We have already been able to build 320 wells in Chheskam. Water supply is an important and central issue. Water should be accessible to everyone in the world. Clean and good quality drinking
water lasts for generations. We have succeeded in implementing this in Chheskam.
There were 19 houses missing from the last offer from District 3. We don't know why. In any case, we will develop these as well so that we can complete this wonderful water project.
In the spring we will start with course 3 for reading and writing for women.
We are still looking for a donor for this course. With a donation of CHF 500 we can finance the course.
Our school in Chheskam is very popular. New pupils are joining us all the time. The school currently has 90 pupils, which is around 20 children more than before. Three years ago, we donated a
school uniform to the school. But now there are new children and they have no uniform or only an old one. We would like to order a new collection and would order 20 more if there are more
pupils.
To order 110 uniforms, we need about CHF 700. We are still looking for a sponsor.
The high school in Chheskam needs additional school buildings
The high school in Chheskam has the same “problem” as the lower school. Too many pupils and no room for all the children. The management of the high school contacted us for this reason. They were
able to acquire additional school buildings. There was still an area with older school buildings that had previously been empty. Now you can send the younger children to these classrooms. But the
buildings are old and urgently need to be renovated.
Funding for this project is around CHF 20,000. We are still looking for a sponsor.
In Nepal there is still a caste system. Each ethnic group is still divided into a caste system. One of the lowest castes is the Kami. They also live in Chheskam. This caste, for example, is
not allowed to enter the house of another caste. This caste is only allowed to practise simple professions. They already have a new water supply. During our visit, they showed us their prayer
stupa. It is their sacred place of prayer and a meeting place for their Kast. The stupa there is very old and is in need of renovation. They also need a railing for the steep stairs to make it
easier for the elderly to reach the place.
Funding for this project is around CHF 3,000. We are still looking for a sponsor.
