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.

Adventurous …
… is always the journey to Solukhumbu, to the villages. This time it was about 11 hours for 220 km!  The bridges are under construction for 7 years, the landslides keep spilling parts of the roads and this year we also had to grind the brakes and install a headrest on the way there. On the way is @Hasera, our permaculture partner – a bright spot on the trip. Good food and a beautiful, inspiring environment. Thanks for that 😊

Nepali people drink …
… from the bottles without touching them. Carola Gosch has tried it under loving guidance and much laughter with the women in the training center of Opportunity Village Nepal, the result … https://youtu.be/y03Fk0VSKj4

With twine …
… you can not only sew, but also remove eyebrows (not completely painless). In our mentoring program in Pokhara some girls are trained as beauticians. They can then open their own small business- and thus stand on their own two feet to support themselves and often their children as well. Carola Gosch has tested it herself, a sign of confidence for the women. https://youtu.be/h3tZAnvkfLc

Great results …
… Carola Gosch could see on site in Pokhara. For several years Opportunity Village Nepal has been training young women from vulnerable situations. The goal is to find a job themselves or even to start their own business. Together the results and the challenges were discussed and afterwards some stores were visited. The young women learned a lot and are grateful for the self-employment they achieved. Many thanks to all who support us in this important work.

The girls …
… in the children’s home of @Oportunity village Nepal were very happy about the visit of Carola Gosch. It is nice to see how the little girls become young women. They now have confidence in themselves and could communicate with the visitors in English. Many questions were asked and the girls proudly showed their garden.  The greenhouse and thus the supply of vegetables was a great advantage especially in lockdown times. Of course, gifts were also distributed to all. Thereupon, at the end of the visit Carola Gosch awaited a real surprise – pancakes with jam 😊 Many thanks to all the sponsors who open up new opportunities for these…

The women in Merangding …
… can hardly wait to apply the knowledge gained from the first training sessions and what they have seen in the other villages at home. The material can be brought as far as the street, where it is divided up and collected by the women. They then walk up to two hours with it to their houses, happy about the important tools and their new task. Many thanks especially to Fair Styria, which thus extends the success of Chyangsar to another village.

The work in Kunikhop..
… on the model farm has now begun in a flash. The experience of the other villages is very supportive here. The stations for the preparation of the plants were set up perfectly and the seeds from the project were sown immediately. The women brought wood from home, with which the beds in the greenhouse were lovingly constructed. The joy of everyone is great. This was made possible above all by the support of the Schöck Familienstiftung.

Here we go …
… also in Kunikhop. In the new greenhouse everything is explained so that the women can build their own greenhouses. Also for all other activities the material has now been distributed. We are excited about the first season. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation, which supports this project significantly.
