Volunteer program is one of OLE Nepal’s key aspects of the laptop program in Bajhang. The program gives young graduates an opportunity to spend three months in school communities to provide assistance in project implementation and school support. As a facilitator they get unique opportunity to learn about the application of technology to enhance primary education while gaining invaluable insights to the challenges faced by schools in remote areas.

This program has emerged to fill the need for a hands-on assistance to teachers and schools in using technology effectively in classroom teaching-learning process and to facilitate students and teachers to utilize the resources made available through the project, once the program is introduced in the schools.

This time, we have eight young and energetic volunteers who were selected from a pool of numerous candidates. These applicants came from different social and educational backgrounds. Most of the applicants hold bachelor’s degree in social work and had prior experience of social services in their communities. This diverse group of volunteers are very excited to contribute towards providing access to quality education among students of Bajhang.
