Month: August 2018

Janine is a professional photographer from Canada and greatly contributed as a photographer and English teacher in the Shree Shradha Women School. In Ganesh’s own words: “Janine is really a genuine volunteer girl”.

 

Janine did a great job in teaching the basics of the English language to our female students and was very kind and patient.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Janine also took amazing pictures of the students from Shree Shradha Women School! This is a group picture of grade IV.

 

 

Moreover, Janine’s pictures caught many great moments in our recent achievements and many great people that support our efforts for a better future for disadvantaged communities in Nepal.

Janine took this very nice picture of the recent computer donations to the Shree Mahendrodaya Secondary School made possible by our volunteer Sherie.

 

 

She also documented the great moment when the first batch of students from the Shre Shradha Women School passed the SEE in 2018.

 

In addition, Janine visited the Nepal Dwarfs Association and took pictures for their new website. She took beautiful pictures of the Nepal Dwarfs Association working committee members as well as general members.

This is a group  picture of the Nepal Dwarfs Association.

Mr. Nirmal, the president of the  Nepal Dwarfs association, is confident that these pictures taken by Janine will help to promote their website in support of the entire dwarf community of Nepal.

Many thanks to you, Janine, and your ability to see the beauty in people.

It’s our great pleasure today to tell you a little bit about our very special volunteer, Sherie from the USA.

Sherie had a big birthday coming up and instead of presents for herself, she had the great and very kind idea to ask her friends to bring items to donate to students or needy communities in Nepal. Her kind-hearted friends supported this vision by heart and helped her collect 11 laptops in total. Imagine what this means to us, 11 laptops!

Not only did Sherie spend all this time and effort at home, she personally brought the laptops to Kathmandu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of our local supporters, Pristine Nepal treks and Expeditions, coordinated a formal laptop handover ceremony to raise awareness for the kind donation and the work of Free Volunteering Nepal. A great success, as the ex-joint secretary of the Nepali Government, Mr. Deep Bdr Adhikari, joined the celebration.

Everyone was so excited to see “Mrs. Sherie” (as Ganesh kindly refers to her) hand over 10 computers to Mr. Kumar Nepali, Principal of Shree Mahendrodaya Secondry School in Dhading!

 

This large school’s computer lab has been destroyed by the 2015 earthquake and we could so far only help by repairing some old desktop computers, that remined of poor usefulness due to the very frequent power cuts in the region. The donated laptops will now enable regular computer lessons, that won’t be interrupted by power cuts, and will be extremely fruitful to teach practical computer knowledge to the students.

Mrs. Sherie seemed to have fulfilled a dream of hers when she helped these rural students gain access to ample opportunities by learning computer skill using these computers. This indeed is of great importance to the future of these students, as the tourist sector and office work are the main independent job sources in Nepal, but our rural kids often cannot compete for these jobs with kids from urban regions that have access to better schools and computer training.

 

Mrs. Sanumati Rai (President) and Mrs. Anjana Shrestha (Principal) of the Shree Shradha Women Alternative School in Nagarjun Municipality near Kathmandu were very excited to receive one more laptop donated by Sherie.

 

 

The students are very happy about this single laptop, which will transform their computer lessons: Now the computer teacher is able to demonstrate the use of a computer and to teach practical skills. Before, the lessons were entirely based on school books containing pictures of screenshots. The school management has expressed their great hope in that the donated laptop will finally enable the women to learn and even apply basic computer knowledge, which will provide them a significant advantage for finding future employment

After Sherie handed over all the laptops herself, she then volunteered in the Shree Shradha Women Alternative’s School, Nagarjun, Municipality of Kathmandu as an English Teacher.

You can see how much Sherie loved to teach and how much the students enjoyed listening to her native tones when she taught pronunciation of English words.

 

 

Sherie, we could not be more thankful to you. Your kind help will never be forgotten.

 

Our Volunteers Ninad and Ranaji visited the Orphanage Home (HECAC) in the Tarakeswor Municipality, Kathmandu, Nepal.

They gave classes for kids with the objectives of teaching basic knowledge about computers, email and the Internet. The kids in the orphanage home truly enjoyed this treat and the time that was invested in their education.

Ninad and Ranaji also played with the kids and took pictures of joyfully jumping kids. Ninad and Ranaji, we thank you for your kindness!

We were very happy to have Michael, Andreas, and Laurenz as well as their friend Julian volunteer for another project after the hard construction work.

Clearly, they are not prone to give up easily! The four volunteered to teach English at the Shree Mahendrodayo High School in the Tripurasundari Rural Municipality-Mulpani in Dhading (Nepal).

We were excited to see how they dedicated much effort to improve the confidence of our students in their own abilities to speak and write in English.

Moreover, Michael, Andreas, Laurenz, and Julian were not afraid to also encourage the teachers to share ideas with each other and discuss ways to improving teaching skill.

Michael, Andreas, Laurenz, and Julian, we thank you all kindly for your help and your efforts you have made to take your skills to the rural region of Nepal to teach children English!

Sara from the UK, and Camilla and Ida from Denmark volunteered as English teachers at the “Shree Shraddha Women School” in Thulobharyang, Kathmandu (Nepal) in April 2018. They encouraged disadvantaged and poor women, who were deprived of formal education for the longest time.

Our kind volunteers did a fantastic job in inspiring the women students to uplift their education in order to build a career, which still is a long and hard path under the current circumstances. It was a valuable experience and gave confidence to our students, when they experienced this kind support from other independent, educated women. The female students were very happy to learn basic English words, pronunciation and sentences with the volunteers.

 

Sara, Camilla, and Ida, we are very thankful to you, for your kind contribution and the encouragement you provided.
