We are always asked if we can open more After School Clubs, we have just opened another 2 !! One in Ganga Jamuna and the other in Dhadakharka. We now have 6 in all.

Our 6 After School Clubs have continued to be a great success, Exam results and children’s behaviour have shown huge improvement and school dropout rates reduced. A really cost effective way of improving Education. £1,000 provides the salaries of 2 teachers, 6 days a week for a year.

Today is ‘International Dignified Menstruation Day’

and Mamata our Health Educator presented a lesson about menstruation and menstrual hygiene to a large group of both boys and girls at Shree Mandali School.Well done Mamata, a real breakthrough way up there in Phulkharka.

She has already participated in a programme against gender based violence and made arrangements to visit Shree Mandali School tomorrow to assess their needs! We are delighted that Mamata has settled in so well and wish her the very best of luck in her new role!

We have just appointed a young public health graduate Mamata Lama, who will be working in the adjacent wards of Ganga Jamuna over the next 2 years.

Each year they select a different charity to support and this year it has been KASIN. The money is raised selling handmade cards and gifts and this year they have raised £2,000 which will pay for most of the salaries of 2 primary school teachers at Kumbeshwar Technical School.

They have raised over £1,000. This is enough to fund the annual salaries of 2 teachers for one of our After School Clubs.

He has been working for us a a teacher trainer during the last year. There have been many challenges in this remote region of Dhading Province but Moin has left a lasting legacy.
