Video Captures OLE’s Work in Nepal
Watch new opportunities for learning unfold for 9-year-old Bimala and her classmates in Nepal, captured in a short documentary, The OLE Nepal Story. Poor Nepali schoolchildren “have this hunger for knowledge and all that is really stopping them is the lack of opportunity,” says OLE Nepal Executive Director Rabi Karmacharya.
The video illustrates OLE Nepal’s progress in providing that opportunity. It follows OLE Nepal’s work designing digital Nepali learning activities, delivering them to schools on low-cost laptops, and training teachers to improve basic education in some of the world’s most remote schools. Also featured are collaborations with such powerful partners as the World Food Programme and the government of Nepal.
The OLE Nepal Story is emblematic of the work of OLE’s global network in a growing number of developing countries. As OLE Founder Richard Rowe puts it: “There are roughly 1 billion children in the world today who are not getting a decent basic education. So we began to create a network of nation-based organizations that are committed to using technology and using the energy that they find within that country to really make a difference to all children.”
