Current Situation:

We have just recently started this small library called the Himalayan Library Shami Bhanjyang Higher Secondary School.

As we are in the early starting phase and still are short of funds at the moment, we have only a few books available. These books are located in the Library Room which is offered to us by the school. We have about 1000 students at the school from grade 1 to +2. They need books for children to +2 students. We don’t have enough books yet to offer our +2 students in the fields of education, commerce, and arts.

Why the Himalayan Library Shami Bhanjyang Higher Secondary School?

SamiBhanjyang Higher Secondary School was established in 1969 with the joint help of the people of five VDC´s, and it has become a small society. The students who join the school are all from different races, different castes, and different areas. Although the school already exists from 1969 until today, they have not been able to provide a library for their students. Neither the Nepalese government nor anybody from the private sector seemed to be making an effort to build a library at this school.

Currently, the school accommodates over 1000 students. Due to the lack of books available, these students are all forced to learn only from their one provided textbook and follow the traditional and sometimes dull way of studying. No new approach to teaching has been practiced for decades. And the students cannot acquire new knowledge or cannot do any further research in areas that they are interested in.

As a result of this, many students fail their national exams, and those who are lucky enough to pass the exams have many difficulties searching for future opportunities. When they go to college or try to find a good job, they have so much competition from students from other private and well-established schools, and they suffer from the lack of proper education and development. They will lose opportunities, and most of the time and also they will remain unemployed.

Here are the reasons we need a school library

To provide textbooks in the card system to the students who can’t afford their book, Facilitate the teachers and students in teaching-learning activities. Provide extra sources of knowledge. To utilize the learners’ leisure period.

Future Plan:

At the moment we are already happy with the few books that we were able to supply to the library. But, we want the library, and the possibilities and knowledge of these students to grow!

We plan to add many and useful resources for the students (both lower class as graduate students), these resources can be in the form of books, or magazines, or journals.

Looking for your help:

We have been able to make a good solid start to the library with the sum of US$1500.

But we need more books, covering more different fields and subjects, and we need another room with furniture to run this library even better in the future. Growing up and being able to go to school and learn more in the library means a future for the children.

Our target is to raise another US$3000 by the end of this year.
