Over the last several months, Tejanath has been working with a website developer based in Kathmandu to establish a website featuring information about the Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal. The website is located here:

www.sankhuwasabha.com

For this task, we are looking for volunteers to provide editing support, and also volunteers to help Tejanath write content for the website. What type of information would be useful in terms of making the website a successful marketing tool?

Arun Valley Concern Center would like to support tourism efforts throughout the Sankhuwashbha district of Nepal and draw more tourists into the region. In order to help us establish a clear direction forward, we need a good project definition.

What do we want to offer in terms of support to existing tourism agencies?

What support can we offer to the local community to allow them to benefit from the tourists that come through the area?

For our project to move forward, we need to first define what resources and barriers exist in order to appropriately plan a way forward.

Tejanath has been working on an initial SWOT analysis for the project and will post it here as a place to start. Please review the proposed project and background information in our village and help us list items to complete the SWOT analysis.

Earlier this year, the digital camera that was used to visually document exciting news and progress being made at Arrow-Web Hospital was stolen when Bramuel was ambushed by a group of robbers on his way home from a conference. Since that time, he has not been able to replace it.

The women of Yoshinkhel are trying to build up a professional small business from their knitting skills...but they lack the necessary business skills and tools for setting up a business!

Can you help them by developing an online training or tools/files/software specific to their needs? Or would you even be willing to come to Yoshinkhel as volunteer? Or do you have experience you would like to share?

Though Sabina is a student of management and accounting, she knows the theory but still needs a practical handling system to work the small business effectively and efficiently.

Christopher is considering adding a page on a school website pertaining to orphaned children who are unable to pay their school fees. Notre Dame High School has many orphans. They have read about the program that was started in the Matopeni village and are considering trying to replicate it at their school.

As a long-term goal, Notre Dame High School would like to one day purchase a mini-bus. This would be used to transport children to school and also to workshops/seminars. At the present time, there are not finances available to do this.

For this task we would like to research alternative transportation solutions. Some of the children come to school from very far away. Some live nearby as well, but others have to walk between 2-5 miles to/from the school location. One of the options that has been mentioned in previous discussion is use of bicycles.

Alicia, a volunteer from the United States, is in Nepal for the next 6 months to work with Min. She has created a website located here:

For this task, we are looking for volunteers to help Alicia by writing content that can be transferred onto the website. She already has some thought starters listed.

If you have specific questions about the Education Concern Center to help you with this task, those can be posted here so we can provide necessary clarification.
