There are children who have never had that joy to sit down and read of Peter Pan’s adventures or about Little Bear’s birthday party or adventure in the snow or to the moon. This is said to be a generation that does not read, to me that seems impossible because my nose is always in a book or writing one myself.

We need to get creative in the ways we educate our children without them realizing that we are indeed educating them, to them they are having a great time, a time to laugh, cry and escape prince who was held captive. In this article I’m going to find the best magazines for children to receive, think how special that child will feel to receive something in the mail every month just for them.

As an adult I really love National Geographic, I love animals. I recently discovered National Geographic Kids; you get ten issues for under $20.00. Your kids will have so much fun with this magazine they won’t have a clue that they are learning while having a blast! In this magazine you will find interesting and exciting stories about animals and the places they live. They have stories of accomplishments of other kids, which will help encourage your kid to want to achieve and accomplishment of their own that combines fun with learning. Also there are really neat games and puzzles that help the juices flow in the brain. Posters and trading cards of the animals will make this experience all the more exciting.

If you have a child that loves comics or History, especially the World War II era than this magazine will be a treat. It’s an on-going story; Captain America fights the good fight of today. It’s filled with conspiracies, action, terror and much more and all age appropriate. 12 issues for only $23.97, you’re paying around $2.00 a magazine.

In recent and past studies it shows that a kid that is interested in music and art will be smart in math and English. That’s why this next magazine can play an important role in your child’s education plus it’s so much fun for the kid and for the parent. Arts & Activities is an education magazine that is filled with lesson plans, projects that are ideal for any grade level and ability and it’s full of creativity and inspiration. This is not only a great magazine for a kid but an art teacher also. You will receive 10 issues for under $25.00, that’s a 17% discount off of the cover price.

This last magazine is great if you have a child in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade. Ask, challenges kids on issues containing arts and science. They have articles and interviews and projects and puzzles and word plays and fun and educational activities. It not only talks of today’s great inventors and artists but of inventors and artists of hundreds of years ago. This magazine is more expensive but well worth the price and at a 44% saving on the cover price think of what you’ll be saving by paying $32.97 for 9 issues.

To find these above magazines and many more on education and any other subject you may be interested in visit, www.magazines.com for some great discounts and overviews of every magazine available.

*Below is an excerpt from “My Friend Yu – The Prosperity Mentor: Book II. Release Date: October/November 2007. Pantejo – Y.N. Vurce Publishing.

Writing while “in the flow” of inspiration is a delicious, highly personal, and exhilarating experience. It seems like you can’t type fast enough to express your thoughts on the page!

And like the masters from the Renaissance era, you create a beautiful mental masterpiece, passionately painting nuances here and mysterious shadows there with each additional word, sentence, and paragraph.

The mental high is intoxicating. You celebrate this adventure and, when finished, marvel at your literary creation.

But how do you create and capture writer’s inspiration in those times of low/no inspiration?

Here’s how I do it…

INCREASING AWARENESS

Some people go about their days and nights on auto-pilot. To them, they feel like they’ve seen it all so many times that nothing is new or exciting. But is this really the case?

Indulge me for a moment.

If the following exercise does not make you aware of some previously “hidden” things in your daily life; make you remember a long forgotten experience, place, or person; or immediately crystallize a new idea to write about, don’t waste your time reading the rest of the article.

AN EXERCISE FOR SUPER-AWARENESS

The following is an exercise that I formulated to boost awareness and magically manifest writer’s inspiration instantaneously!

1. First, relax. Slow down your breathing.

Close your eyes for at least 10 seconds.

Now, open your eyes and look around you and stop at the first object that interests you. It could be an object that you’ve never noticed before. Or it could be an overlooked aspect of an object you’ve seen everyday. It might even be a hint of movement that you catch in your peripheral vision.

Imagine that you just pressed the “pause” button on your mind/eye remote control and “Freeze Framed” your image in your mind.

Once you’ve envisioned the frozen frame, close your eyes again and see if you can still see the “still picture” that you’ve just created.

If you can’t, do the above steps again.

If you can still see it, then go on to Step 2.

2. Do a “Matrix-Style Still Pan” (i.e., imagine viewing your “still” and then floating around it to get a 360 degree panoramic view.)

Describe what you see.

Describe what you feel.

Describe what you think happened before your still image.

Describe what you think will happen next.

For most people, the above exercise reveals that everybody’s daily lives are filled with hidden details, images, feelings, imagination, anticipation, and predictions.

