Join us in supporting a noble cause as we present an exclusive auction featuring the stunning artwork of Allan Linder. This renowned artist has generously donated his pieces to benefit a charitable organization, which aims to construct a new school in Nepal. This year, Linder presents a captivating collection of nine paintings, showcasing the beauty of nature and the hustle and bustle of city life, that is sure to inspire and leave a lasting impact. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of Linder's work while supporting an important cause. See some of the images of the artwork below. Here is some previous work Linder has done for this organization.
The hall was packed with people, of all ages for this event. The silent auction was held in the evening to raise money for The Santi School.
Help Us Spread the Joy of Reading
Improve literacy for children in rural Nepal.
Discovering a new book is exciting for readers of all ages, especially children. In Nepal, however, children’s books are scarce, despite a rich oral tradition of rhymes, stories, and songs. Several publishers have begun to address the need, but teachers have no experience or training in how to read aloud to children as a learning activity.
Research shows that classroom read-aloud and independent reading are the most important predictors of future academic success for children. We want to improve literacy and spread the joy of reading to children in rural Nepal.
Together with our partner in Nepal, Kakshyalaya, we have developed a teacher training program to:
introduce teachers to Nepali children’s literature
train teachers in effective read-aloud techniques
help teachers introduce regular read-aloud times into their daily schedules
We have installed classroom libraries with:
books and bookshelves
tables and carpets for reading corners
policies to allow students to borrow books to take home
