Accompany us on one of our school visits!
Recently, our caretaker Ritu Chepang visited Shree Rastiya primary school in Chitwan district, especially to see our sponsored girl Sarjina. She was studying with her friend when Ritu got their. Ritu also spoke to Sarjina's teacher about her education and learning progress. We always communicate with the teachers to make sure our sponsored children are feeling and doing well at school or also to be able to take the necessary measures for them to do better, if necessary 👩🏽‍🎓.

Begleite uns bei einem unserer Schulbesuche!
Kürzlich besuchte unsere Betreuerin Ritu Chepang die Shree Rastiya Grundschule im Distrikt Chitwan, vor allem um das durch eines unserer Paten geförderte Mädchen Sarjina zu besuchen. Sie lernte gerade mit ihrer Freundin, als Ritu dort ankam. Ritu sprach auch mit Sarjinas Lehrer über ihre Bildung und ihre Lernfortschritte.

Wir kommunizieren immer mit den Lehrern, um sicherzustellen, dass es unseren Förderkindern in der Schule gut geht, sie gut mitkommen, oder auch, um die notwendigen Maßnahmen ergreifen zu können, damit sie besser werden, falls denn nötig 👩🏽‍🎓.

Boards exams or also known as final exams are one of the most important exams for a student as it signifies one to be promoted to the next grade. So in this seriousness, are our children Posta and Netra.

Migrated from the valleys of India, Posta and Netra have had a heart wrecking story with loosing their father to sickness at an early age. Ever since, they live with the support of their grandparents and their grandparents with the support of them. By a walk of a hefty 3 hours, is the only way they can reach their school and get education. Along with studying hard to get good grades on their boards, they help their grandparents with household chores such as cleaning, field work, feeding the domestic animals — the only source of income for them to get by.

We are overwhelmed with their enormous dedication despite of their tribulations of life. We aspire to inspire and motivate all of our youngsters to be fearless and hard working just like Posta and Netra.

Ram Jyoti School recently had its annual event that is known as “Parents Day” in Nepal. It’s pretty self explanatory, all of the parents of the children who study there are invited to celebrate parenthood and how important parenting is for children 😇

On the same school, all of our children from our Pokhara children home study there. Our child, Arpana, even had the opportunity to show her talent by dancing gracefully as ever. You can also see the rest of our children being involved and enjoying the event 😍.

There was delicious food and great music and as well as smile on everyone’s faces 😊

Yesterday, the 8th of March was International Women’s Day or Nari Diwas in Nepali. This year’s theme was “Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow”. On this day, women all over the globe from different cultural and ethnic groups get the chance to speak up, to talk about the inequalities they face in their day-to-day life and to remember their struggles of the past.

On the photos you can see our sponsored girls Yogmaya, Gita, Bishnu, Binita, Sirjana, Sandhya, Asna, Jenisha, Sunita, Menuka and Arpana with their mothers or caretakers Rakhi, Gursenee and Saru, or just by themselves. We work hard to allow them and all our other sponsored girls access to education, to health care, to food, to happiness and fortune in the same way as our sponsored boys.

In too many countries in this world, women still struggle and we aim for changing that here in Nepal at least for the girls we get to support.

Known as the festival of colors, Holi, is an exciting festival in Nepal that celebrates the arrival of spring & colors smearing onto faces. Without missing out on this startling moment, the president of our organization, Sagun Gurung sir visited the children home in Pokhara and celebrated the festival with them.

He bought signature holi t-shirts to each of them along with some exciting water guns and water cannon toys. They all playfully enjoyed putting colors on each others faces. However, two of our children did not celebrate as it is a cultural custom for one to not celebrate any kind of festival for one year when a family member passes away.

Even so, they were happy to see the rest of the children play holi happily. We hope that all of you had a happy holi just like our children!
Thank you🙏

Yesterday was a holiday, so our caretakers Malati Tamang and Anil Gurung took our sponsored children Roshni, Rita and the siblings Yunika, Suman and Sonu from the children's home in Lamjung district on an excursion. After an exhausting hike up a mountain, they had lunch together up there enjoying the views.

Is there any better way to spend a day off than enjoying nature with your family and friends? ☺️

Gestern war ein Feiertag, deshalb machten unsere Betreuer Malati Tamang und Anil Gurung mit unseren Förderkindern Roshni, Rita und den Geschwistern Yunika, Suman und Sonu aus dem Kinderheim im Bezirk Lamjung einen Ausflug. Nach einer anstrengenden Wanderung hoch auf einen Berg haben sie dort oben gemeinsam zu Mittag gegessen und die Aussicht genossen.

