Next month [November] Peter & Maureen [Chairperson & Treasurer for IGWR Inc.] will visit* our project in Kathmandu and together with Raja [Director for IGWR Nepal] we’re planning to take the NEXT BIG STEP for the School+Plus program.
Having had a success with the program outcomes we’re now ready to establish the program in new premises (rather than in one of the IGWR houses) and hire a full compliment of staff; this will also set the scene to establish a second program hopefully in the 2020-21 budget year.\
Our expenses for the 2018-19 budget year amounted to nearly $18,500 and that has been covered through the Global Giving project, so the question we shall be discussing in November is can we now commit to a new budget that is nearly double that amount?
Proposed Budget
Premises Lease 4000
SPP Manager [full time] 7000
3 X Part Time Instructor 7200
3 X assistants 3600
Cook/Housekeeper 1200
Stationary/Art supplies 2500
Food (Daily Meals) 3500
Furniture/Maintenance 2000
Medical/health programs 1500
Training & Program development 1500
Total 34000
Following our November visit the budget will be finalised as we establish location, staff and any other variable costs.
With the introduction of a full-time program manager we can also begin the process of full documentation so that the School+Plus program can be ‘packaged’ for implementation at other centres.The manager will also have responsibility for communicating with our program supporters and extending that base to gain the additional finances required for the program.
We have hada number of visitorsand all of them enjoy participating in the School+Plus program.
A group of Australian Medical Students, a group of students from New Zealand and two lots of volunteers from Australia have all led School+Plus activities, and each has brought something special to the Children, and all have received much joy in return.
A great example of the creativity that illustrates the School+Plus program is a promotional video produced and directed by IGWR senior students who all assist in the program.
The one minute video can be seen on our YouTube Channelat the following link;
Thank you- to all who support this program and who share with us in making a real difference in the lives of the children in Nepal.
IGWR [In Giving We Receive] is run by a team of volunteers and 99.52% of all monies donated goes directly to the operations of IGWR-Nepal
* Note: Our visits to Nepal are all self-funded; every dollar donated to the program goes into the program, as those who administer the program funding and oversight are all volunteers.
