It's time for some good news! Meet the brothers Shanaya and Samip (first picture) and the sisters Anuj y Aliza (second picture) from the Kapilvastu district. All of them are in good health, have good maintained hygiene (which is something very important to us) and attend school regularly. They take their education seriously and are motivated to do their homework. We love to see when our effort and hard work to help the children bears fruit! ... See MoreSee Less
A few days late, but better late than never! 😁 We still wanted to use the occasion to share our wishes for our sponsored children. May they receive only the best! ❤️🎇 Do you have any special wishes for them this year? Let us know in the comments! ... See MoreSee Less
In our last post, we talked about the Tihar festival which was celebrated in Nepal recently. As a little follow-up, our sponsored children Asmit, Aryan, Sumikshya and Sarjina talked about how they enjoyed the celebrations with their caretaker and made some drawings about their experience. They especially enjoyed playing Deusi Bhailo, traditional folk songs sung during Tihar accompanied by dancing from and to neighbouring homes and collecting gifts.
Tihar is known to be one of Nepal’s biggest festival. Beginning with Kaag Tihar, where crows are fed and honored, followed by Kukur Tihar, which celebrates dogs for their loyalty, continued with Gai Tihar, a day dedicated to cows, revered as sacred animals. Finally, on the fourth day which is marked as the day for ‘Laxmi Puja’—Nepalese people worship Goddess Laxmi for prosperity by decorating their homes with lots of lights and lighting oil lamps (diyo) as well as candles.
All of our children home children eagerly gave their hands to make their home beautiful and decorative. We were in bliss to see them love their culture and follow their tradition. Today marks the end of Tihar for this year and we can proudly say that our children enjoyed every bit of it! 😇🪔 ... See MoreSee Less
We love to see our sponsored children have a good time and laugh, so we wanted to share these two super cute videos with you from Sumiksha, Aryan and Asmit 🥰. They live in the Chitwan district and belong to the Chepang community, a highly marginalised indigenous group in Nepal.
In the first video you can see Aryan and Asmit play together by flipping a bottle - a simple but fun game we all know around the world, don't we? 😁 In the second video, our caretaker Ritu gave them a little riddle to solve, as they had to explain the meaning of the phrase "The elephant went inside but its tail got stuck." Can you guess what it means? 😉 The children couldn't, so Ritu revealed the mystery: It's about a thread going through a needle. 🪡 ... See MoreSee Less
As we've told you in our last post, it's been Dashain season, one of the biggest and longest traditional festivities in Nepal. We wanted to share some of our sponsored children's drawings that they prepared for this special occasion with you. You can also see families doing the ritual of putting tika on the forehead of the younger family members! 😊 ... See MoreSee Less
Last weekend, the children from our children's home were picked up by their parents or other family members to spend this year's Dashain festive season at home. ✨ Dashain is one of the most important festivities in Nepal. It's to commemorate the victory of the goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura and takes place over a period of two weeks. Older family members put tika (raw rice mixed with yogurt) on the forehead of younger family members along with jamara (barley seedlings) on the ear. They also give them blessings and money. The celebration is followed with gatherings of families and friends - and lot of delicious food!
These upcoming days, the children will return to our Children Home, some have returned already. We hope they have had a great and pleasant time with their families. Happy Dashain!! 🥰 ... See MoreSee Less
🇬🇧: As you may know from our last post about our child Bishnu, she is finally attending school again after 2.5 years! After going through many obstacles and misinterpretation of her health conditions, she was initially taken out of school. However, now that we have fought together to break that barrier, we’re happy to see Bishnu taking slow steps and thriving at her new school.
We recently visited her at her school and met with her teachers and principal to know about her improvements and inquire about any difficulties she may be facing. Bishnu’s significant progress, both socially and academically makes us even more keen to support her journey forward. We will continue to do what is best for her! 🌸
🇩🇪: Wie Sie vielleicht aus unserem letzten Beitrag über unser Kind Bishnu wissen, geht sie nach 2,5 Jahren endlich wieder zur Schule! Nach vielen Hindernissen und Fehlinterpretationen ihres Gesundheitszustands wurde sie zunächst von der Schule genommen. Nachdem wir gemeinsam dafür gekämpft haben, diese Barriere zu überwinden, freuen wir uns nun, dass Bishnu langsame Schritte macht und sich in ihrer neuen Schule gut entwickelt.
Vor kurzem haben wir sie in ihrer Schule besucht und uns mit ihren Lehrern und dem Schulleiter getroffen, um uns über ihre Fortschritte und eventuelle Schwierigkeiten zu erkundigen. Bishnus beachtliche Fortschritte, sowohl im sozialen als auch im akademischen Bereich, machen es uns noch wichtiger, sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg zu unterstützen. Wir werden weiterhin das Beste für sie tun! 🌸 ... See MoreSee Less
🇬🇧: Our sponsored child, Sharmila, from Rupandehi district, has achieved a milestone by placing herself in the third position in Nepal Red Cross Circle Manimukunda sub-branch level Elocution competition. We are immensely proud of her participation in such extra curricular activities outside of her school premises and text book curriculum.

