Sabita and Sawal started setting up the laptops and slowly passed each one around. All the children in the room seemed very excited and happy to see the green tool placed in front of them. And that was exactly what we wanted - to see them smile and enjoy their time amidst the fearful situation.

They sat in a group of three and started trying out different activities and lessons from E-paath. Children were unsure when their schools would resume, but these sessions definitely helped them spend their time in quality learning. OLE Nepal is conducting these relief efforts in different places. The following photo series shows kids involved in exploring the educational tool at Kirtipur. We are available in two centers of Kirtipur: Navajyoti Primary School and Janasewa Higher Secondary School between 11 am and 3 pm.
