"Book For Village" ''गाउँमा पुस्तक अभियान''

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.

If you have any old new unused books at your home, donate to the students who desperately need them and be a part of our campaign. Thank you.
You can drop your books in the following collecting centers.
1. UFO, Kathmandu Mall [Ground Floor]
2. Youth Action Nepal, Anamnagar
3. Rakshya Shree Sahakari Sanstha, Kalanki.
4. Equal Excess Nepal, Jhamsikhel.

Book For Village ''गाउँमा पुस्तक अभियान''

केहिदिन अघी, [March 31 Saturday, 2012] सोसिएल मेडिया फेसबुक र ट्विटरका सचेत साथीहरुको पहलमा भृकुटिमण्डपम भएको मिटिङ्ग्मा "गाँउमाकिताब" Book For Village भन्ने सोसियल मिडिया अभियान सुरुगरेका थियौँ परिक्षणको रुपमा।
के हो त यो गाँउमा किताव Book For Village अभियान? 
सुर्खेतको जर्बुटामा रहेको उच्चमावि करैखोला, मकवानपुरको सारिखेतमा रहेको सुर्योदय मावि, धादिङको नलाङमा रहेको मावि नलाङ र मोरङको श्रीमहेन्द्र निमावी, बवियाबिर्ता ३ मंगलबारेमा स्कुले नानीबाबुहरु र समुदायका लागि पुस्तकालय स्थापना गर्नको लागी खोलिएको एउटा उत्साहित साथिहरुको समुह हो |

एस अभियानमा किताब जम्मा हुने उत्साह र बिस्तारै थपिँदै जानुभएका साथीहरुको जोशले हामीलाई पुस्तकालय बनाउन सकिन्छ कि भन्ने उर्जा थपिंदै गएको महसुस भएको छ। हामीले अहिले काठमान्डौ  तथा पोखरामा बिभिन्न साथीहरु मार्फत एकहजार भन्दा बढीपुस्तकहरु जम्मा गरिसकेका छौं र यो क्रम हेटौँडा, सुर्खेत लगायतका शहरहरुमा पनि बढ्दो छ। एसमा सम्पुर्ण साथिहरुको सहयोगले हामि अझ हौसिएका छौँ |

Book For Village meeting , March 31, 2012 @ Bhrikutimandap.

 

हाम्रो एस अभियानमा कुनैपनि बिषयका पत्रपत्रीका तथा गाइड गेसपेपर बाहेकका पढ्नयोग्य नयाँ तथा पुराना पुस्तकहरु जम्मा गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ र  यसैगरी पुस्तकहरु जम्मा हुँदैजाने हो भने पुस्तकालय एकदुई ठाउँमा मात्र होइन, दशौं ठाउँमा बनाउन सकिनेछ, मात्र साथीहरुको उत्साहको खाँचो छ।


हामीले अहिले पुस्तकालयका लागि जम्माजम्मी चारवटा प्रस्ताबहरु प्राप्त गरेका छौं र तीमध्ये दुईवटा प्रस्ताबलाई यहाँ प्रस्तुत समेत गरिएको छ। बाँकी हामी अपडेट गर्दैजाने नै छौँ। अहिले बिशेषगरी समुदायले नै जिम्मा लिएर जिम्मेवारीपुर्बक चलाऊने गरी मात्र पुस्तकहरु जिम्मादिने गरी पहल थालिएको छ र हामी त्यस्को लागि संयन्त्रसमेत खोजी गर्नेछौँ। तैपनी पुस्तक मात्र दिंदा त्यस्को सुरक्षाको समेत प्रश्न उठ्न जानेभएकोले त्यस्लाइ राख्नकोलागि बूकर्याकहरु समेत जरुरत पर्ने देखिन्छ। हामीले आबस्यक पूर्वधार भएका बिद्यालयलाई मात्र पुस्तक दिने भनेको भए पनि यदी हुनसकेको खन्डमा जती सक्दो उठाएर सहयोग गर्न सकिने अवस्था समेत देखिन्छ। त्यसैले यसकामका लागि हामीले tfcNepal कै खातालाई हालको लागि प्रयोग गरी पुस्तक दिन नसक्ने तर आर्थिक सहयोग गर्न चाहने साथीहरुको लागि रकम पठाउन मिल्ने ब्यबस्था गरिएकोछ। रकम पर्याप्त भएको खण्डमा पुस्तकालयका लागि कम्प्युटर तथा बुकर्याकहरु किन्ने कार्यमा खर्च गरिने ब्यहोरा समेत जानकारी गराउदछौं।

