We want to take a moment to thank you all for your pouring love and support for the people of Nepal. Our team is working to mobilize all possible resources to the vulnerable people of rural Nepal who are battling the pandemic on the ground.
Our friend Sang Po who is great ambassador of France (Vajra Yogini) worked very hard to support Nepal in this crisis. We would like to thank Mr. Sebastian for his consideration and belief in our work. We distributed ration and hygiene kits to more than 200 families in Rorang, Dhading. Covid-19 response continues on full speed.
In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, there is another impending and devastating loss in education of Nepal. The expansion of Covid-19 left many children out of school whereas marginalized children suffered the heaviest burden.
We are proud to announce that, among the school of 250 students we have delivered one year scholarship package to 20 students in need. Many families of this school are vulnerable for whom it is a struggle even to make the ends meet. Our sponsorship program gives children the opportunity to learn and explore their talents. Through this program the students will receive basic necessities for education- books, school uniforms, tuition fees and also financial and moral support throughout the year.
The torrential rain continued this month causing massive floods and several landslides in 40 districts throughout the country, of which Terai and Hills are severely affected. Difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions and damaged infrastructure (roads and bridges) are current realities in the field in Nepal. Despite having problems in getting access to the affected communities due to flood, AAROH volunteers were able render relief service.
Bajura is a mountainous terrain. Difficult topography and lack of physical infrastructure present a major challenge to accessibility and service. The reopening of school may be a delight as well as hard-won luxury for the students of Masteshwori. After need recognition, there was urgency to facilitate the classroom environment because the students were freezing over the bare concrete classroom. Despite all of this, we found out that most of the students were not able to pay tuition fees and afford public transportation. When poverty hits the hardest, it is obvious that 100% of these students come from a background where ends meet is difficult.
We mounted carpets and mattresses along with 95 cushions in 6 class-rooms so that each student can restfully learn and beat the cold. We repaired the monitors of each class-rooms along with some multimedia tools. We provided some stationaries so that students could enjoy their winter vacation.
On this Valentine’s day, 110 kids of Dhading were nominated for the sponsorship program. 110 kids received one year educational support in uniform, shoes , tuition fees, admission fees and books. The program ended with celebration, refreshments and lots of activities.
We are so proud to launch our project “Golden Future” in this school. We will focus on outdoor and indoor school environment.
During the phase one we focused on providing uniforms, stationaries, developing curriculum, extracurricular activities and lot more. More needs to be done in this school. While this is just our first step in the school, in the second phase we will focus on creating child friendly environment (construction, scholarships).
Sharing your time with those who need it most on the other side of the world is one of the most rewarding experiences you can ever take part in. Thank you dear Sang Po for sparking our kids and community lives. Your teachings will always be praised.
Imagine doing something today. Helping to change the lives of children in need in many ways. There are lots of ways you can make a difference.
Nutrition helps learning. No #child should go without food. We have stepped up provision for nutritious food in some schools. A Supermeal !
“Shree Gyanodaya Basic School”
Celebrating one decade of this glorious journey. Sometimes the least we can do brings about a rippling effect in someone’s life. The feeling of being part of a child’s education and learning process is simply overwhelming.
Our mission is to ensure that every child is prepared to learn & succeed in the classroom by providing school supplies to kids most in need. With the very enthusiasm Miss Barbara Matheis, Germany distributed package of food, stationaries and school bags to 110 students. Thank you Miss Barbara for sparking our kids and community lives.