Sie ist ein großes Vorbild für ihre Mitschüler und inspiriert andere, ihre Interessen mit ganzem Herzen zu verfolgen. Wir gratulieren ihr zu dieser bemerkenswerten Leistung und wünschen ihr alles Gute für ihre zukünftigen Unternehmungen. ... See MoreSee Less
After a summer holiday of about one month, many of our sponsored children have returned to school these days. Our caretakers have been visiting them at their schools to see if they had done their vacation homework and also if they were performing well the first classes after having enjoyed this longer period of free time. Wish them best of luck and success for this new school year! 🍀🤞🏻
🇬🇧: Our district caretakers play a crucial role in our organization by regularly visiting and providing daily reports on the well-being of our children. Likewise, Our Dhading district caretaker, Mamta and Sharan have reported that our Dhading children are happy and healthy! They have both been doing an amazing job engaging with our children’s lives and interest along with giving motivation for education if needed so. Moreover, they, and all our caretakers in general also cover topics like boundaries, consent, in each visit and assure their overall well-being, laying a strong foundation for the children’s physical and mental health. 🌟🙏
🇩🇪: Unsere Bezirksbetreuer spielen eine wichtige Rolle in unserer Organisation, indem sie uns regelmäßig besuchen und täglich über das Wohlergehen unserer Kinder berichten. Auch unsere Distriktbetreuerin in Dhading, Mamta und Sharan, haben berichtet, dass unsere Kinder in Dhading glücklich und gesund sind! Die beiden leisten großartige Arbeit, indem sie sich für das Leben und die Interessen unserer Kinder einsetzen und sie bei Bedarf zur Bildung motivieren. Darüber hinaus behandeln sie, wie auch alle unsere Betreuer im Allgemeinen, bei jedem Besuch Themen wie Grenzen und Einverständnis und sorgen für das allgemeine Wohlbefinden der Kinder, was eine starke Grundlage für ihre körperliche und geistige Gesundheit bildet. 🌟🙏 ...

