Your Help Needed in Gamauli, Nepal

Krishna Primary School, a school for children ages 7-12 in a remote area of Nepal, needs your help.

RESEARCH-access to drinking water at the school

Step: 
2

The students at the school in Gamauli presently have no access to clean drinking water while at school. For this task, we are looking for volunteers to help research different options for making clean water available at the school on a sustainable basis. The "Water and Sanitation Group" here at Nabuur may be a good place to start.

RESEARCH-options for improving the toilet facilities at the school

Step: 
2

The present toilet facilities at the school are not sufficient. For this task, we are looking for volunteers to research different options for construction of toilets in developing countries to improve the overall sanitation issues around the school. Min will be hopefully able to take some pictures of the existing conditions on his upcoming trip to help better define the present situation as well.

Review Hospital Building Plans and a Establish Cost Estimate

Arrow-Web Hospital would like to eventually one day raise enough money to build their own hospital building. The local community has a plot of land they are willing to donate to have the building constructed. They have had plans drawn up of what they would like the building to look like.

For this task, we are looking for a person experienced in construction to review the attached building plans and work with Bramuel to establish a cost-estimate for the construction so that the local community and hospital managing committee can make plans for moving toward this goal in the future.
