AUTUMN 2020 QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER

INSTALLATION OF OUR CLEC @Kathmandu University COMPLETED!
By Edmond ANTOINE ​

​We've just completed our installation, and have adapted our Computer Learning Environment Center (C.L.E.C) with Kathmandu University School of Education in Nepal. Our next major step forward for AO is to now establish 7 C.L.E.C in remote areas of Nepal. Our program calls for 2 possibly 3 Centers in 2021. We already have 3 remote high schools and one remote college that will put an application through. Continuous congratulations to the AO US & Nepali team for making this happen!

​AO NEPAL is now in full swing!
by Prava Adhikari, Board Member AO US and AO NEPAL 
Few years ago, it was a dream but now Altruistic Odyssey in Nepal is a reality. As a  member of AO, I would like to share the success story of the registration of AO in Nepal. For more than 5 years, the Altruistic Odyssey team has been coordinating with the local community in the rural area of Nepal to help and improve the educational sector and other areas. AO has provided Nepalese people in rural areas with technological tools needed to improve the educational system. These remote areas are not very easy to reach. With the dedication and determination of our local community team, this has been a successful trip for years. Our dedicated local team now lead by Jhabindra Subedi, our Chairman, Pasang Sherpa, our treasurer, Pramila Bhandari our Secretary, Binod Tamang, Image and Communication, and Prakash Shrestha, our coordinator in Nepal work with us and takes care of most of the needs of these people who have no access to a modern education.
