In 2007..
..I flew to Nepal for the first time and was impressed by the approach. Almost 20 years and what feels like a million aeroplane photos later, the approximately 30th approach is still impressive. Today, I associate it not only with scenic beauty but also with an inkling of the challenges this country faces. I am looking forward to a good time with our Nepalese team. Thank you to all the sponsors who have made our work possible for 12 years now.

The women in Ghunsa..
.. run the model farm in an exemplary manner. In mixed cultivation, the plants support each other. The young plants are in the field and everything is being prepared for the next sowing in the greenhouse. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the farms.

In Nepal…
… the ban on 26 social media platforms has awakened a generation. Thousands of young people protested against corruption, inequality and an old elite, some of whose representatives have been in power for over 10 years. Every day, around 2,000 young Nepalese leave the country because they have no prospects. But many want to stay, raise their voices and change the country. There is now a transitional government that is supposed to organise new elections. We wish them all the best and hope that our projects can also contribute to this. Many thanks to all our supporters who have made this work possible for over 10 years.

As every year…
…school supplies were distributed to children in all villages. This means that nothing stands in the way of a successful next school year. We wish the girls all the best. Many thanks to our sponsors who support our girls.

We are delighted…
…that our farm manager in Merangding once again has a safe home. After the landslide destroyed her house last year, everyone pitched in to help, and now she has a safe place to live again. We wish her all the best.

Insect..
…and water management are essential components of sustainable agriculture in Chyangsar. Our experts have shown the women some ways to combat pests naturally. Light traps, yellow boards, and red flags help with this. Water from the kitchen is collected through filters in a small pond and used for watering. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the farms.

Diverse …
… is the everyday life of the girls. In addition to school, where they achieve good results, they bake, celebrate and do handicrafts. As a balance, there is also exercise and meditation in nature. The aim is for the girls to learn good routines for their lives. Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the girls.

Basic information …
… on organic vegetable growing is taught to the girls at the hostel by our expert. A cultivation and work plan hangs in the kitchen, so the girls always know what they have to do in the garden. We would like to thank the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the hostel.

End of school …
… is a reason for everyone to celebrate. The girls at the hostel have also completed their exams for year 11 and 12. The results for year 11 are already in and all the girls have passed. Our warmest congratulations. Many thanks also to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the girls.
