Shree Bashuki Lower Secondary School
Bashuki school has grades 1-8 and roughly 320 total students. It is located roughly 30 km east of Kathmandu at the top of a very steep ridge. Most of the teachers walk over an hour to reach the school. It is a poor school and most of children belong to the Tamang indigenous group, one of the historically disadvantaged groups in Nepal. We will pilot OLPC in grades 2 and 6 at this school.
I will note down the details of this pilot school as they happen. Bryan Berry 08:42, 7 March 2008 (EST)

Planning
Network
We have a full-time volunteer in charge of the network, Mr. Dev Mohanty. There is simply too much work to be done for someone to do this on a full-time basis.
We are using Point-to-Point 802.11g radios to provide Internet access to the school. We will put the Point-to-Point radio for Bashuki School either at the adjacent Military Post or on a tree situated on a high hilltop. The radio located near Bashuki will connect to a radio multi-point radio located at the Department of Education, 8 km east of the school and in direct line of sight.
