Working as a Volunteer

Being invloved in a true volunteering ,

Five of our classmates have started volunteering for the E-LIBRARY Project of Help Nepal Network, an umbrella organization to the network in 12 nations. The inspiration came when Shishir , Jwala ,Rajiv, Aayush and Kebina - the seniors had shared their experience on LTSP regarded to their first project at Dang. Shishir had a presentation on their Experiences and "LTSP Project and its implementations in NEpal".

So we talked to Help Nepal Network, of whose the E-Library project is. Bibek had assisted in the meeting. Last Saturday (24th March 2007), we had a meeting inside the Help Nepal Network Office at Chabahil. At the very meeting we , viz :

* Suraj sapkota
* Bibek Shrestha
* Dhruba Adhikari (Me)
* Jitendra Harlalka
* Manish Modi

During the meet, we met Rojendra Dai-an active volunteer of Help Nepal, Rama Dai and others...
And I must not forget Mr . Matthew from UNESCO who also had a plan to implement the LTSP server and client for the teachers training programme. I must say I had a dream to have that to us. But the risk and follow up factors made me together with all others think a bit more ...

After the completion we had made a tentative plan to set up the LTSP server and client at Suraj's Room , but the LOCUS final day came in between and we had to cancel the plan.
However, yesterday on 26th march 2007 we started with the setup test. We five, together with Subodh ,Vaskar and Yogesh were there.

The whole day, installing, deinstalling and reinstalling, all went on. I had taken my "MORPHINE" to Suraj's room . Suraj had made his PC the server and my morphine had been tried to make the thin client. Whole day,starting from 11 AM, went on vain , and I had to go to the TUITION (Students are having the exams so ...).. Unfortunately, I must say I missed the moment when the client booted , up to the GRAY WINDOW and A CROSS MARK of the mouse pointer.

Today, Shishir came to suraj's and to our surprise, just a change to the IP, worked all well, that we had expected to. I must say the 10 seconds booting of the Client.

After this great achievement, we had to reach Rojendra Dai's home for an informal meeting. We had reached there at around 6PM where we had a meeting of around 1 hour. At the meeting , we decided to work on the project and scheduling the project.

At the time we had returned, there was a dream of working as a professional ...

I am almost sure that we would go to BHAKTAPUR for the LTSP setup.