THIS IS THE STUFF THAT WRITER’S INSPIRATION IS MADE OF…

Here’s a quick and simple example:

I am in front of my laptop writing this article right now.

To relax, I think about the last time I felt totally content, serene. It was last Sunday (the only day of the week that I don’t teach English). I lounged about my apartment, savoring the opportunity to just watch T.V. with my girlfriend.

No lesson plans to prepare. No homework to grade. No attendance or test scores to record. The upcoming week’s work clothes were laundered and ironed. It was a total respite from my normal hectic schedule; just some sweet, unhurried time for us to enjoy each other’s company.

Feeling relaxed, I am slowing down my breathing. Now I close my eyes for ten seconds.

When I open my eyes I see my girlfriends stuffed animals on the bed. I “Freeze-Frame” it in my mind.

Then, I close my eyes and still see my “still picture” in all its vivid detail.

I mentally float around my mind’s “still picture” and imagine what I would see while getting a 360 degree panoramic view.

I see her stuffed animals on the bed. Her folded T-shirt is beside her pillow. I see the neatly folded blanket at the foot of the bed. Glancing back to her T-shirt, I see her mobile phone headphones and late night novel peeping out from under it.

I am aware of many feelings connected to my visual (i.e., love, gratitude, anticipation, excitement, contentment, humor, dedication, etc.).

I imagine the scenes leading up to my “mental, panoramic, still picture.” For example, since I leave early every morning to go to work, I can see my girlfriend waking up to an empty apartment. I can see her sleepily, but lovingly folding our blanket…

Then I imagine what might happen after my “mental still picture.” For example, maybe after changing into some jeans and blouse, she went shopping? Or maybe she’s visiting our sick friend and waiting for me to tell her I’m home from work?

EXPERIENCE WITH ALL YOUR SENSES

Using the above example, I could write:

…I looked at the stuffed animals I’d given her on our last visit to the fair. I walked over to the bed and picked up the Doraemon stuffed toy (a Japanese cartoon character that my girlfriend is fond of). Even at arm’s length, I could smell her perfume. God, I missed her. (She would still be away for another two days visiting her mother up north). The toy was almost as soft as her hands, the hands that would instinctively reach for mine while we walked. Looking at this silly stuffed toy, I let out a long sigh. My soul ached to enjoy her smile, laugh, and tenderness again.

Grudgingly, I deal with the next reminder of our temporary separation: eating alone. To be honest, if she were here, I’d even hold my nose and eat that fishy smelling, weird tasting Thai dish she always recommended…

Do you see how I described my “visual” with all the senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing)?

ROLE PLAY

Another great tool I use to inspire my writing is role play.

This is where I imagine and describe playing a different role in the same situation. For instance, how would the above paragraph read if I were an angry boyfriend?

What if I was a cheating boyfriend (womanizer)?

What if I was a rich boyfriend? A poor boyfriend?

What if I was not American, but a local Thai boyfriend instead?

What if I was younger or older?

How would I perceive and describe the above “stuffed toy” scenario? How differently would the story unfold?

Do you see the endless possibilities just by assuming a different role in the same scenario?

SIMULATION

The last tool for creating and capturing writer’s inspiration I’ll discuss is Simulation.

Simulation is different from role playing. In role playing, you (or your story’s main character) assume a different personality and perspective. In Simulation you remain unchanged, but the situation or scenario changes.

For example, in the previous “stuffed animal” paragraph, how would the narrative change if my girlfriend left without telling me where she was going?

What if we’d been fighting before she left?

What if she left a “Dear John” letter?

What if there were signs of another man in the apartment (e.g., a strange brand of cigarette butts in the ash tray, mud of unknown origin tracked through the apartment, beer cans in the trash – at noon, etc.)?

What if my neighbors saw her leave with another man?

What if all of her belongings (clothes, cosmetics, books, CD’s, etc.) were gone?

What if she (or someone else) ransacked our apartment and my belongings were gone too?

Again, do you see the limitless writing/storytelling possibilities open to you just by simulating a different situation or scenario?

Whenever I am at a loss for writing inspiration, I always go back to the methods outlined in this article. The exercises and answers generated from the related questions never fail to create vivid images in my mind and a mountain of ideas to write about – instantly, effortlessly, and naturally.

It’s my way of creating and capturing writer’s inspiration.

Try it for yourself. I’d love to hear what you come up with.

