These are excellent.

(The video resolution on YouTube is poor because of a combination of,
well, YouTube and the lack of bandwidth in Nepal for me to upload
anything better.  The videos we'll use are obviously better-looking
than these.)

It's not just "this program" :)  It's page 49 of the class 3 English
textbook by the government :)  Hopefully, it's the same textbook you
use in your village school.

We have to start in the middle of the book because we don't want our
filming to disturb ongoing classes of the school where we do the
filming.  We will "wrap around" and do the beginning half of the
textbook later.  This is the same trick that we do in Lucknow.

Hi Wangchho,

One thing you perhaps could do is this.  Take a couple videos that we
have shot and show them to your village school teachers and children
on your laptop.  Tell us what they think.

The laptop will not be a good way of showing it for real: the sound
will be too low, the screen is too small and too dim, but it should be
ok as a way of temporarily showing the videos informally to teachers
and kids.  We will use real bigger devices later.

I have only one video with me on my own computer.  There are five more
at Rani's school.  You can come to me to take the one I have.  If you
want more, we have to go to Rani's school to take the remaining
videos.

To take the videos formally to your village, we will wait a while.  I
want us to have a bigger number of videos.  And we should have stuff
like tests ready to go with them.  I'm leaving Nepal and heading to
China on Wednesday.  We will go to your village on a later trip.

Cheers,
Randy
