Sindhupalchowk: ruins and relief
On May 20, I traveled from Kathmandu to Liskankhu, Sindhupalchowk, to help with a relief program. Sindhupalchowk is one of the most severely damaged districts by the earthquake. It had been less than two months since I had traveled the same area admiring beautiful, lush villages. Now, to see the same villages turned into rubble was heart-wrenching. But it was also relieving to see people coming together to help each other. Many temporary houses were built along the way through the locals' efforts, and I was also able to witness a relief program that was very well-managed by the village committee.

Bringing smiles in innocent faces
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.

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.