SWRB Puritan Hard Drive – Introductory Video

http://www.puritandownloads.com/swrb-puritan-hard-drive0.html

Hello and welcome to this introductory video for the Puritan Hard Drive by Still Waters Revival Books. You will soon see why the Puritan Hard Drive is a technological revolution in Puritan, Reformation and Covenanter studies.

For over 25 years, Still Waters Revival Books has provided the worldwide Christian community with the finest in Puritan and Reformation resources, including classic and contemporary printed works, inspirational sermons, audio books and videos. In recent years our collection of great Christian works has more than doubled, growing to a library that would occupy nearly 130 CD’s!

The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous library of over 12,500 Christian resources on an external hard drive that fits easily in your pocket or purse! It features the works of more than 800 classic and contemporary authors, including John Bunyan, Matthew Henry, Jonathan Edwards, Thomas Manton, Samuel Rutherford and Charles Spurgeon… Timeless works, like The English Hexapla, Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, Sketches of the Covenanters… and from the Puritan Divines, the complete 34 volume set of the Puritan Fast Sermons. Many of these books are rare and classic titles unavailable anywhere else!

Over 25 years in the making, the Puritan Hard Drive is simply the most extensive Christian collection ever released! The puritan hard drive comprises – More than 12,500 Puritan and Reformation resources – Over half a million pages of great Christian books! – More than ten thousand sermons and audio books in mp3 format, providing years of listening enjoyment! – Over 70 videos… – All in all, a library of thousands of exceptional works, accessible and affordable to everyone!

Included on the Puritan Hard Drive is a custom search engine that makes it easy to find, browse and organize the resources in your library… and much easier than trying to wade through a typical file directory on your computer!

Connect the Puritan Hard Drive to any available USB port on your PC or Mac. The drive is self-contained, so there’s no software to install or configure! Within moments you can begin exploring the library by running the custom search interface. It’s also a knowledge base with information about each work, including the author, title, description, keywords and subject category.

For you techies, this database contains over four and a half million records of information! For all of us, that means we have an extremely powerful search and study tool! A list of all resources on the Puritan Hard Drive is available for viewing at any time.

Here we see that the list of print materials contains over 2100 works. This view is ideal for browsing all documents or media files in alphabetical order, by title or by author. The list is rather long, so using the ’search’ function of the knowledge base is the easiest way of finding resources of interest to you.

For example, let’s say that my pastor recommended a book by James Henley Thornwell. I can search the knowledge base by author by typing his name in this field or by selecting it from the complete list of nearly 800 authors provided at the click of a button. Clicking the ’search’ button executes the search and immediately returns a list of all resources by this author. In this case, I’ve quickly found the book that was recommended to me.

Clicking on the green icon opens the resource, allowing me to begin my reading. Further details about any resource can be found by clicking on the book cover icon, which opens the ‘resource detail page’. From here I can browse the details of this work… I can add and save my own notes about it… and open the resource for reading, listening or viewing.

Your search capabilities don’t end there. The majority of the rare, classic works on the Puritan Hard Drive now contain an embedded index. This means that the actual text of these resources is now fully searchable for the first time in history! Enter a search term in Adobe Acrobat Reader. In this case, a search for the word ’scripture’ yields instant results. Having searchable text also makes it possible to highlight, copy and paste the text into another document, such as a sermon, a lesson plan or a school paper.

Less time spent on research means more time for reading, studying and appreciating the resources in your library… Just another reason why the Puritan Hard Drive is a technological revolution in puritan, reformation and covenanter studies!

Thank you for watching this introduction to the Puritan Hard Drive by Still Waters Revival Books, serving Christians worldwide for over 25 years! Join us in our other videos as we demonstrate even more features and functionality of the Puritan Hard Drive. For more information, visit us on the web at PuritanDownloads.com. This new SWRB Puritan Hard Drive video is available at http://www.puritandownloads.com/swrb-puritan-hard-drive0.html. Until then, be well and god bless! “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)

Say goodbye to that dusty chalkboard. Today’s students are comfortable with digital technology and adapting quickly to it in the classroom. In a recent study on tools that are changing the classrooms, Interactive White Boards ranked as one of the most useful tools to enhance learning. One teacher writes, ‘One year after having my interactive white board, I can definitely notice an increase in attention and participation levels for my high school students. The interactive whiteboards helps focus their attention on me and my lessons and helps keep them focused.”

