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.

Our duties teaches us more than what we expect!
The afternoon of January 18, saw me and Peter seated in a Buddha Air Flight to Dhangadhi. Our final destination was Chainpur, Bajhang. We had to deploy XO laptops and the E-Pustakalaya server in 4 schools and subsequently, provide support to the schools. Since we were there primarily for support, I would be talking solely about it on my blog. But for a good read, I encourage you to read Bishnu dai’s blog to know about deployment elsewhere on this site.

Balancing the act of duty and wanderlust
It was 5 a.m. when the sound of my alarm clock woke me up. I got up, got ready, grabbed my bags, and headed to the OLE Nepal office, where my colleague Deepa was waiting for me. To get a head start, we had packed all the necessary equipment, laptops, stationery, and other documents the day before. I couldn’t help but feel content knowing that everything was going according to plan. Despite the heavy bags we had to carry and load into the taxi, we felt energized and ready for the journey ahead.