एसै क्रममा हाम्रा tfcNepal का साथी Ngawang Chophel Sherpa लाई धेरै धेरै धन्यबाद दिन चाहन्छौँ| ओहाँले UK बाट Book For Village अभियानको लागी सहयोग सन्कलन गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ| एदि हजुरहरु मध्य कोही UK मा हुनुहुन्छ र Book For Village अभियानलाई सहयोग गर्न चाहनुहुन्छ भने Ngawang Chophel Sherpa लाई सम्पार्क गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ|

A letter from Surkhet VDC.

                              
यो विद्यालय बिक्रम संवत २०२९ साल कार्तिक १ गते स्थापना भई वि.सं. २०५२ सालमा निमावि, २०५६ मा मावि हुँदै २०६७ मा उच्च मावि भएको हो । पुर्ण रुपमा सामुदायिक यस विद्यालय संचालनमा कहिँ कतैबाट सहयोग नभएको अवस्थामा जर्बुटा गाविस अन्तर्गतका यस विद्यालयका अभिभावकको अहोरात्रको खटाई, विद्यालय ब्यवस्थापन समिति र शिक्षक विद्यार्थीले खेलेका सकारात्मक भुमिका संधै सम्झिनुपर्ने खालका छन् ।

भौगोलिक बनोटका आधारमा जर्बुटा गाविस बीरेन्द्रनगर नगरपालिकासंग जोडिएको गाविस भएपनि, विकास र पुर्वाधारका हिसाबले यो निकै पछाडि रहेको देखिन्छ । त्यस्तै बिक्रम संवत २०५७ देखिमात्र यस गाउँका विद्यार्थीले आफ्नै गाउँको विद्यालयबाट एसएलसी परिक्षा दिन पाएका हुन । यस अघि यहाँका विद्यार्थीहरु करिब डेढ घण्टाको जंगलको बाटो हुँदै सदरमुकाममा रहेका उच्चमावि नेवारे वा उच्चमावि इत्राममा पढ्न जानुपर्ने बाध्यता थियो । पछिल्ला दिनहरुमा यस गाउँमा पनि उच्चमावि अध्ययन गर्ने विद्यार्थीहरुको संख्या बढ्दै गएको र यहाँबाट बाहिर पढ्न जानका निम्ति उच्च माविका कक्षाहरु विहानीपख हुने हुँदा उज्यालो नहुँदै झिसमिसेमा जंगलको बाटोको असहज यात्रा गर्नुपर्ने अवस्थालाई २०६७ मा विद्यालयले उच्च माविका कक्षाहरु संचालन गरेपछि सहज बनाएको छ ।

हाल यस विद्यालयले शिक्षा र ब्यवस्थापन बिषयमा उच्च माविका कक्षाहरु संचालन गरेको छ । विद्यालयमा उच्च मावितर्फ कक्षा ११ र १२ मा गरि करिब १३० जना विद्यार्थीहरु रहेका छन भने प्रावि, निमावि र मावि तर्फ गरि करिब ६७० जना विद्यार्थीहरु छन । यस प्रकार विद्यालयले करिब ८०० जना विद्यार्थीलाई शिक्षाको उज्यालो दिनेकाम गरिरहेको छ ।