So what is an interactive whiteboard? An interactive whiteboard is basically an interactive display that you connect to a computer. Boards generally use internal or external projectors to display the computer’s image onto the screen and allow users to control the computer by using a pointing device, pen, or finger. The board will display any type of program or learning software that is projected onto the screen and has a software application to capture notes that have been written on the interactive white board surface (which looks and feels like a traditional whiteboard. Interactive whiteboards allow users to save data and notes to easily prepare handouts or quickly email files to students. Some interactive whiteboards such as the Panasonic Panaboard even offer built in printers allowing users to print files directly from the board.

Although interactive whiteboards are being used in a variety of settings, they are becoming increasingly popular in a learning environment for various types of education including math, science, English, sports coaching and more. They are slowly replacing traditional systems of whiteboards, flip charts, and even portable A/V systems. Gone are the days up booking the traditional TV and DVD cart from the AV closet, simply run your media through the interactive whiteboard and use it as an oversized flat panel display. Additionally, with built in networking, students can collaborate on the board from individual laptops or desktops in the room.

Another popular reason to install an interactive whiteboard in the classroom is that is that there is an abundance of interactive whiteboard software to help teachers make the most of this investment. Popular programs are designed for Math, Science, Reading, Sports and more generalized lesson plans. By choosing a few simple programs, educators can quickly start teaching interactive lessons with little knowledge or training on the technology.

The key to making the most of your classroom interactive whiteboard is to understand it’s parts and functionalities. It doesn’t make sense to make the investment only to use it as a simple projector. Spend some time getting to know the board and scour the internet. Numerous websites and social networks exist specifically designed for educators to share tools, ideas, and resources.

For more information on how your classroom can benefit from interactive whiteboard technology, or to compare various types of boards, visit www.ishopit.com

Time. What would you do with one extra hour a day? Two? Three? How about a whole day? What if you never had to go to the office again, but could more efficiently work from the comfort of home. This isn’t just a daydream. It is an achievable goal in today’s Internet-based economy. All you need is a plan, and the will to follow it.

Never in modern history have there been more opportunities to work from home. But are you taking advantage of them? You could be doing any number of things to increase the amount of free time and disposable income you have. It may be as simple as asking your boss if you can work from home on Wednesdays, or you may want to create a business plan for an Internet venture. The important thing is to look at the Internet as more than just email and instant weather reports- the Internet can give you that most important of life’s commodities: Time.

While not all of us can consider telecommuting as a viable option, many can cut down on how often they need to physically be at work. Take teachers as one example. With the use of on-line lesson plan sites such as Web English Teacher you can do almost all of your planning from the comfort of your own living room. Need to get grading done? A variety of on-line grading tools are available which allow you to grade right from your own living room. Some sites, like Blackboard.com, even give you the ability to interact with students as they are doing their homework with instant chat and help files. If you think creatively, you’ll find many ways to work productively from home, effectively giving you more time.

However, the Internet revolution can give you much more than just a few more hours at home. It can provide you with substantial supplemental income and even the possibility of not needing to go to that 9-5 job ever again. The trick is finding something you are good at and developing it into a revenue stream. One of the most popular on-line businesses is the eBay store. Here you can create your own virtual retail operation. Or maybe you want to provide a service instead of selling. Are you a decent writer? People will pay up to $100.00 for a well-written resume. I speak from experience, as I have been doing this for over 7 years, and it has allowed my wife the opportunity to stay home with our young children. Here are just a few of the literally hundreds of potential revenue builders you could create:

Bookkeeping

Business support

Consulting

Desktop publishing

Medical claims

Security specialist

Seminar production

Transcription service

Virtual assistant business

So, what do you need to get started? A computer with Internet access and some basic skills; nothing more complicated than what you could find in one of those ever popular Dummies, or Idiot’s Guide books. Then just decide what you would like to do. Take a look on-line at sites such as homebusinessmag.com, hbwm.com and home-based-business-world.com or any number of other quality sites to get ideas and start making plans for your own financially secure future.

It is as easy as that. Start small. As with any business venture you need to give it time to grow. Don’t quit that day job, yet. But remember, never before has there been such opportunity in the marketplace. Don’t let it pass you by. You have more than just financial security to gain; you can also have more time.

With thousands of different programs, books and CD’s available, it is getting harder and harder to choose the most effective and easy method to teach your child preschool Spanish. Children are easily able to absorb materials when they are at a young age, so it is important to start teaching your child a different language as soon as possible.

In fact, studies have shown that if parents want their children to learn a foreign language, they need to start with lessons before they child has mastered English. When children are young, they are able to absorb information at a faster rate. That is why teaching them a foreign language before they can even read can be incredibly helpful.