We would like to introduce you to Bishnu from Rupandehi who is finally going back to school! We're so happy about this! But why is this a reason to be happy? 🤔
Bishnu only attended school for a total of 4 not consecutive years in her life because both her parents and the government misinterpreted her health conditions and disregarded her too quickly. 😔 She has had some mental health issues - this combined with her strabismus made them think she had some kind of cognitive disability. We believed in her rights to education and made our own diagnostic procedures which showed us that Bishnu isn't actually intellectually disabled and has a normal IQ for her age.
We therefore wanted to enroll her in the Shree Rameshowri School in Pokhara where she was refused by the principal for no legitimate reason. Luckily enough we found another good school who accepted her no issue soon after 🎉. And while we're on the topic of new beginnings: Bishnu also recently moved into our children's home!
Today, Bishnu had her first school day in 2,5 years which was very exciting for her. Bishnu will attend class 3 - being almost 16. It's a shame it has come to this but we're glad we fought for her and her rights! ✨ Leave some encouraging comments below so that Bishnu feels motivated to study hard - because if she learns quickly enough, she's allowed to skip classes! 💪🏻
🇬🇧: A few months ago, we posted about our child, Kishan, who went through a 1st grade open fracture on his lower right leg. As you may know, we brought him to Kathmandu for the best treatment possible. As of now, we are happy to announce that Kishan’s leg is in very healthy condition. Just earlier this week, he finally took off his cast and there were no signs of inflammation! He has expressed to us that he now has no pain or discomfort at the surgical site and can walk freely! We would like to serve a huge thank you to Kishan’s god parents for selflessly funding the overall expenditure along with our Namaste Kids helpshop, partially supporting the expenditure!
🇩🇪: Vor ein paar Monaten haben wir über unser Kind Kishan berichtet, der sich einen offenen Bruch des rechten Unterschenkels 1. Wie Sie vielleicht wissen, brachten wir ihn zur bestmöglichen Behandlung nach Kathmandu. Wir freuen uns, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass sich Kishans Bein inzwischen in einem sehr guten Zustand befindet. Erst Anfang dieser Woche hat er endlich seinen Gips abgenommen, und es gab keine Anzeichen einer Entzündung! Er hat uns gegenüber geäußert, dass er jetzt keine Schmerzen oder Beschwerden an der Operationsstelle hat und frei laufen kann! Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei Kishans Pateneltern bedanken, die selbstlos die gesamten Kosten übernommen haben, sowie bei unserem Namaste Kids Helpshop, der die Kosten teilweise übernommen hat! ...

🇬🇧: Birthdays mark special moments and it appears to us that our child, Sabina’s birthday truly embodied that essence! It’s no wonder that young children cherish their birthdays, prompting us never to overlook each of our children’s special occasions. Our district caretaker, Sulet, organized a remarkable event for the celebration! It was heartwarming to see Sabina’s grandparents celebrating together with her. As Sabina steps into this new chapter of life, we extend her with abundant love, joy, and well-being. It was a beautiful moment, and we, as an organization, are immensely thankful to have partaken in it. Happy birthday, Sabina! May the forthcoming years bring even more happiness and blessings to your journey. 🎈🎂

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Sabina! Mögen die kommenden Jahre noch mehr Glück und Segen auf deinem Weg bringen. 🎈🎂
Yesterday, our caretakers met up with Khim Maya and Khim Bdr and their grandmother from the Lamjung district. They went to the market together and afterwards, to our office in Lamjung's district headquarters called Besishahar. According to their grandmother, even though they're on their summer vacations, they're doing their vacation homework everyday! We also took their height and weight for the regular health check up and we're glad to learn that they seem to be of good general health ☺️.
🇬🇧: In Nepal, the month of Shrawan, is significant known as the henna mehendi season. During this time, many people, especially women, apply henna on their hands as a part of their cultural and religious practices. It’s a beautiful tradition where intricate henna designs are created, symbolizing good luck and prosperity. The vibrant colors of henna during the month of Shrawan add to the festive and celebratory atmosphere in Nepal. We are happy to share some of our children’s beautiful henna designs and joyful faces!

Wir freuen uns, einige der schönen Henna-Muster und fröhlichen Gesichter unserer Kinder mit Ihnen zu teilen! ... See MoreSee Less
🇬🇧: It’s time to celebrate!! On June 21, last Friday, it was officially the 8th anniversary of our Namaste Kids’ establishment. Over the years, our organization has made significant strides in providing essential support and opportunities to children in need. From educational initiatives to healthcare assistance, we have been able to positively impact the lives of our children in from various regions. Our journey so far has showcased our commitment to making a difference and bringing hope to those who need it most.
We celebrated this day at our children home as we believe that our children are the heart of our organization. Our team joyfully celebrated this day by sharing their experiences of working with our organization and the highlights of their journey in Namaste Kids so far. We were also accompanied with delicious home-made traditional food 🥘, dance and song performances, and utter happiness. We strive to continue our dedication to our organization for many years ahead!
🇩🇪: 🇬🇧: Es ist Zeit zu feiern!!! Am vergangenen Freitag, dem 21. Juni, wurde offiziell der 8. Jahrestag der Gründung von Namaste Kids gefeiert.

