In Nepal
Overall situation
In Nepal ROKPA continues to work on existing
projects. In addition a new piece of land was
acquired.
New piece of land: The new land is situated directly
between the existing ROKPA Children’s Home and the
Guest House. Among other things, a new building for
the Women’s Workshop is planned, as this is still located
in the Children’s Home. The new building creates room
for both projects. The Children’s Home shall receive a
playground and a small sport field, the Women’s Workshop
a shop from where the customers can directly
source their products. This will provide an additional
source of income.
Children’s Home: While two children have found a new
family in the Children’s Home, five kids have left the
„nest“. They want to lead an independent life as young
adults.
Sonam can be proud of her diploma as a physiotherapist.
She currently works for an organization for persons with
leprosy. In addition to the 2012 Dance Tour through
Europe, another cultural highlight was the founding of
the ROKPA orchestra.
Soup kitchen/Medical tent: As of mid-December until
the beginning of May we provide meals on a daily basis
for over 500 people.
During the 2011/2012 season volunteers cooked
and ladled out 5 tons of rice and vegetables/potatoes
respectively. During that same period 683 people
received medical aid.
