Food and the orphanage Bal Mandir

,

One family in Bolzano donated 270 euro in order to buy food for the Orphanage Bal Mandir. A member of Pro Nepal has bought 12 sacks with 25 kg rice (300 kg), 25 kg yellow lentils, 25 kg green lentils, 25 kg sugar, 2 kg tea and 10 l oil (total amount: 270 euro).

Food has been bought in his presence and hauled to Bal Mandir, where the Director got it, emitted a standard receipt and wrote a thanksgiving letter, which has already been sent to the family who made the donation.

State of the orphanage:

The earthquakes in 2015 have seriously damaged the Institute which risks crumbling, therefore the total amount to rebuild it would be very high. At the moment almost 80 children are living in temporary buildings, whereas others have moved to different Institutes.

Before the earthquake 200-300 children were hosted in the Orphanage Bal Mandir in Kathmandu.

Schools are the way to a better future

,

On her recent trip to Nepal, trekking guide Buddhi Maya Sherpa, from Nepal herself, and very well-known in South Tyrol, visited the schools in the villages of Dhobi and Nagi in the remote district of Ramechap, both having been badly hit by the earthquake.

There, with our support, she distributed over 500 schoolbags and 500 schoolbooks to the children.

As no help has come from the government in nearly two years, the remaining donation money has been used to provide temporary shelters for the students so that they can continue their lessons. Our next step is the reconstruction of one of these schools.

Drinking water supply in Jamune – the works starts

, ,

Even before the earthquake in April 2015, the construction of this drinking water pipeline of Jamune should  start.  The earthquake  shifted all the prorities; the population of the severely affected village of Jamune was unable to begin the construction of the water pipeline after the earthquake.

After a revision of the project, which was necessary due to the effects of the quake, our partner organization sent us  the first pictures from Jamune, which show that the work is now going on quickly. The population of Jamune waited for a long time and worked hard for this vital infrastructure.