Meet Soniya, Yadav and Bal from Rupandehi. Our care taker Saru Thapa visited them yesterday. She checked up on their life's at home but also their vacation activities. Soniya is going to college at the moment, though. Yadav is taking part in a computer course and Taekwondo class. Bal enjoys her free time from school but also does her vacation homework - she's so disciplined and we're proud of her! It was a nice visit for both our sponsored children and the care taker. 😊
🇬🇧: Our children natural affinity towards self-reliance in various tasks, likely influenced by their village upbringing. They independently manage activities like attending school 📚, self-care, studying, and household chores without constant reminders. Our organization significantly contributes to their moral development through our district caretakers’ consistent guidance inclusive of good morals and values, good hygiene 🪥, required nutrition and so on. With our monthly support, we are able to provide them with essential school supplies and household items for an adequate standard of living. Our nawalpur children are an exceptional example of this portrayal as viewed in the pictures! 🌸 ... See MoreSee Less
🇬🇧: As you may know, we have collaborated with Avya Club in Pokhara to extend the growth of our children physically, emotionally and artistically. Likewise, today our children from children home again had the opportunity to attend this program as they don’t have school on Saturday. We believe it is vital for children to be included in and experience the art of various activities. In this program, our children get to explore different types of sports and activities such as, taekwondo & self-defense, swimming, drawing and coloring and so forth. Moreover, this was a great opportunity for our developmental disability child, Bir Bahadur as he had the opportunity for social participation and access to developmental activities. The enthusiasm that our children have for learning in this program fills us with utter joy and gives us an opportunity to recognize their interests and make occasional plans for such events!
🇩🇪: Wie Sie vielleicht wissen, haben wir mit dem Avya Club in Pokhara zusammengearbeitet, um die körperliche, emotionale und künstlerische Entwicklung unserer Kinder zu fördern. Auch heute hatten unsere Kinder aus dem Kinderheim wieder die Gelegenheit, an diesem Programm teilzunehmen, da sie am Samstag keine Schule haben. Wir glauben, dass es für Kinder wichtig ist, in verschiedene Aktivitäten einbezogen zu werden und diese zu erleben. Bei diesem Programm können unsere Kinder verschiedene Sportarten und Aktivitäten wie Taekwondo und Selbstverteidigung, Schwimmen, Zeichnen und Malen usw. kennen lernen. Darüber hinaus war dies eine großartige Gelegenheit für unser entwicklungsbehindertes Kind Bir Bahadur, da er die Möglichkeit zur sozialen Teilhabe und zum Zugang zu entwicklungsfördernden Aktivitäten hatte. Der Enthusiasmus, mit dem unsere Kinder in diesem Programm lernen, erfüllt uns mit großer Freude und gibt uns die Möglichkeit, ihre Interessen zu erkennen und gelegentlich Pläne für solche Veranstaltungen zu machen! ...

Das übergeordnete Ziel des Programms war es, die Fähigkeiten unserer Teams zu verbessern und die Effizienz zu steigern, und wir freuen uns, dass es bereits umgesetzt wird! ... See MoreSee Less
One week ago was World Environmental Day. Although we have talked about this before on our social media channels, we consider it important to remind our followers that environmental issues pose a challenge for us. The climate crisis and other environmental crises are multifactor crises, after all - they expand over many areas of ours lives. The children we support live far off in rural areas. They are exposed to the changing weather conditions which at the same time can make it more difficult to visit them as well or for them to get to the city for basic needs or medical attention. Higher temperatures also have negative impacts on the childrens' health and tropical diseases expand quicker than ever. We support our sponsored children in every way we can here locally but it's crucial we as humans and policymakers protect our environment and climate on a global level.
🇬🇧: Our children are having a wonderful time doing their studies and school projects! As education plays a vital role in shaping the future of children, our children seem to be well known of this fact. By being able to provide quality education, our children have not only acquired academic knowledge but also developed critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and social skills.
Our children have definitely excelled their project works with flying colors! It empowers us to see our children fulfill their potential, pursue their passions, and contribute positively to society. Their dedication has built a foundation for a brighter future by opening doors to various opportunities and we are utterly proud of them!
🇩🇪: Unsere Kinder haben eine wunderbare Zeit mit ihren Studien und Schulprojekten! Da die Bildung eine wichtige Rolle bei der Gestaltung der Zukunft der Kinder spielt, scheinen unsere Kinder diese Tatsache zu kennen.

