Today, we sadly said farewell to Manisha our Health Promotion Officer
She has been an absolute star over the last 2 years.
Manisha has made a huge difference to the community in Gumdi. She has investigated the reasons for children underperforming and dropping out of School, provided health education lessons, run health and dental camps, trained teachers to deliver health education and during Covid , gave Covid awareness sessions and provided much needed PPE. Many thanks Manisha, there couldn’t have been a better person for the job.
Moin, our teacher trainer, has been running sessions for teachers at Tamang Kharka and its primary feeder schools.

We have just opened 2 new After School Clubs
Following the success of our 4 existing After Schools , we have been asked by several communities to extend the project. This week we have opened our 5th and 6th After School , one at Dhandakharka, the school that KASIN provided the funds to rebuild after the earthquake, and another at Dansing
We have found that this is one of the most cost effective ways of promoting education and reducing dropout in these communities. It costs around £1,000/yr to provide 2 teachers, 6 days a week 2 or 3 hours a day. Children’s grades have hugely improved in the mainstream schools that they attend.

A great success story from our Health educator Manisha
If you have time, please read this lovely story from our Health Educator, Manisha! Stories like this reassure us that our efforts in Nepal are very worthwhile!
“Nine months ago, one student dropped out of school and was not interested in continuing classes. He was only 11 years old, and it’s too soon to drop out of school. Parents and teachers have done many things, like home visits, meetings with parents, and parent counseling.As nothing worked, parents were about to give up. One day, I and the teacher health promoter went to visit that house, met the parents, counseled them, and gave them different ideas to make him get to school. And now, after many months of silence, that boy is finally agreeing to continue his study. With only a little counseling, we have managed to make him want to study. We are very proud of that.I feel so happy!“
