… to the second girl from Chyangsar who did the internship for agricultural training at HASERA. She worked so well that she even got a job offer and we hope that she will use it to continue working in this field. We wish her all the best.
This will build important capacities for organic farming in Nepal and the initiative will have a lasting effect.
Many thanks to HASERA for this valuable training and to our sponsors who have been supporting this girl, among others, for 9 years.
… on the computer are an important experience for the girls in Sallerie. All the girls from the hostel are taking part in the course and are also learning the 10-finger system to be able to type quickly.
We wish them lots of fun and thank the Schoeck Family Foundation for supporting the girls in the hostel.
… the school dresses for all villages are sewn by the women themselves. In 2 workshops (Merangding and Kunikhop), a few women each receive training on how to measure, cut and sew. The school dresses are then produced as part of the training.
In addition to training for the future, the hard-working seamstresses also receive a wage for the finished school dresses.
This means that the added value for the school dresses of our protégés remains in the villages.
Here are the first steps in Kunikhop.
Many thanks to all sponsors who make this particularly sustainable purchase possible ?
… the girls from Raksha Nepal have been living in the renovated rooms in Kathmandu. It is unbelievable how they are overcoming their fates and finding their way back to themselves thanks to the good care and the “healthy” environment. They keep reminding themselves of important things on self-designed posters until this becomes part of their thinking.
We are always happy to be able to support them and are touched by their joy at our visit.
Thank you to all the supporters of Roots for Life who make this work possible.
… is something very special for the girls, especially before the big autumn holidays. There are currently over 20 girls in the final classes for the higher school-leaving certificate. This programme, which started 3 years ago, is a great success in the villages. Most of them attend the school in Sallerie and live in the hostel, but some also live in Kathmandu and Pokhara. We maintain close contact with all of them and also celebrate and shop for the festivals.
We would like to thank our sponsors for their loyal support and are always happy to hear from new ones at office@rootsforlife.info.
It’s nice that some of them already speak English very well.
… are once again in Pokhara this year. The girls are going through a mentoring programme, learning professions (e.g. dressmaker, beautician, …). Some of them get a job, others want to start their own business and are supported by our partner Opportunity Village Nepal.
We also visit the girls who started a few years ago every year. They are particularly pleased when they can try out what they have learnt with Carola Gosch ?.
It’s great to see that this project is making such a lasting difference to the lives of young women.
… now also the projects in Solukhumbu and Pokhara. Some girls from the OVN project are learning tailoring. They produce hair bands from leftover fabric. We bought these from them and distributed them to the women and girls in the villages. It was a lot of fun and good business for the seamstresses ?
… some girls from the villages are completing their secondary education with the support of our sponsors. Afterwards, they even have the opportunity to attend university or complete other vocational training.
First, however, there is a meeting with pizza and chatting as well as a small shopping trip for everyone.
Many thanks to all our sponsors, without you none of this would be possible.
… were given to the children in Chyangsar when the apples from the apple orchard were distributed. At over 80 years old, Lage Maya has looked after the apple trees wonderfully and can be proud of the harvest.
Many thanks to all those involved in setting up the apple farm.
… is what our scholarship holder Ramita learnt during her internship on the Hasera farm and presented in English to the international group.
We are very proud of her and thank our sponsors for their support.