Gibt es eine bessere Art, einen freien Tag zu verbringen, als mit der Familie und Freunden die Natur zu genießen? ☺️

Barsa, who is studying Hotel Management (in case you don't remember), couldn't attend our most recent Rupandehi meet up which we posted about last Thursday. She instead went to an important college event, where she actually got first and second in different games 👑.

We of course visited her at her house a few days after to give her the monthly goods and of course also her own school bag! 🤗

Barsa konnte an unserem unser Rupandehi Treffen, über das wir letzte Woche gepostet haben, nicht teilnehmen. Sie war auf einem Event ihrer Universität (wo sie Hotel Management studiert) und erzielte dort bei verschiedenen Spielen den 1. und 2. Platz.

Wir haben sie ein paar Tage später natürlich zuhause besucht und ihr dort all die Monatsgüter sowie ihren eigenen Rucksack gegeben.

Providing essential adequacy to our children and making sure they have sufficient supplies for school is one of our main concern. That is why, we have a fixed monthly project to provide these children with obligatory materials for their progressing selves.

Here you can see, our caretaker, Santoshi Mizar managing and providing the necessary school supplies to the children of Kaski District— copies, pens, pencils, school bags, and so on. Grocery items such as rice, cooking oil, salt, sugar, etc were also rendered to the needed families.

Just like so, numerous children of many districts around Nepal are helped by us through our organization. All of the children are contented to have received the necessities and express their deepest gratitude towards our organization.
Thank you 🙏

It’s been a while since we’ve last posted about our children in our children home. Today we have some exciting news to share! 😄

When we first rented the flat for the children, there were plainly no furniture so we gradually added them one by one and we thank Chanmati Tamang, who is our landlord, generously lent us 2 beds of her own for the children to sleep on until we could buy them a new one!

Today we are very happy to announce that we’ve finally been able to buy them bunk beds. With bunk beds we could save trouble with space and most importantly, the children love them! We now have 3 bunk beds in total and one low bed—enough for all the children to sleep on.

Along with the bunk beds we also got them mattresses, bedsheets and some school essentials for the children who newly joined our children home. Our team as well as the children are very happy. We are all very thankful and aspire to do such great things continuously.

Remember how a few months ago we met up with all the sponsored children and their guardians from Rupandehi? This Sunday, we did that again! We provided them with goods such as food, sanitary products, etc. While we give them these every single month (we just don't always meet up in a big group), this time they got a special item: a new school bag!

They were all very happy to receive so many goods and to be able to take them home as their own.

****************************
Vor ein paar Monaten hatten wir uns mit allen gesponsorten Kindern und deren Eltern in Rupandehi getroffen. Diesen Sonntag war es wieder soweit! Wir haben sie mit Gütern wie Lebensmittel und Hygieneprodukte versorgt. Während wir ihnen diese Dinge jeden Monat geben (wir versammeln uns dafür bloß nicht immer in so einer großen Gruppe), gab es diesmal auch etwas Besonderes: ein neuer Schulrucksack!

Sie zeigten sich alle sehr glücklich über so viele Sachen und sie als ihre eigenen mit nach Hause nehmen zu können.

Sports season in school really is one of the most fun times at school 😍. Recently one of our children, Kumari had a 3 day sports program held in her school which she took part in. The event consisted of various sport activities like running, football, kabaddi and so on.

Kumari participated in Kabaddi which is a game played between 2 groups where each person of one group has to raid the opponents group and touch as many defense players as possible without getting caught on a single breath.

Kumari’s group gallantly won the game and Kumari was also the best player out of the rest. She and her group were honored with medals, tika and certificates. We are very proud and happy for her. After all, a child’s physical health is an essential part of their life😇🙏

Die Sportsaison in der Schule ist wirklich eine der lustigsten Zeiten in der Schule 😍. Kürzlich hatte eines unserer Kinder, Kumari, ein dreitägiges Sportprogramm in ihrer Schule, an dem sie teilnahm. Die Veranstaltung bestand aus verschiedenen sportlichen Aktivitäten wie Laufen, Fußball, Kabaddi und so weiter.

