Glad to see that Manisha has arrived safely after a gruelling 10 hour bus journey from Kathmandu, 5 hrs off road but great views from the roof!
First visit to Tamang Kharka for our newly appointed School and Community Health promotion Officer, Manisha
Manisha will spend half her time in school delivering Health Education lessons and half in the community where she will design, manage and promote health improvement programmes. She will also provide training to primary level teachers in the feeder schools.
Our School and Community Health promotion officer has now been appointed – Covid restrictions meant that the interview was held on zoom , some in Kathmandu some in Tamang Kharka and some in Yorkshire !
This is a joint project by Kasin, Green Tara Nepal and Tamang Kharka School. Kasin will be funding the salary and Green Tara are providing her training. Rotary Clubs of Skipton and Settle are also contributing with a District grant to help set up the project.
Skipton Rotary have organised a virtual duck race to raise money for KASIN and 3 other deserving charities. Great prizes available, a bit of Covid secure fun for some good causes!

Second lockdown hits Nepal as Covid outbreak deepens
The hostel students at the KTS Hostel can’t attend school but the older students do have some online classes and are also helping the juniors with their studies, including a bit of cooking.
We have just sent our half yearly contribution of £3000 to pay for the food at the hostel
Reports received from the schools in our sponsorship program
We have had 2 detailed reports one from Deonia school and the other from Moran School not far away in Maheshpur. We sponsor 51 students at Maheshpur ( mainly the children of the tea plantation workers ) and a further 33 at Deonia. The amount of sponsorship the children get is dependent on their family situation .
This has been a a very effective project for KASIN and the sponsorship has made a huge difference to the lives of these children.
Water Supply and new sanitary block at Tamang Kharka is now finished
The building for the After School Club is almost finished just 2 months after the foundations were dug – the local community are giving their labour for free!
