Educational possibilities for BFN

Yesterday Jeroen Gerard and I had another meeting at Jeroen’s place. This time we talked specifically about educational possibilities for the Bungamati Foundation Nepal. Based upon the annual report 2011 we reflected upon the past year and started to dig into possibilities for the future.

The four 'big' projects are:

• School Management Support Programme (SMSP);
• Children Education Support (Sponsorship) Programme (CESP);
• Early Childhood Development Centre Programme (ECDC);
• Volunteer Programme (Women empowerment is also a topic, very interesting).

Cooperation with Fontys University of Applied Sciences i.e. FPA (1. bachelor primary teacher education, 2. Pedagogical Management Child Care <PMK> and 3. Master Learning and Innovation <MLI> and Master in Leadership in Education <MLE>), FSH (sports, teacher physical education) and FLOT/FLOS (teacher secondary education) seem to be possible and might be within reach.
I will certainly try and work hard to get things going.

This upcoming week is a holiday week. I will take some time together with Gerard to work further on our ideas, together with Jeroen (he already gave some feedback) Sukha (by skype) and possibly also Gehini.

In short, another interesting week with preparations for our stay in Nepal… how exciting this all is…
Will deff keep you guys posted!
