While participating in the Western Tamang MTB-MLE awareness program, Kanchhi Maya Tamang (45), a mother from the Jharlang village, exclaimed: “Now my dream has become reality. That means my children have the opportunity to learn to read in their own language.” Maya Tamang went on to say that the MTB-MLE program will really help to promote the Tamang language and that the young children will benefit directly from the program. All the other participants supported her comments and agreed that their village school should adopt this approach.