Kumari nahm an Kabaddi teil, einem Spiel, das zwischen zwei Gruppen gespielt wird, bei dem jede Person einer Gruppe die gegnerische Gruppe überfallen und so viele Verteidigungsspieler wie möglich berühren muss, ohne bei einem einzigen Atemzug hängen zu bleiben.

Kumaris Gruppe gewann das Spiel galant und Kumari war auch der beste Spieler der anderen. Sie und ihre Gruppe wurden mit Medaillen, Tika und Urkunden geehrt. Wir sind sehr stolz und glücklich für sie. Schließlich ist die körperliche Gesundheit eines Kindes ein wesentlicher Teil seines Lebens😇🙏

One of our children, Sita is a young girl from the district of Syangja. With her sudden disappearance 3 months ago, we were all concerned of where she had been.

After a heavy search in the meanwhile, we finally found out that she had been living with her sister and her spouse in pokhara — compelled to leave her home in Syangja because of her fathers’ drinking problem and dominance from her brother as well which all roots to the tragic passing of her month in July last year.

However, living with her sister in pokhara too, she had to statutorily help around the house with chores and couldn’t go to school. So we decided to move her to our children home 😊. As it is a priority for us to make sure our children have a good education and the significance of their ambitions is looked through.

Sita is the newest member of our children home. She expresses her gratitude towards Namaste Kids Team and everyone who made this possible for her.
Thank you🙏

Who of you loves football? :D ⚽ No matter if you do or don’t, today we will tell you about someone who sure does: sponsored child Ayush from Gorkha!

Ayush has been playing football with his friend since he was a child. This very Monday, though, he actually got to play his first match. And it wasn’t any match but actually the semifinals of a local football contest between the different wards of the Ajirkot Rural Municipality ⚽🥅.

Even though they lost this match, you can see Ayush is very happy about having participated in a semifinal and representing his village 😊 It was a great day for him! 🍀

As it is our main concern to keep our children in a safe and sound environment, Sambidhan is one of those many children that have faced tribulations. He comes from the district of Kapilbastu with a woeful history of poverty and desperate neediness.

Living in a very critical condition, his house was a coverage of tar on the bank of the river arising the concern of security and possible calamities. Following this scene, we decided to transfer him to our funded house in Pokhara where he can live safely along with the Kumal and the Chitaure children.

Here you can see him joining the children house as a new member and meeting his new friends 😊. We are relieved to have him here and help him achieve great goals in the future. He is very grateful and already making himself at home.
Thank you 🙏

The last time we introduced one of our team members was quite some time ago, so let's do that today! ☺️

Hello and Namaste 🙏🏻 My name is Stefanie, I am 28 years old and come from Western Germany, but I am currently living on the Canary Islands. I have a bachelor's degree in Multilingual Communication, a master in Communication of Science and have completed courses in Online Marketing.

Since I was a teenager, I have been doing activism for the environment, climate and animals and it is amazing that I can now also help children through my volunteer work at Namaste Kids 💙.

To be precise, I form part of the Social Media Team of Namaste Kids and have been managing the social media accounts by preparing and posting content as well as engaging with the community since September last year. To me, it has been really important to find a way to use my communication skills for a good cause and Namaste Kids is allowing me to do so.

Learning about the living conditions of Nepalese children really moves my heart and I am happy I can make their stories heard here on social media so that more people can come to know about their fates.

🤗 Thank you all for following us on social media, to those who support and sponsor us and thanks to all Namaste Kids employees for making the children's lives better.

One of the major fields we work in is health care, as our most loyal followers will already know. However, we not only work for assuring our Namaste Kids get medical attention when they fall sick, but we also attach particular importance to preventive medicine 🏥🩺.

Here, you can see Batuli from Ghiring (the sister of the Kumal family, remember her?) getting her last shot of the rabbies vaccines this month. She didn’t have to go alone, of course, but was accompanied by her caretaker 😊.

We also took advantage of the situation of being with Batuli on that day to buy her some fresh vegetables as well as writing materials and crayons so she can do her homework 📚.

Here we can see the celebration of Sarswati’s 17th birthday 🎂 from Bandipur. Our caretaker, Ash Lal, visited her house and brought cake, candles and decorations for the special occasion and gifted her some clothes as well as constituents to the family from donations such as blanket, bedsheet, pillows and so on.

