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.

Learning from each other …
… is the great success in our projects. The women in Ghunsa are proud of their compost, which they have prepared as they learned. Next on the agenda is the production of cabbage seeds. What our expert also learned is the great idea of using straw in the greenhouse to protect the plants from frost. Of course, this is immediately included in the program. All this is made possible by the support of Land Vorarlberg and Chay-ya Austria, as well as Chay-ya Nepal.

New Year …
… new happiness 😊. The apple trees in Chyangsar are prepared for the next season. Fertilized, pruned and given a protective coating, we hope for a rich harvest this year. Fruits are especially for the children something very special – a delicious experience and healthy to boot. Many thanks to Fair Styria for the continuous support of the model farm.

For the first time …
… the scholarship holders from the villages are on their own in Salleri, the district capital- But they enjoy the life where they only have to take care of themselves and the college. And are proud as one of the first to have reached this step of education. Of course our partners Racedi and Kusang continue to look after them intensively. We all wish them much success in their education. Many thanks to our sponsors who make this possible.

Very precisely …
… the steps from the pre-grown plants to the harvest are trained together with the experts. Soon the model farm in Chyangsar will be certified, so that the vegetables can be sold on the market as organic vegetables. In addition to maintaining soil health, these products can also generate a higher yield. Many thanks to Fair Styria, who faithfully accompany us here.

It is unbelievable …
… what is happening right now at the model farm in Ghunsa. Many things have been prepared for a long time, but now there is always great news. The first products are being made in the drying house, the greenhouse for the new nursery is ready, the self-built fence protects the beds. The women from the certification program are taking a close look at everything so that they can then use it themselves. The professional support provided by our partners Hasera and Social Work Institute can thus have a lasting effect. Many thanks to the state of Vorarlberg and Chay-ya Austria, through which this project was made possible.

Again and again …
… we discuss with the scholarship holders which school uniforms are needed. In Ghunsa and Chyangsar it happened again. We hope that everything was measured correctly and that the school dresses now fit well. The girls were very happy about it. We wish the girls a good time at school and thank the sponsors for their support.

Yay …
… after more than 2 years Carola Gosch is back in Nepal. With window openers for the glass houses, seeds and self-knitted socks she is back to work on site. But besides the work there is also a party to celebrate – Happy Holi

Water …
… is a big issue in all villages, sometimes too much, sometimes too little. in Chyangsar the reservoir is already empty again. In heavy rain slips again and again a piece of the field. Slowly the women develop a feeling for it and small ditches are made where water can run off well or flow into the prepared basin. Watering is still mainly done by hand but there are plans to lay hoses where it is absolutely necessary. The ongoing development of the model farm is only possible with the support of Fair Styria.
