YESS welcomes our reader to get involved actively. There are several ways we can think of to be a part of this project but we are sure that there are more you can come from your side than we know. So please do not limit your possibilities to support us. This project can only achieve its success in the company of our supporters and that is you.
We are fully aware that the whole idea of importing a first-class quality education is not possible without your support.
Few of the many ways you can get involved are following:
Sponsor a child:
This has always been one of the best ways as it is a direct charity which makes know of whom you are supporting and experience a real contribution to witness somebody becomes a different person. Please contact to Gopal Lama, the founder of Yangrima School at gonepal@aol.com for detail help as he is still the coordinator to Yangrima Sponorship program.
As yet, we are unable to open you with list of students who need sponsorship but please do contact us if you are interested.
Contributing for teacher/s salary:
Now, this is the linchpin of everything we are dreaming of . Hiring a good teacher required to deliver quality education is not so easy task. On top of an organization for it, what matters most is the salary. Since Yangrima will be run on a community model, there are only so much support available from the local government and whatever nominal fee the School might collect from students will be impossible to cover the salary of teachers.
Well, this is problem everywhere but the difference is serious here.
Our supporter, www.mondochallenge.org and www.mondochallengefoundation.org in the UK has already assured us of potential support on this score so it might be a great idea to contact them directly to organize if any support on this way is coming to us. A plus point is that the charity, MondoChallenge Foundation, is run by our long term supporter, Anthony Lunch and Trustees, and they have a lot of experience in doing this kind of thing all over the world, including just across the border in nearby Darjeeling/Kalimpong with our ex Headteachers, Jiwan and Santa Rai!
Supporting for physical maintenance of the School:
The better the infrastructure is, the higher the quality is. Remaining in closure for these many years, the infrastructure of the School has collapsed badly. The building blocks have cracked down, roofs have been taken away or decayed, furniture were all destroyed, windows are smashed down, the area has been overgrown, the hostel and kitchen buildings needs complete maintenance, water pipeline needs to be reinstalled, playgrounds need to be leveled and the list goes on.
Our foremost challenge is go through the complete capital investment to put the physical facilities back in order. And of course, the next steps would be to establish all the playing grounds, set up library, laboratory etc.
Therefore, here is some serious part to really support the School regain its earlier position. As we go past these basic infrastructures, obviously there are many ways we can add the facility and make it spacious for expanded activities for wholesome development of students..
Be a volunteer:
Since YESS will be actively engaged in running Yangrima School; there will be several placements for volunteers. We will have developed connections with local schools with the aim of providing the necessary and available support to help them upgrade their standard of education. So, one can also have the equally enriching experience of volunteering outside Yangrima School. Please let us know should you have any queries, or you can be better informed by our partner organization Mondochallenge at
info@mondochallenge.org who has several years of rich experience in organizing such opportunity who had benefited Yangrima School in this line tremendously.

We know the above points do not do much justice in addressing all your possibilities to support us but we re-emphasis that you are already a part of our movement to get Yangrima School fly high educationally, therefore, please feel free to talk to us at yangrima@yess.org.np or yessnepal@hotmail.com

Thank you so much!