Unsere Kinder haben ihre Projektarbeiten definitiv mit Bravour gemeistert! Es bestärkt uns zu sehen, wie unsere Kinder ihr Potenzial ausschöpfen, ihren Leidenschaften nachgehen und einen positiven Beitrag zur Gesellschaft leisten. Ihr Engagement hat den Grundstein für eine bessere Zukunft gelegt, indem es ihnen die Türen zu verschiedenen Möglichkeiten öffnet, und wir sind sehr stolz auf sie! ... See MoreSee Less

🇬🇧: : The right to education is one of the most basic right that should be provided to a child however, it seems that it is not recognized by many. Our child, Bishnu faced a schooling rejection due to being labeled ‘mentally slow’ just because of her strabismus condition. Although, the school explained that they were compelled to differ the ongoing enrollment of older students with low graduation prospects because of high number of students, we found it to be irrational because Bishnu had been successfully passing her exams, setting her apart from many peers.
Having spent a year tending goats and doing household chores due to schooling obstacles, we aim to alter this situation. A psychiatric evaluation, crucial in this process, was planned in Pokhara for a thorough assessment by us. Subsequently, we also consulted with Bishnu’s father to explore options and plan the way forward, despite his initial discouragement towards her education and future prospects. As for now, Bishnu has been suggested to be needing specialized support, for which she will be staying in the children home for a few weeks. ... See MoreSee Less
🇬🇧: Recently, our organization’s child, Anisha Sarki visited the the hospital for a check-up as she had been complaining about some issues she had been having. After a thorough check-up, it was disclosed that her medical diagnosis was severe and she was in an urgent need of surgery.
Following this, brought her to Pokhara for further investigations and decisions regarding her surgery due to the limited hospital resources in Syangja. Today, we are happy to declare that Anisha had the surgery and it went successful! We cannot wait to follow up on her recovery process and see her thrive without any pain. As the cost for surgeries are generally high, we were able to find this surgery with our Namaste Kids help shop!
🇩🇪: Kürzlich besuchte Anisha Sarki, ein Kind unserer Organisation, das Krankenhaus, um sich untersuchen zu lassen, da sie über einige Probleme geklagt hatte, die sie hatte. Nach einer gründlichen Untersuchung wurde festgestellt, dass ihre medizinische Diagnose schwerwiegend war und sie dringend operiert werden musste.
Aufgrund der begrenzten Krankenhausressourcen in Syangja wurde sie für weitere Untersuchungen und Entscheidungen bezüglich ihrer Operation nach Pokhara gebracht. Heute können wir mit Freude verkünden, dass Anisha operiert wurde und der Eingriff erfolgreich verlaufen ist! Wir können es kaum erwarten, ihren Genesungsprozess zu verfolgen und zu sehen, wie sie ohne Schmerzen gedeiht. Da die Kosten für Operationen im Allgemeinen sehr hoch sind, konnten wir diese Operation mit Hilfe unseres Namaste Kids Help Shops finanzieren!
This Sunday May 12, it was Mother's Day in Nepal. The family situation of our sponsored children is not always easy. Some children live in our children. home because of that. But many others still live at home. Anyhow, their mothers would love to provide for their children and offer them a better life but don't have the resources to do so. That's where we step in and help.
Through sponsorships, our Namaste kids also have a Godmother to whom they also wrote happy mothers day letters!
We acknowledge the hard work mothers so oftentimes do. For there is no love like a mother's love. ❤️
🇬🇧: Our children have yet again finished their 10th grade examination and are granted with 3 months of holiday! After a collective counseling between our caretakers and our children, we have decided that they utilize their time by participating in something that can boosts their creativity, problem-solving skills and sharpens their critical thinking abilities.
Just like our graduated children from last year, they have also decided to take basic diploma computer classes! Our children from various districts have been admitted into their classes by our respective caretakers and staff members. We’re thrilled to support our students in pursuing their interests and achieving greatness!
🇩🇪: Unsere Kinder haben wieder einmal die 10. Klasse abgeschlossen und haben nun 3 Monate Urlaub! Nach einer gemeinsamen Beratung zwischen unseren Betreuern und unseren Kindern haben wir beschlossen, dass sie ihre Zeit nutzen sollen, indem sie an etwas teilnehmen, das ihre Kreativität, ihre Problemlösungsfähigkeiten und ihr kritisches Denken schärfen kann.
Genau wie unsere Absolventen des letzten Jahres haben auch sie beschlossen, einen Computerkurs für das Grunddiplom zu besuchen! Unsere Kinder aus verschiedenen Bezirken wurden von unseren jeweiligen Betreuern und Mitarbeitern in ihre Klassen aufgenommen. Wir freuen uns sehr, unsere Schüler dabei zu unterstützen, ihre Interessen zu verfolgen und Großes zu erreichen!
As you know, our children’s health is one of our most important concerns which is why our dedicated medical team work tirelessly to ensure their well-being.
Recently our godparents child, Ashok underwent heart function tests at the Pokhara Heart Clinic to assess his heart condition. Despite having no fresh complaints, the tests were done due to his Congenital heart disease and as of now, it is normal but we will be monitoring it continuously to be aware of any threats.
Our child, Kusum also had some medical issues with frequent bilateral ear ache, ear fullness, and occasional drainage. After being examined by our pediatrician, Alex Huppert, it was revealed to be a mild internal infection. She has been prescribed appropriate antibiotic in accordance to her condition for the time being.
We believe that every child deserves the best care possible, and we are committed to providing it.
🇬🇧: It’s International Labours’ Day! On this day we celebrate the achievements and contributions of workers around the world. While Labour Day is not directly associated with non-profit organizations, many non-profits advocate for workers’ rights and support initiatives that promote fair labor practices. Our Namaste Kids family have been incredibly grateful for the safe and appreciative work environments that is rendered to our workers and staffs!
We are also utterly thankful for all of the uncountable amount of work that our namaste kids family have put into the children’s welfare and to improve their living conditions. It’s great to see the connection between Labour Day and non-profit organizations in supporting workers’ well-being. Let us take this moment to applaud and celebrate all workers around the world!
🇩🇪: Heute ist der Internationale Tag der Arbeit! An diesem Tag feiern wir die Errungenschaften und Beiträge der Arbeitnehmer auf der ganzen Welt.

