Sourcing Community Stories: Workshop reflections from Ghami, Mustang and Tinje, Dolpo
During September and October 2025, our team visited Ghami Basic School in Ghami, Mustang, and Siddhartha Kula Basic School in Tinje, Dolpo, for the second round of field activities under the LLEST project. This visit was designed to build upon the foundational work carried out during our initial visit last year in September 2024, when we had conducted orientation and training sessions, carried out teacher and student surveys, and deployed tablets and offline servers equipped with digital learning resources. While the first visit focused on assessing the local learning contexts and laying the foundation for the collaboration, the primary objective of this year’s engagement was to facilitate community participation through story-building workshops. These workshops sought to source authentic narratives and stories from community members to expand the Hamro Ramailo Kathaharu (HRK) collection. Beyond sourcing the local stories, this visit also provided an opportunity to share updated learning materials, introduce newly developed courses under the LLEST project, and gather feedback to improve the ongoing content development.

A 3-Day Story Building Workshop with Students from Dolpo
This blog is a reflection from a three-day story-building workshop held in Snow Leopard Residence with 17 students from Dolpo currently living at the Snow Leopard Residence in Kathmandu, as part of the ONGD-LLEST project to create early childhood learning materials in local languages. Over three days, students explored the purpose of stories, learned storytelling techniques, and collaboratively created original stories rooted in their lived experiences and cultural surroundings, later presenting them to the group. These stories will be part of the building the Hamro Ramailo Kathaharu collection, preserving the local stories while also building cultural connection, values, and early literacy.

Reflections from the first phase of activities at schools in Madhesh Province
In February 2025, our project team visited two of the project locations under the ONGD-LLEST Project: Janakpurdham Sub-Metropolitan City and Dhangadhimai Municipality. With two teams of five members each, we visited Shree Madhyamik Vidyalaya in Janakpurdham-22, Basabitti, and Shree Janta Adharbhut Vidhyalaya in Dhangadhimai-4, Shantanagar. The visits focused on setting up an offline server with O.L.E. Nepal's digital learning resources, providing tablets to access those learning materials, and introducing students and teachers to our learning platforms. Beyond that, we worked to build rapport with schools and local communities, assess learning needs, test the usability of the learning platform, gather feedback through teacher and student surveys, and lay the foundation for long-term collaboration in enhancing education.
