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.

The Wise Man in the Training
The narrow training hall in the KP Plaza Hotel, crammed with 24 teachers, one school supervisor and four OLE Nepal staff, resembled the crowded fish market in the heart of Kathmandu. Actually, it was not exactly a hall, but a balcony turned into a hall by hanging curtains along the three open sides. The cold breeze from the Seti river streamed continuously through the gaps between the curtains, but that did not bother the participants gathered there for the seven-day long training on using laptops and digital learning tools in classrooms. Neither did they complain about the foul smell and the continuous noise from the generator. At 10 AM on January 22, 2014 Bajhang district headquarter, Chainpur, was slowly coming to life, and the participants braved the cold and and the inconvenience to get started with enthusiasm.
