Everything…
… from the training sessions for the use of compost toilets is now being put into practice. One is also being built on the model farm to demonstrate everything. The material is distributed and the families will now finalise their compost toilets. We are happy that compost can be produced for the gardens. Many thanks to Fair Styria for supporting this sustainable initiative.

The girls…
… are strengthened through joint activities. It is important to strengthen their self-esteem and self-confidence in order to protect them from assault. They have a lot of fun identifying their strengths and can talk about sensitive issues. Many thanks to our patrons who make this empowerment possible.

In front of the curtain …
… we would like to call on our farm supervisor Jaya Laxmi Magar 🙂 today. Since she has been running the farm, we can see what has already been learned and what is possible. The pre-breeding in the greenhouse has worked out great and already in June she can proudly sell the harvest. External customers still have little chance, the vegetables go to friends of the farm who are only too happy to buy them. We thank Jaya Laxmi Magar for her great work. Many thanks also to all those who have supported the establishment of the model farm in Chyangsar over the past years and ensure its ongoing operation.…

Fun in the garden …
… has many functions for the girls in the children’s home. They enjoy it very much and it is also good for them to grow their own vegetables. There is something healing and relaxing about gardening, and it can also be fun 🙂 . Knowing what is on the table we have produced ourselves makes them and us proud. Many thanks to our patrons, some of whom have been supporting the girls for many years.

Insects …
… as beneficial insects or pests are also part of the Farmers Field School. The women exchange their experiences, learn interesting facts about them and finally “experimental plants” with the insects in the “net” are also planted for study purposes. We are already very curious to see what can be observed here. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for making this form of learning possible for the women.

Putting into practice …
… the women are allowed to put everything they learn at the Farmers Field School into practice in their private greenhouses and fields. Our experts accompany them and discuss specific challenges. Twice a month they are on the road to visit other women. The Farmers Field School in the four villages was made possible by the support of the Schöck Family Foundation. Many thanks for this.

Great joy …
… is the excursion to Lumbini for the children from the home in Pokhara. They don’t know holidays in that sense, but religious places have a great meaning for them. Going there together is a great experience and we are happy for them. Many thanks to our sponsors who make this possible.

Farmers field school ..
…is the name of the in-depth programme with which we accompany a selected group of women – here in Chyangsar – throughout the year, in addition to the certification. The aim is to consolidate what has been learnt and to work directly on ongoing challenges. We are proud of the women who give their best to learn a lot. Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting this programme in all four villages.

What happens next …
… with our girls when they have completed grade 12? Together we discuss, explain and weigh the possibilities. We hope that we will be able to find and finance a good further education for at least some of the girls. Many thanks to all the sponsors who make this possible and we hope that some more will join us.

The wood …
… in Chyangsar also needs care. All wooden parts of the training hall were impregnated with a good oil so that they will last for a long time. We are happy how beautiful it has become and thank our supporters.
