Recently, with
the help of some dedicated and conscious
friends from social media Facebook and Twitter, we had started a social media
campaign named BOOK FOR VILLAGE,
beginning with a meeting at Bhrikuti Mandap on March 31, 2012.
So what’s this BOOK FOR VILLAGE CAMPAIGN?
This is a group of enthusiastic
friends which is formed with an aim to provide and establish library for
children and community at four different Government schools of remote vilages
of Nepal, Surkhet, Bardiya and Morang.
In this campaign, besides
newspapers and guide papers of any discipline, you can provide us with any readable
old/new books especially primary and secondary level books. We have been able
to collect more than two thousand books from our helpful friends from Kathmandu
and Pokhara in this very short period. And this collection of books has been
extended to Hetauda, Surkhet and other towns. We must say, we have been
encouraged by the extraordinary participation of our friends.
The gradual increase in number of our participant friends, and excitement for collection of books had encouraged us and added an extra vigour to our aim of building a library. If we find similar success in collecting books, then we can build library not in a single place but nationwide. We just need your enthusiasm, support, encouragement and participation.

Recently we have passed four
proposals for building library. Among them we have discussed two proposals
here. We will make sure to update the remaining proposals gradually. Especially,
for now we have moved ahead to provide books in a way, where the community
itself will take the full responsibility of books and use them in their own
supervision. Now we are searching for mechanism to fulfill this particular aim.
But providing books like this may jeopardize the security of books. So book
racks are quite necessary to keep them safely. In order to overcome this
problem we have proposed that books will be provided for only such institutions,
who are well equipped with book racks and other prerequisites to store books
properly. But if this cannot be done, we have proposed to help those
institutions by providing them financial aid. For this we have used our own
account no, especially for those who cannot provide books but are willing
to help the cause financially. We are happy to announce that if we are able to
collect sufficient fund, then that fund will be utilized to buy computers and
book racks for the library.
We are very thankful to tfcian Mr. Ngawang Chophel Sherpa, who is helping us raise funds in the U.K for this Book
For Village campaign. If any one of you are in the U.K and interested in our
cause, you can contact Mr Ngawang Chophel Sherpa.
