School and Community Maintenance

This assignment is perfect for those who might be uncomfortable in front of a class but who would still like to do some good in that environment. All the schools have a need for windows, doors, plastering, painting, playground equipment, and trash bins. Most schools do not have a library because they lack a room that is water-tight for the books. There is an organization that is willing to stock the libraries of both public and private schools in Nepal, but first they will do an inspection to insure that the elements can't harm the books. Most schools have tin roofs that are full of small holes.

We invite volunteers to identify projects that appeal to them in this area, and then we use part of the volunteer’s fee to purchase the materials for the project. Roof repair, bookshelf building, running an electric light to the room, and painting the room in exciting and colorful murals are some of the past projects that have been accomplished. This program is highly individual and very rewarding. The children and parents will all warmly embrace you into their lives.
