| Here
are some of the acheivements of Namste Banepa so far...
•
Since 1998 we have put, and kept, 45 children in to school.
•
Four of our children have completed their schooling. One is
attending college, one is working in the local hospital, one
is working privately for the hospital director and his wife
and one is currently applying for further education.
•
With our attendance monitoring system we know our children
attend school regularly.
•
We have raised the level of awareness in the surrounding villages
as to the importance of education.
•
We have also brought about the beginnings of changes in attitudes
to the issues of caste and gender.
•
Though our efforts teacher have been motivated to become more
pro-active in the classroom.
•
And, as we believe in sending our children to government schools,
we are supporting the government education system, which,
while needing dramatic re-thinking, is the only hope for those
who cannot afford to go to private fee paying schools.
Together
lets break the circle of illiteracy and poverty.
