1. SEEKING MATERIALS ON CHILD LABOUR, CHILD RIGHT TO EDUCATION, CHILDREN
AND CHILDHOOD STUDIES (NEPAL)

Dear Colleagues,

I am working at the Curriculum Development Centre of Nepal. Working as a
curriculum officer I have to fulfill my great responsibilities of
developing, designing, preparing school level curricula and curricular
materials. We are going to integrate human rights, child rights, women
rights and the contents to combat child labour into the school level
curricula and thus we need to develop textbooks, training manuals, and
resource materials for students, teachers, trainers and educational
managers accordingly. However, lack of literatures, I felt several
difficulties. I knew that ILO is the pioneer one in the area of child
labour, child right to education, children and childhood studies and also
have published numbers of literatures, books, research reports, manuals
nationally and internationally. etc.

If your institution has a policy of supporting the institution like us
through supplying your materials with free of cost, I would like to
request you to send them. The supplied material would help us
significantly in order to explore the curricular contents. For your
perusal, I have given the following mailing address as well:

2. SEEKING PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIP (ZIMBABWE)

Dear colleagues,

I am a DRC national aged 33 who has been living in Zimbabwe as a refugee
since November 2003 and who is committed to being a positive force for the
continent and my home country in the future.

I've persevered to improve my education and in my endeavor to give myself
a suitable qualification and a proper higher educational qualification
that will enable me fulfill my goal, I've finally come across someone who
has offered to cover tuition and fee worth Pound 8.500 per year for the
four years of my degree.

I've been accepted at the Middlesex University in the faculty of law for
the academic year 2006/2007 that is scheduled to start in September 2006
and need to raise funds to cover my room and board expenses amounting to
about Pound 3.500 per year.

It's within this context that I am writing to appeal to you to assist me
reach my educational aspiration and achieve my dream.

With my anticipated grateful thanks for your understanding and
cooperation,

Yours Faithfully,

Ntumba Kapinga
