The party is …
… at the hostel, as there are several birthdays at the same time. The girls prepare everything together and then enjoy the party together.
The community is very important for the girls. Together with their carer, they learn routines in areas such as exercise, meditation, study times and house and garden work.
Many thanks to the Schöck Family Foundation for supporting the hostel.

Studying in the hostel …

Physical exercises and short excursions are organised during the breaks. It is important that the girls are healthy in every respect.

The girls …

Cooking their own vegetables is a good basis for a healthy life.

A distinguished visitor …

A big wish …
… of the girls at the hostel was a storage box where they could keep their personal belongings. Previously these were only in bags, there are no boxes in the hostel.
These were made in Kathmandu and brought to Sallerie together with seat cushions.
We are delighted for the girls and thank Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting the hostel.
.. suitable boxes were produced and seat cushions purchased in Kathmandu 
.. the girls enthusiastically put their personal belongings away 
.. the boxes also protect against moisture 
… the seat cushions make working on the converted bed frames cosy -
Strengthening …
… local skills and opportunities means training the women so that they can sew the girls’ school dresses themselves in future. After the compulsory part, there is also training for other women’s clothing, which they are of course particularly pleased about.
For the first time, the school dresses for our approximately 140 girls will be sewn by the women of the cooperative.
This creates another opportunity to generate income but also to sew for the family. Each model farm has a sewing workshop that is available to the women.
We would like to congratulate and thank our sponsors for supporting the girls and their mothers.
… eager sewing at the model farm in Chyangsar 
.. the women learn to adapt the pattern to different sizes 
.. a trainer assists them for a month 
.. the results are proudly shown 
.. the girls come round for a fitting 
.. and after all the dresses are finished, private sewing takes place -
Living and learning …
… the girls from the villages can now live and learn in the new hostel in Sallerie. It is important to us that they not only finish school, but also learn other important skills. Cohesion, organisation, vegetable growing, cooking with regional vegetables according to old recipes and much more. They have now planted fields to grow their own vegetables.
We wish you a good harvest ?
Many thanks to the Schoeck Family Foundation for making it possible to run the hostel.

Care …
… the girls not only receive the materials they need to go to school, but also people who are there for them. Last year, Lena Kremser’s friends knitted bonnets and socks as well as small “knitted worms” as toys. These have now accompanied our girls through the winter and shown them that we care about them.
Many thanks to Lena and her knitting club as well as to all the other sponsors who believe in the girls and give them the strength to learn for school.
