A Great Donation Opportunity
Jullay Everyone,
I hope packing is going well and you’re having a great week or so as we all get ready to meet for orientation!
I wanted to let you know about an opportunity that we have connected with our village homestay experience at Domkhar village in Ladakh.
While we are staying in our homestays, we’ll have a chance to visit and talk with students who attend the Domkhar Government High School (equivalent to public school here in the states). These students are studying between first and tenth class (grade) and are excited to share conversation with all of you.
In speaking with their teachers, they have asked us to bring some educational videos for the students, specifically science videos that focus on oceanography, geography, space exploration, and climate change. If you feel so inclined, I welcome you to pick up a video to bring along with us to donate to Domkhar High School’s library. As of last spring, the school had both DVD and VHS capabilities.
Thanks Y’all and see you very soon,
Tracy

That sounds great! I'd love to bring one. I'm only worried about DVD regions--do they have an American region player, or an Indian one?

Hi Natalie, I don't know the answer as to what DVD region would be best. My assumption is that region 5 (for Asia and Africa), or the "0" universal region would be best. I'm not sure if we can find that over here. Everything I have to donate is for region 1. Maybe we can find some videos in Delhi in addition to what we are able to bring from the states.
Thanks for asking this question! I wish I had a clearer answer.
