Thanking our friend Anil
Our friend Anil has recently completed the grueling NYC Triathlon for OLE Nepal. The Panasonic NYC Triathlon which was held in New York City on July 19th, 2015 saw the presence of many enthusiastic participants who ran, swam and cycled. Among them was our friend Anil who successfully completed the Triathlon with flying colors. While finishing the Triathlon was his aim, his inner motive was to support a good cause. He generously supported OLE Nepal’s campaign to rebuild schools in the earthquake affected areas. Many people cheered up for his courage and determination. Through this event, he was also successful in involving many people from his community in this campaign. His active role in spreading a word on our campaign indeed helped us gain many generous supporters.

Sindhupalchowk: ruins and relief
On May 20, I traveled from Kathmandu to Liskankhu, Sindhupalchowk, to help with a relief program. Sindhupalchowk is one of the most severely damaged districts by the earthquake. It had been less than two months since I had traveled the same area admiring beautiful, lush villages. Now, to see the same villages turned into rubble was heart-wrenching. But it was also relieving to see people coming together to help each other. Many temporary houses were built along the way through the locals' efforts, and I was also able to witness a relief program that was very well-managed by the village committee.

A fascinating case of Surya Joshi
Surya is nine, studies in class four, and is the first boy among his fellow students. He has always been first since pre-primary. It had only been a week since his first encounter with the XO laptop, but his skill and cleverness helped him get the idea of using the tool very quickly. It was natural for students to grasp the knowledge at their own pace; some were able to get it soon, and for others, it took some time. In addition to being good at using his new educational tool, Surya was also equally motivated towards extracurricular activities, such as music, games, etc. In my observation, other students were quite passive in comparison to his activeness and interest in learning new things.
