a flavour of the progress of our investments in the Seduwa area
We are very happy to show you the first results of our investments in the Seduwa region!
As stated before, Rudi, Charlie and Veerle visited Seduwa and the villages beyond in October.
They found positive signs (a completely new school is being built by a Korean NGO) but sadly enough also a lot of unknown, hidden needs in Seduwa and in the nearby settings.
That is why we did not exactly follow the original dream of the new school, but responded to the needs of the locals.
The pictures show the first signs of rehab:
- we built a kitchen and sleeping area for the teachers of the Nabagaon school. Up till now, they had been living, cooking and sleeping in the classroom, so they had to organize their lessons outside. Thanks to our support, teaching can be done where it should be: in the classroom.
- We helped refurnishing and decorating the small monastery in Nabagaon. For us, Western people, it might seem strange to focus on a religious place on the priority list, but for the local community this monastery, that is also used to teach buddhist stories, is of major importance;
- in Seduwa, we also restored the roof and created two extra classrooms;
- in Mulgaun, a one hour walk from Seduwa, we had 22 sets of benches and desks made. We also bought 5 new whiteboards for the school and provided the markers to write on them.
- our local guide, Dawa messaged us: “Once again, all the people would like to say a big " Thank you" to all of you, and wishes many success and happiness for your coming days,
Give my greetings to all of you and your friend,
With warm regards,
Your friend,
Dawa.
