School requisites for 22 children

The Jana Jyoti Primary School in Duble is a government school, which offers only 8 classes. The parents do not need to pay school fees, but they have to buy school supplies themselves.
In the beginning of 2008, we selected, in consultation with the Dubleli Milijuli Group, 16 children as candidates for our assistance. They are all growing-up in very adverse conditions such as orphans, half orphans, disabled or Dalits ('untouchables' or people of low castes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalit).
For these children, we pay the school needs.

We have guaranteed this contribution for a minimum of five years. Annually we see whether the number of children and/or the amount money should/could be adjusted.
Doing so we added one child in 2009 and one in 2010. The total number in 2013 is 22.


2008: 15 of the 16 children. Only Mathbir Tamang (see photo below) could not be present when this photo was taken.


2009: We now sponsor two more children.
Not all the sponsor money was needed for school requisites.
It was decided to spent the remainder on school dresses.
