Fund Raising/Additional support to School
 
This volunteering program is a basic program that we have developed for you to visit to Government school and do volunteering teaching and the cost charged to you is

only for a required lodging/food/school exp. for your staying during the trip. However when you will be there, as school was affected from earthquake and they almost have no good set up of anything in their school (We initiating fundraising to this school for basic support to assist them), school always have expectation from westerners to get more support on their school, thus it is always a best to assist school from your side to enlighten them more from your visit.
 
You could campaign for fundraising for their school for making science laboratory, library making, buying cupboards, tables, chairs, teaching posters, digital teaching DVDs etc. or assisting on sports such as, buying footballs, volleyballs and nets, badminton, table tennis, cricket etc.
We know that fact that everyone could not do much, but you may assist on anything that you could to support them on your trip to their place. You could even do very small support such as, buying some sports materials, buying colors and pencil or textbooks or examination copies etc., which do not cost more then US $100- $200 but this would also make them feel very good!
 
If you want to support anything, you could buy each and everything in Kathmandu to take with you.
