Supplies for Giyjan
At Village Supplies our aim is to improve the quality of education for Village children in Nepal.

Our first project was a terrific success!!
In January 2017, we sent 105 Pencil Cases of Supplies to Giyjan.
We received so many donations of pencil cases, that we managed to send another 220 Pencil Cases to schools in a remote Everest region.
Our second project is to raise funds for sports equipment to send to students in Giyjan, and the other schools we have helped before in the Everest region (Garma and Chheskam).
Through our Volleyball for the Village fundraising event, and some generous donations, we have purchased volleyballs, soccer balls, play balls and skipping ropes to send over this year.
Our second year of pencil case donations is just getting underway - so get on board and help a child in Nepal have a great day at school!
Village schools all across Nepal were severely impacted by the 2015 Earthquakes, many school buildings being totally
destroyed or seriously damaged.
In Giyjan, the rebuilding process has begun, and classes are happening,
but there is such a long way to go.
In Giyjan, students use text books that are passed down through families
or shared between students, and they have basic notebooks for
completing written work.
When I was there in January 2016, students had small pencil cases or pencil boxes
containing a pen and pencil, and sometimes a ruler. In a class of about 25 students there
were three who had a pair of scissors.
You can help Giyjan, and other schools in Nepal, by putting together a pencil case of basic school supplies which I will
send to Nepal and deliver to the students of Giyjan.
