The Mountain Village That Stole Our Hearts
For my last work trip of 2017, I had the rather unusual task of leading a group of 9 Allstars (AirAsia staff) from 5 countries and a 5-member film crew up the Gorkha mountains of Nepal to a village called Olang. The trip was part of a two-and-a-half-year long ‘To Nepal with Love’ campaign that AirAsia Foundation has been running with an excellent organisation called Open Learning Exchange Nepal (OLE Nepal) since the 2015 earthquakes.

OLE Nepal's venture into open sourcing E-Paath(2-6)
OLE Nepal's pursuit of digitizing educational material up to grade 10 recently reached a major milestone as we completed the development of content for grade 8. Although this is quite the achievement, computer technology is such an ever-evolving field that the content developed for grade 2 to grade 6—using Flash—has become technologically outdated. Consequently, OLE Nepal, in our endeavor of improving education through computer science, decided to make our code base for grade 7-8, developed using HTML5, JS, and CSS, open source and involve students from various fields of computer science into our project to redevelop the content for grade 2-6.
