Changing Nepali Classrooms
Mr. Acharya’s dream does not seem too farfetched when he has dedicated and competent teachers like Mr. Sambhu Prasad Bhat. Observing Mr. Bhat’s ICT-integrated class is as good as getting a crash course on how to use various resources to deliver an effective class. Mr. Bhat has clear and well-thoughtout plan. He would start with Grade 6 English textbook where children are explained about alphabetical order. While the children eagerly read what the book has on the topic, Mr. Bhat writes the names of few students on the white board. He asks the children to arrange the names in the Alphabetical Order. Children are excited to see their names on the board. It did not take long for the children to copy the ten names in alphabetical order on each of their exercise books. The children are then asked to open their E-Paati laptops.

One Heckuva Nice Guy
Bernie Innocenti arrived in Kathmandu a week ago and he has changed the OLE Nepal office in so many ways. For one thing, this guy knows linux inside and out, in so much more depth than anyone else on the team. He has already made a big impact on the sysadmin team by showing us how to set up LVM RAID 1 for our E-Pustakalaya (E-Library). He is teaching us about Sugar and helping us optimize our activity performance.

My first three weeks with OLE Nepal
Before coming to Kathmandu, my knowledge of OLPC and the XO was limited to what I had read in the news. I really have learned much in the last three weeks. My first lesson was that OLPC is not an implementation organization. Don't get me wrong, the development and distribution of an affordable laptop is great. It's the XO that initially drew me to OLE Nepal, however, there is so much more to the OLPC model than the XO.
