The reason why we, International students, were gathered at is to create opportunity for children to contact with other worlds and to motivate local teachers.

While local employees are sleeping, children who are left play something. Moreover, the foundation follow the local monastery's systems. Hence, even if they can carry out the basement knowledge such as literacy by traditional education, their education has still not yet reached the learning to establish the way of thinking and concrete identity to live in the globalized world.

Project leader told us about current difficulty surrounding here. Situation seemed to be "landing around" or "cat-and-mouse game".

The facilities cannot be said to be enough such as unsatisfactory water supply and sewage systems, building with gap wind, unhygienic toilets, and so on. The village borrows electricity from other cities and cannot even turn on without permission. Many electronic devices such as personal computers are provided by the Foundation.

He also said to me, "Despite the project of removing the garbages mountain from a certain village and efforts to sweeping all of them by taking one year, garbages mountains were restored while he got back to his home countries in half year." Similarly, in other areas, I often hear about problems such as "Local people cannot sustain hygienic conditions even if a toilet is provided by developed countries and NGO because of less education and consciousness."

In order to maintain this facility, They need more than 4000 dollars per each month. Nevertheless, such foundation, based on donations, would continue to manage it regardlessly whether the local staff work or not. Their challenge is not only to provide these projects but also to sustain them.
