If you can envisage being able to help with our campaigns on an ad hoc basis, please send us an email so that we can add you to our database of helpers:

We will send you a brief questionnaire in order to establish where your cooperation could be of most help (for example in material provisions, cooking, links to the authorities, manning sales stalls ...) and will then contact you as needed.
Once a year, during the winter school at Pokhara, the children visit the dentist - here they are sitting in the waiting room. The treatments are covered by the project's health budget. |

Sponsorship
Sponsorship for a child can come from anyone: individuals, families, groups of students, or whole classes, regularly providing for one of the children and keeping in occasional contact. The children in Nepal love to find out about their personal benefactors, to whom they refer as "godparents".
Sponsorship costs 50 Euros per month, all your questions are answered in this PDF >> |
Letters from sponsors!

And in the package? A group skipping rope! |

Help with transport and material goods
It makes most sense to buy or manufacture needed items in Nepal. Nonetheless there are sometimes items that are not available there and must be transported.
|
When the road is closed the carriers secure the provisions. |
Local craftsmen built cupboards for the children's rooms |
Perhaps you have links to transport companies, or know someone who is travelling to Nepal and would be prepared to take a couple of extra kilos in their luggage ... reliable friends in Kathmandu and Pokhara would then collect these items.
Please let us know: |

Expertise
Your knowledge, experience and contacts could be of use too: if you think that you could advise us in relevant areas, please let us know. Perhaps we'd need you next week, maybe in a couple of years...

Volunteer work
Living and working with the children for a few weeks or months is a deeply affecting experience - and adds variety to the children's lives, including important new experiences and language skills. |
In the classroom - C. Klaffinger shows how to use a ruler and Stanley knife |
The children learn how to use a PC and the internet at the winter schoo in Pokhara |
Volunteers of every age and every walk of life are welcome - it is not necessary to be a teacher. Volunteers will be extensively counselled by us, but travel to and around Nepal on their own responsibility and at their own cost.
