  • Soccer …

    Soccer …

    … has long been a beloved hobby of our scholarship holder Phurpo. It’s a great balance to the hard studies, but also good for her self-confidence as a girl. At a training camp, she was able to train together with the boys. Kusang Tamang provided her with the necessary material.

    We are happy for her and wish her a lot of fun, especially many goals ? .

    Many thanks to our sponsors, through whom we can support the girls.

    Kiwi’s …

    … could be harvested in larger quantities for the first time in Chyangsar on the model farm. 10 kg of them were distributed to the children – they were thrilled. For many it was the first kiwi of their lives. We will grow more seedlings and distribute them to the women as well.

    Many thanks to all who supported us in setting up the farm. Especially to FAIR STYRIA.

    .. Vitamins for the winter – the first distribution of kiwis from the model farm in Chyangsar.

  • The second time …

    The second time …

    … we are able to support 10 girls, this time from all 4 villages, to complete their higher education with the 11th and 12th grade. They live in Sallerie in rented rooms and have their own kitchen. Lena Kremser organised pretty blouses which they were very happy about.

    Many thanks to our sponsors, without whom all this would not be possible.

  • Just in time …

    Just in time …

    … before winter, Carola Gosch brings the great self-knitted socks of Lena Kremser and her knitting troupe to Merangding and Ghunsa. The fun is great when the socks are chosen and put on to match the clothes.

    Many thanks to the hard-working knitters and Lena Kremser for the organisation!

  • The start of school …

    The start of school …

    … is also a big event in Kunikhop. Like everywhere else in the world, the girls in Nepal also want to be ” grown up” at last.  They proudly receive their school materials and put on their backpacks.  For some families it would not be possible to send the girls to school without our support.

    Many thanks to our sponsors who make this possible.

    .. especially the little ones feel “grown up” with the new material.
    .. the older girls help distribute the material
    .. Kusang always has a lot of fun with the distribution
    .. I wonder what will be written in these booklets ?

    .. The backpacks from last year are still in relatively good shape, which makes us very happy.

  • An overview …

    An overview …

    … of all the activities of Roots for Life was given by Carola Gosch at a charity event. A video of the interview with a summary of the great work of Roots for Life has also been created – take a look.

  • Settled in well …

    Settled in well …

    … our college girls from Chyangsar and Ghunsa have settled in Salleri. Soon the big final exams for the first year will come and we wish them all the best.

    Soon the next girls should start, so we are looking forward to new sponsors – please contact us at office@rootsforlife.info ?

    Many thanks to our sponsors, without whom this project would not be possible.

    .. The small room serves as a sleeping and learning space, at the bed who reads – at the table who writes.
    .. In the small kitchen the girls prepare their food and another sleeping place is here.
    .. The girls are happy about the visit, they are only nervous when it comes to English conversation.
    .. A laptop for all of them to use in the future to practice English conversation via Zoom.

    .. One of the girls needs a smart phone, because documents in the college are transmitted digitally.

  • For the first time …

    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.

  • With twine …

    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.
