Musical instruments and a sound system for a remote secondary school Ref: 244 Where is this project needed? Ilam, East Nepal, Who needs help with this? Adarsha Higher Secondary School, Ilam How will my support help? 1,928 students are currently studying at this school. Adarsha is the only government funded secondary school in Ilam, and in order to continue their education, many students have to walk from their village to the main town. The number of students has doubled in the last year, following recent political developments. With so many students, and very little money, the school lacks resources. The students and teachers organize different events throughout the school year, including plays, dancing, and concerts. These festivals are important for both celebrating local culture, and raising funds for the school. However, currently the school has to hire musical instruments and a sound system. This can be very expensive. Your support will help the school to raise much needed funds, and to continue to provide students with the opportunity of participating in cultural celebrations. Cost Breakdown All items are bought in Nepal; to reduce costs and to support the local economy. All costs are therefore given in Nepalese Rupees. JustAid is currently using an exchange rate of £1 = 120 Nepalese Rupees. This rate is slightly lower than the Banks because it allows for fluctuation in the rates Harmonium: 1 x 13,100 NRS =13100 NRS Madal (drum): 5 x 660 NRS =3300 NRS Guitar: 5 x 2000 NRS =12,100 NRS Congo (guitar): 1 x 1610 NRS=1610 NRS Keyboard: 1 x 8800 NRS=8800 NRS Sound System: 1 x 13100 NRS=13,100 NRS (amplifier, speaker, microphone) Project Implementation costs = 5720 NRS Local bank charges to receive funds = 385 NRS Local contribution = 11625 NRS Total Cost of Project = 44467 Nepalese Rupees Education is a fundamental human right.