If you are interested in teaching your child to be bilingual starting at a young age, there are many things to search for. First, you need to find a program that will be fun. Teaching children should not be boring. Children do not want to sit around and read words all day. This should not be a boot camp. Make sure to find a program that incorporates games and activities. When children enjoy learning, they are more apt to pay attention to the information.

Also, make sure to search for a preschool Spanish program that is easily accessible and cheap. There is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on a program, when it simply does not cost that much to teach a language to your children. There are many programs that do not cost much at all, but still supply valuable tools to the children. Cost should always be taken into consideration before selecting a program.

It is also important to select a program that teaches kids in a way that they are able to learn. When kids are young, they are still learning different things. Some programs incorporate that learning into teaching them another language. When preschool Spanish programs do that, it is much more effective. Kids can learn a lot of information if it is taught to them in a manner they can grasp.

It is also important that the parents are also able to grasp the lessons. Even if the parents are not bilingual, the lessons should be given in a way that parents who only speak English are still able to teach them.

The program should also be easily accessible. There are many programs that are offered online. When people pick an online program, they do not have to wait for things to come in the mail, and they do not have to go to the store to purchase other supplies. It is a much more cost effective way to learn. Also, materials can be transmitted directly to the user, so they can also get started sooner.

Our Spanish Lesson Plans Online offers all of these things to users. Their learning style is fun for kids and adults alike. Their preschool Spanish program is incredibly affordable. It teaches kids in a way that is easy for them to learn, and it is offered online. For more information, visit them online at http://www.ourspanishlessonplansonline.com.

Frequently asked questions about internship, volunteer and au pair program in Nepal
How long do the participant have to stay and where is the living palace?

There is not a fixed time that a participant has to stay in our village. It depends on the trainees how long they want to stay. During the stay of the trainees, our village youths organize everything for the participants. They do their bests to make your stay comfortable and easy. During your stay, you live together with any one of the village family who can speak English well. If you want to change the family during your stay, then it is also welcomed. If you are interested to live separately, that would also be possible. You can either eat with the family or you can cook yourself if you are interested to have a private living. All of these things depend totally on individual participants because we would like to respect the way how you like to spend your time.

What do the villager eat mostly? What kinds of food will I get during my stay in your village?

Mostly the villager take Vegetarian foods. During your stay, you will have breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, the living style of the village is very traditional. That is why they have their own time to eat and own type of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the breakfast, mostly people drink tea, breads which are made in a Nepali style. At lunch time, people eat rice , lentils and vegetables. At evening, they eat breads with butter and vegetables. They also drink milk, buttermilk and yoghurt if they have house animals like cows and buffaloes.

Do I have to pay money for the food and living room?

You do not have to pay money for the food that you get from the host family. However, if you want to eat some fruits which are not available in the house or if you want to cook something else which can not be provided by the host family, then you need to buy them yourself. The village youths will assist you in such things.

How long do I have to work if I come to you for an Au pair or internship program?

In Nepal, schools start at 10 a.m and the closing time is at 4 p.m daily except on Saturday. However, you do not need to stay in the school for the whole period of time. You can teach two to four hours a day and 3 to 5 days a week. It is up to you. Since, you will be new to Nepalese society, you need to learn the Nepalese life style first. That is why we do not want to make any pressure on you. You can decide yourself how long and how many days in a week you want to work. We want you to enjoy your time while you are with us in our village.

Is it difficult to work in a Nepalese village? How difficult is it for foreign au pair / trainee to adopt the Nepalese culture?

In our village, not many people can speak English. Only few people from old generation and the young generation can understand and speak English. In such a situation, one who has not been away from home before, may feel a bit loney at the begining. If you are not already familiar with any foreign culture, there is always a bit difficulty at the beginning to understand and to adopt a new culture and new living style. The villagers themselves from our village can not often travel around the world. That is why the villagers and the village children are always curious when a foreign au pair /trainee comes to our village. They will come around you to know about you. At such a situation, some may feel uneasy if they are not familier with asian culture. But you do not need to worry. Even if not all villagers can express all of their feelings to the trainee (because of language communication), they are very friendly and very welcoming.

Since our village is a bit far way from the capital and not many people in the village can speak English, we have cooperation with an English boarding school in Kathmandu which also organizes teaching internships. In the school in Kathmandu, only English is spoken and there won’t be any cultural and language problem. Just in case if the au pair/trainee can not stay for a long time in our village because of different culture, language or any other kind of other problems, then the au pair/ trainee can move any time from our village to Kathmandu and can complete her/his internship there.

