Potatoes on the road …
.. 400 km, some days on the back of donkeys these organically grown seed potatoes were brought to Samagaun Gorkha, in the west of Nepal. Here the climate is similar to Solukhumbu and there is also a lot of enthusiasm for organically grown produce. It is especially great when women in Solu now send their seed potatoes to women in Gorkha to support organic farming there. We wish good thriving and are happy. Many thanks to the Sagarmatha Milijuli Mahila Cooperative for the good work and Fair Styria as well as Land Vorarlberg for supporting the projects in Chyangsar and Ghunsa. Special thanks also to the cooperation partners in Gorkha…

The work on the model farm…
… in Chyangsar is becoming more and more professional. Accurate accounting of the different varieties as well as their yields, own seeds and labeling until the harvest, bring joy to learning. Thus, local chilies are compared with those brought by Carola Gosch – we are curious to see who will win the race. It is important to know that chili is one of the staple foods in Nepal and is used for almost every dish. Many thanks to Fair Styria for the great support, which is essential for the operation of the farm.

Especially important …
… for the girls from Chyangsar, Ghunsa and Merangding is of course the distribution of gifts. All children in the world are the same. This year, in addition to the necessary materials for school, they also wanted hair oil and soap for the older girls and coloring books with pencils for the little ones. It is important for them to receive these items personally. Those who were unable to attend were even “represented” by their grandmothers so that the gift would arrive. 😊 Many thanks to our loyal sponsors who make this possible for the girls.

For the first time …
… the girls from Chyangsar, Ghunsa and Mergangding prepared a joint program with dance performances. The speech was prepared in English, a big step for the girls. They learn English grammar and vocabulary in school, but are very shy to speak. Many thanks to our sponsors who support the girls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGwu9PK4jQI

A personal…
.. Welcome by each individual woman is mandatory 😊. The cooperative in Chyangsar was very happy about the visit of Carola Gosch. Not only the successes were appreciated, but also some upcoming challenges were discussed intensively. Afterwards, as always, there were small gifts for everyone (hair oil and rose soap), a small luxury. Many thanks to Fair Styria, who have been supporting this project for so long now.
