Objective: Construction of 2 classrooms for nursery to grade 1
Beneficiaries: 150 students from village of Jalkeni
Three new classrooms

Inside the classroom
Outcome: The application was part approved at the NAFA meeting for the construction of 2 classrooms in a joint funding with Non Residents Nepalese Assoc. (NRNA). The Nepal Project Coordinator visited the school in mid December 2011 and early 2012 to view the construction of the school and provide an update on the project. The project was progressing well and so in Dec 2012 the school applied for additional funding to complete this pre school. In January 2014 a final inspection was made of the school by the NAFA project coordinator. The school now has three classrooms fitted out with small tables and mats for the young children making it a friendly environment for learning.