राज्यको अत्यन्त न्युन आर्थिक सहायता, त्यो पनि शिक्षक कर्मचारीलाई तलब खुवाउँदैमा सकिने, गाविसबाट प्राप्त अनुदान पनि निजी श्रोतका शिक्षक कर्मचारीलाई तलब खुवाउँदैमा सकिने अवस्थाका कारण कैयौँ संघसंस्थाहरुसंगबाट सहयोग लिँदै बिद्यालयले हाल उच्चमावि सम्मको कक्षा संचालन गर्नसकिने भवन निर्माण गरेको छ । तथापी यी भवनहरु सुविधासम्पन्न र पर्याप्त भने छैनन । त्यस्तै एउटा कम्प्युटर ल्याब र केही दिन अघिबाट मात्रै समुदायको समेत पहुँच हुनेगरि एउटा छुट्टै पुस्तकालय भवन निर्माण कार्य सुरु भएको छ । पुस्तकालय भवन समेत स्थानिय अभिभावकहरुको श्रमदानमा बनिरहेको छ । जसका लागि केही सिमेन्ट र बालुवाको जोहो गर्न समेत विद्यालयलाइ धौ धौ भईरहेको छ ।

विद्यालयमा हाल १० वटा पक्की ढलान कोठाहरु, ५ वटा टिनका छानायुक्त कोठा र त्यसमा पनि २ वटाकोठा प्रयोगमा ल्याउन नमिल्ने खालका छन । त्यस्तै एउटा विज्ञान प्रयोगशाला र एउटा सानोकोठा उच्चमाविका विद्यार्थीका लागि अत्यन्त सानो रेफरेन्स बुकहरु राखिएको कोठा र एउटा अफिस गरि जम्मा १८ वटा कोठा छन । शिक्षक र कर्मचारी गरी १९ जना जनशक्ति कार्यरत यस विद्यालयले जर्बुटा गाविसको वडा नम्बर २, ३, ४, ५, ६, ७, ८ र ९ तथा साटाखानी र रतु गाविसका विद्यार्थीहरुलाई सेवा प्रदान गरिरहेको छ ।

समुदायको श्रम र पसिनाका भरमा संचालित यस विद्यालयमा हाल टड्कारो समस्याका रुपमा एउटा सुविधासम्पन्न पुस्तकालयको अभाव नै देखिएको छ । विद्यालयमा हाल रहेको जनशक्तिलाई प्रयोग गर्दै एउटा पुस्तकालय स्थापना गर्ने चाहना विद्यालयको भएपनि आवस्यक पुस्तक सहयोग कहिँ कतैबाट प्राप्त नभएका कारण पुस्तकालय स्थापना गर्न नसकिएको हो । पुस्तकालय स्थापनाका लागि विद्यालयलाई कम्प्युटर थान एक, पुस्तक राख्ने ¥याक ४ वटा र उच्च मावि अन्तर्गत शिक्षा र ब्यवस्थापन संकायका कोर्षबुकहरु, रेफरेन्स बुकहरु, कम्प्युटर लगायत विज्ञान प्रविधिका पुस्तकहरु, कला साहित्य र मानविय अभिरुचीका बिद्यार्थीको ब्यक्तित्व विकासका निम्ति उपयोगी पुस्तकहरु, बालकथा तथा बाल साहित्यका पुस्तकहरु, शिक्षकका निम्ति उपयोगी पुस्तकहरु, सामान्य ज्ञानका पुस्तकहरु, पत्रकारिता, पर्यटन, बैदेशिक रोजगारी, शिप र ब्यवसाय उपयोगी र अन्य जीवनउपयोगी शिपका पुस्तकहरु बिद्यालयको अपेक्षामा पर्दछन ।
 
अन्त्यमाः अत्यन्तै न्युन आर्थिक अवस्थाबाट गुज्रिरहेको यस विद्यालयले निकै कम पाठ्य सामग्रीका बाबजुद पनि शिक्षाको गुणस्तर खस्किन नदिएको प्रमाण, उच्चमावि संचालनको पहिलो बर्षमै कक्षा ११ को नतिजामा सामुदायिक बिद्यालयहरु तर्फ राम्रो नतिजा ल्याउन सफल जिल्लाका उत्कृष्ट बिद्यालयहरु मध्ये दोश्रोमा यस विद्यालय पर्नु पनि हो भन्न सकिन्छ । तसर्थ शिक्षाको गुणस्तरलाई अँझै उकास्न विद्यालयमा पुस्तकालय हुनुले पनि निक्कै महत्व राख्नेहुँदा पुस्तकालय स्थापनामा यहाँहरु सबैको अमुल्य सहयोगको अपेक्षा गरिएको छ ।

