Our reading promotion program in the villages
The reading promotion program was conducted in the 6 surrounding villages of Khoramukh by our team member Sushil in collaboration with the community leader Rajendra.
Through personal conversations, motivating community meetings, engaging presentations, and informative flyers, the following topics were covered:
- General information about our project
- Why is reading so important?
- What can one gain from it?
- What can education do for your life?
- What can you find in a library?
- How to handle books?
The community’s greatest interests
The villagers listened attentively and did not hesitate to ask questions or share their ideas. At the same time, we gathered the community’s interests. What topics are they interested in? What would they like to learn more about and read? It was significant for us to learn that the three most commonly shared interests are Nepali law, religious Hindu texts, and children’s books. Based on this feedback, we will collect books to ensure that the library’s collection aligns with the community’s interests.
Why reading is so important
With our reading promotion program, we aim to improve the reading skills of both children and adults and instill a love for reading. Reading is not only a crucial part of education but also a key to personal development and growth. It broadens horizons, fosters creativity, and enhances language skills.
Because we believe that everyone has the potential to realize their dreams with the right support.
We look forward to tracking the progress of the residents after the library opens at the end of the year and are excited that we can all contribute to promoting reading and improving educational opportunities in Nepal.