Unsere Namaste Kids-Familie ist unglaublich dankbar für die sichere und wertschätzende Arbeitsumgebung, die unseren Arbeitern und Angestellten geboten wird!
Wir sind auch sehr dankbar für all die unzählige Arbeit, die unsere namaste kids-Familie für das Wohlergehen der Kinder und die Verbesserung ihrer Lebensbedingungen geleistet hat. Es ist großartig, die Verbindung zwischen dem Tag der Arbeit und den gemeinnützigen Organisationen bei der Unterstützung des Wohlergehens der Arbeitnehmer zu sehen.

🇬🇧: Did you know that in Nepal, the top three students of each class are awarded with prestigious rewards for their academic achievement? 🤗Like so, we cannot miss this moment to tell you about the incredible achievements of our children from Rupandehi district. Just last week, a total of 12 of our children ranging from kinder-garden to grade 9, were honored 🗞️ with beautiful gifts, certificates and abir (red powder) on their foreheads which is used as a sign of blessing or auspiciousness!
These pictures showcase the beautiful moments captured by our Rupandehi caretaker, Saru and Akash 🙏, as our children receive their highly deserved honors consisting of notebooks, pencils, sharpener and other stationery essentials for students! We are very proud to see them achieve such milestones in their academic life and we have no doubt that they will become successful figures in the future!