Could a friend join me and go to Nepal at the same time too? Could she/he live in the same family?

YES, this is also possible and we recommend it if there are not any other au pair / trainee working in our village at the same time when you want to work here. This is just because if you want to do something on your own, then you can organize together with your friend and you are then independent from other’s help. We can assure you that we will do everything we can to make your stay comfortable. However, the au pairs /trainees sometimes want to be independent and spend time on their own way. At such a situation, it would be the best if you come together with your friend. If you come together with the other au pair /trainee, then you can live either with the same family or with a family who lives very close to you.

What is the closest airport to that village? And how would I get from that airport to the village?

There is only one international airport in Nepal which is in Kathmandu. All the international flights are only from and to the international airport in Kathmandu. The closest inland airport from our village is Dhangadi. Dhangadi is a city which is 170 km far way from our village. If you want to make a flight till Dhangadi, we will pick you up from the airport. In Dhangadi, we have organized a host family with whom you will be spending a couple of days in order to get to know the culture and some pre-information that you will need to have during your stay in a village. You will get a kind of small culture training so that it will be easier for you to live in the village.

If you want to fly till Kathmandu and then take a bus to our village, then you will be picked up from the international in Kathmandu. Our friends in Kathmandu will organize your stay in Kathmandu so that you can get to know the city and around Kathmandu. You visit the city as long as you want. After that you can take a bus to our village which will take nearly 16 hours. It costs not more than 10 euro /14 dollars to travel from Kathmandu to our village. If you hesitate to take the bus alone, then one of our friends will accompany you. At such a situation, he/she may ask you to pay his/her travel cost from Kathmandu to the village at least one way.

Since the village isn’t close to a bigger town, is there a doctor in case something happens?

The district hospital and doctors are located in Dadeldhura which is 30 km far way from our village. There are two hospitals where they also have 24 hours emergency service. Before you start your internship, we will organize your visit to a doctor so that you can get enough information about the precaution. The doctor will instruct you about the foods and things on which you must take care. For example, you should always drink mineral safety water or well-cooked water. In the beginning, it is difficult for a person, to adopt the water and one may get diarrhea soon if you do not take care of drinking water. The doctor will also subscribe you some basic medicines for example fever, headache, diarrhea etc which you can then buy in a drug store which is close to our village. Small illness like diarrhea will be recovered soon if you take the medicine. You can also bring such kind of such basic medicines with you. We recommend you to bring water de-infection tablets so that you can have safe drinking water.

What about the danger from all the different diseases I could get there? Could you please write about the possibility of getting diseases like Malaria and others?

There is no any danger of Malaria in Nepal. There was a problem of Malaria nearly 30-40 years ago. However, Malaria was eradicated many years ago. The possibility of getting any diseases (except diarrhoea) in our village is the same as when you are living in your own city. It would be rather safer because of the good weather and less pollution. However, you may be sick with diarrhoea soon if you do not take care of drinking water. You should always drink boiled water or mineral water. Mineral water can be bought at the nearest city. The villagers will assist you in bringing the water at your home. If you get sick with diarrhoea, then you should tell the host family as soon as possible, they will bring you some medicine (tablets) through which you can recover within the next one or two days.

I can imagine that there’s no internet in the village. Is there access nearby or not? How can my family communicate with me? Is there telephone access?

Yes, you are right. There is no internet access in our village. The closest internet café is in two cities namely Dadeldhura or Dipayal both of which are about 30 km far way from our village. If you need to check your email urgently, you can go there with bus any time. Otherwise, you can make a regular schedule of mail checking one or two times a week.

We do have telephone facility in the village now. If your parents call to any local telephone numbers of the village, they will inform you within half an hour and either you can call back to your family or they can also recall you after half an hour.

You can also buy a Nepalese mobile Sim card which you can use in the village. However, you have to be careful when you buy a Sim card. Not all networks have access in the village. Only telecom Sim card can be applicable. When you arrive in Nepal, we will help you to buy a proper Sim card.

” School children of the first class are sitting with their teachers.”

school children sitting in their class room.They want to learn a lot but the Nepal government has not provided enough teachers for the school. That is why sometimes, they have to learn without teachers. If you could teach them subjects like english, geography, mathematics and music, they would be very thankful to you.