She is very happy to have celebrated her birthday. Their whole family are also very happy overall and express their gratitude towards Namaste Kids Team. ♥️

Following our previous post about The Rana Family. They are the victims of the destructive earthquake that took place in Nepal in 2015 causing damage to their house that continued to deteriorate with seasonal rainfalls which since, has not been rebuild under the circumstances of their poverty.

Today, we are happy to declare that we have completed our project to build a house for them. We thank their God Parents from Germany who have a great contribution in this project and also our Namaste Kids Help Shop (link below).

The house contains three rooms with basic facilities like electricity, water and so on. On Thursday this week, they had a housewarming party companied by our Namaste Kids Team to celebrate this overwhelming journey. The Rana Family are very happy and express their gratitude towards their God Parents.

Living in one of the outlying part of Nawalpur, Nepal, is the Rana Family who are in severe poverty with barely a proper roof over their heads.

With a big family of six and no source of income, they have been having a hard time to even get through their daily lives, lacking in nutritious food, warm clothes and proper housing. Due to their inadequacy, they are compelled to work on field.

Recently, we have an upcoming project to build them a house where it will be safer to live as it is our concern to keep these families safe and sound 😇

Haven’t heard from the Kumal family from Ghiring in a while, have you? Well, that means it’s time for a #followup! We visited them yesterday after lunch time and found them playing outside the house. Their godparents had sent them photos and cards which they studied carefully 😉 (we of course made sure they were studying for their exams just as good!).

Because they were over the moon about receiving love and support from their godparents, they quickly proceeded to write a letter to their godparents in response 😊.

When it comes to deafness or hard of hearing, there are only very limited options for educational institutes for the deaf community in Nepal. With only 22 total deaf schools in all Nepal and under the circumstances of the poorness of Nepal’s educational sector, it is hard to find a deaf school.

However, consisting of more then 150 students, Shree Sirjana Residential Higher Secondary School for the Deaf takes the position for being one of the earliest established school for the deaf. One of our sponsored children, Chabilal who has difficultly in hearing is also studying as well as living in the school.

As our Christmas project, we had decided to provide the school with kitchen utensils that were in scarce of. Our namaste kids team from Pokhara managed to get all of the necessary items and handed it down to the school— kitchen materials such as plates, bowels, cutleries, spatulas, curry pots, rice cooker, and so on. All of the children of the school and the principal were very happy and grateful.

Today we’d like to introduce you to “The Chitaures”, a family from Bandipur, who have overcome tackling the shackles of hardship. In a total of 5 members, Arpana (11), Abhishek (9) and Ashok (6) are the three children of the family who have come a long way from their lives of callous. With their father being disabled and mother— the only one to rely on, they faced destitution and neediness.

Arpana from a young age started to help her mother with household works and taking care of her brothers. We applaud her for her enormous dedication and resilience to acknowledge such tribulation and selflessly leading a position to bring her family to an orthodox. However, In 2022, their mother was diagnosed with cancer and on November, unfortunately she passed away.

After this incidence, the children didn’t have any kind of parental guidance so we were conscious about their safety and caretaking so we shifted them to our funded house in Pokhara.

It is a child’s morally justified exemption to have the right and access to proper food, shelter, clothes, health, education and so on.

Saw our last post? Then you will know that we met up with all our sponsored children from Lamjung Besisahar 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧.

A few days ago, we actually also organised a meet up with some of the sponsored children and their parents from districts Chitwan and Gorkha with the same purpose of providing them with their monthly goods 🛍️ (food, winter clothes, ..). All these children belong to the indigenous tribe Chepang, which means they are part of one of the most marginalised and impoverished groups of Nepal. This makes it very crucial but also especially difficult to support them in accessing education.

Our organization president Sagun Gurung was also present 👨‍🏫 and talked to the families about the importance of education, health and discipline and took special importance in motivating them to study and attend school 📚.

As part of making sure that our Namaste Kids receive the education they deserve, we sometimes even visit them at their school to see how everything is going for them 🏫.

One of the key things we dedicate our efforts to is the health of our Namaste Kids 💙. Covering hospital expenses, medicines, travel charges, and regular check ups are all within our concerns 🩺.

Part of the regular checkups is measuring the childrens' heights and weights every 3-4 months, which allows us to evaluate their current health conditions and monitor the improvement of their diet and nutrition that we aim for 📈. So during our gathering with the Rupandehi kids, we filled two needs with one deed and not only delivered the donations but also made them all stand on our medical scale 😇😬. They're all healthy!