First Anniversary : A Mere Milestone

 

                                                           
A small group of endeavors excited to help people in the best way possible discovered an easy way to utilize generous people using less known micro-blogging site 'Twitter' amongst Nepali youth exactly one year ago, has now become a very fine trademark for relating a Nepali  twitter user to the other in a precise manner now.  We have come across a lot of  unity while helping deprived and under privileged group of people around our community, but there used to be an instance while despite of your greatness and tremendous efforts, we were lacking to extend out much to help them sustain their lives. But after we thought of uniting twitter users, we have now become able to extend our helping hands to there where in need. This is all due to you generous people out there donating in the best possible way. Thank you all for your continuous support and enchanted mercy-fulness. Long live humanity !!

During the moment of uniting, we were very much keen in knowing the ways we could ever help the needy ones in the best way possible and we came out with an idea to collect some sum of amounts however we can because money would anyway always be a key to help anyone. We then decided to make a fund by collecting with twitter users, so called the members of tfcNepal (no any compulsion was laid to donation) as according to at least 20p a tweet. This could as well generate a nice amount in the fund which was totally satisfactory and we were encouraged. Later on when we came upto the collection, kind hearted twitter users donated us much more than expected amount from the number of tweets they tweeted. As knowing the general interests and as everyone was satisfied that the sum collected goes to the targeted groups directly, people were more delighted to donate money to us which later on became a very handsome sum and we conducted different missions all over.

We have had five different missions in different needy places in the first year of our establishment. Extremely motivated by the compassion in helping people (mostly children) and helping them to enable their right to education always drove us and kept us energetic during all the missions and we are proud we did our best to accomplish all of them successfully.

Mission#1 done in the Pabitra Samaj Sewa (PSS) , Nepal was a huge compliment when we helped 22 children living with a very young and dedicated social worker Dikchhya Chapagai in the shades provided by a nearby government school in Dhapasi. Details here.

Mission#2 which we accomplished in the Disabled Rehabilitation Center (DRC) at Gokarna was another huge success where we donated various daily edibles and food according to their needs. DRC was then a home for 55 different homeless children who were directly effected by the 10 years long violence and conflict in the country, and it has been continuing its good work by serving disabled children from all around Nepal. Details here.

Mission#3 was done in Sharada Primary School in Tilganga, Kathmandu where we donated 125 school bags to the students studying there who came along from very deprived community who could not afford basic educational materials easily. Along with the bags, we also donated sufficient other educational materials as well. Details here.

Mission#4 was held in Naya Nepal Apanga Samaj Kendra, Shantinagar, Kathmandu where we helped the children living there by donating foods, education materials along with shoes on the occassion of the greatest Hindu Celebration Dashain. Details here.

Mission#5 was organised away from Kathmandu, in Udayapur where we helped 19 visually impaired children living under Samyukta Drishtibihin Shrot Kachhya at Belahi, Udayapur. We donated various clothings, bedsheets, blankets and food to deprived and visually impaired children. Details here.

Never the less, it has been possible due to your generous and kind involvement in helping them. We would like to thank all our friends,members,donors and kind hearted individuals who directly helped us in supporting the under previleged ones. So that everyone is well informed about the donations provided, please keep updated by checking your donation list here. And notify us if your donation is missing. To keep everything fair enough, we have clearly mentioned all the donations received and expenses done in each missions separately. Please inform us if you find anything suspicious.

We have been able to march together towards helping people and society around us only because of our togetherness. We wish that this continues until the humanity remains. Thank you all again you wonderful people, thank you for your generousity that deprived groups of children have at least been benifited a bit with your help.

At last, We would be more than happy to recieve your kind helps, suggestions which we will surely utelize to help the unprivileged people (especially children) around our communities. We would also be happy to know if you are aware of such deprived group of people around your periphery who could be greatly helped by our little helps. Please write to us and make us noticed. Write to us at tfcnepal@gmail.com or mention os @tfcNepal in twitter.
Long  Live Humanity.

Thank you. Happy tweeting.