Erst letzte Woche wurden insgesamt 12 unserer Kinder, vom Kindergarten bis zur 9. Klasse, mit schönen Geschenken, Urkunden und Abir (rotes Pulver) auf der Stirn, das als Zeichen des Segens oder des Glücks gilt, geehrt 🗞️!
Diese Bilder zeigen die schönen Momente, die unsere Rupandehi Hausmeister, Saru und Akash, eingefangen haben, als unsere Kinder ihre hochverdienten Auszeichnungen, bestehend aus Notizbüchern, Bleistiften, Anspitzern und anderen Schreibwaren für Kinder, erhielten! Wir sind sehr stolz darauf, dass sie solche Meilensteine in ihrem akademischen Leben erreicht haben, und wir haben keinen Zweifel, dass sie in Zukunft erfolgreich sein werden!
Just a quick reminder: If you take over a sponsorship for a child with our organisation, as godparents you can then send them letters which makes them very happy always! On the photos you can see Rosie Tamang replying to her godparent's letter. Those godparents sponsorships allow for a child to get proper education, health care and enough food, among others. DM us for more information or check out our website (link in bio) if you could consider such option. 😊 ... See MoreSee Less
🇬🇧: Our monthly distribution event was a remarkable success once again! As always, we appreciate our caretaker’s hard-work during these distributions as their dedication truly makes a huge impact upon the objective and goal of our organization. Like so, our Dhading care takers, Mamta and Sharan have done exceptional work with the monthly distribution management!
This month, food items such as rice, vegetable oil, salt, lentil, and soybean were among the most needed things so we curated these essential items for them! A collection of photos from our monthly distribution of Dhading district can be seen below 🌺

In diesem Monat gehörten Lebensmittel wie Reis, Pflanzenöl, Salz, Linsen und Sojabohnen zu den am meisten benötigten Dingen, so dass wir diese lebenswichtigen Dinge für sie zusammengestellt haben! Eine Sammlung von Fotos von unserer monatlichen Verteilung im Distrikt Dhading ist unten zu sehen 🌺
As we announced in last weekend's post, we held a special health education programme at our children's home in honour of the World Health Day. Every day, we presented an important organ system in an age-appropiate way with practical tasks and quizzes. The children seemed interested about the topics and were keen to learn more. Health is a very essential part of our work. In our work, we include regular check-ups for all supported children and of course cover the treatment and examination in the case of disease and sickness.
🇬🇧: As you know we are frequently visiting our children in their schools to gain knowledge about their studies, behavior, and so forth. Likewise, our children’s exams are also a very important element of our concern. A few weeks ago, the exams of our grade 11th and 12th children from Rupandehi district, was finally over. We have been informed that they have done very well on their papers. Since this was a pre-test known as ‘send up’ in Nepal, their actual final exam awaits them. Until then, all of our children who are currently enrolled in grade 11th and 12th will receive guidance and any support that they might need from caretakers of their respective district. We strive to provide them will all necessities that will help to overcome their obstacles regarding their final exams. Seeing their dedication towards this exams, we are certain that they will obtain flying colors in their results! 📄
🇩🇪: Wie Sie wissen, besuchen wir unsere Kinder häufig in ihren Schulen, um uns ein Bild von ihrem Unterricht, ihrem Verhalten usw. zu machen. Auch die Prüfungen unserer Kinder sind ein sehr wichtiges Element unserer Sorge. Vor einigen Wochen waren die Prüfungen der 11. und 12. Klasse unserer Kinder aus dem Distrikt Rupandehi endlich vorbei. Uns wurde mitgeteilt, dass sie bei ihren Prüfungen sehr gut abgeschnitten haben. Da es sich um einen Vortest handelte, der in Nepal als “send up” bekannt ist, steht ihnen die eigentliche Abschlussprüfung noch bevor. Bis dahin werden alle unsere Kinder, die derzeit in der 11. und 12. Klasse eingeschrieben sind, von den Betreuern ihres jeweiligen Distrikts betreut und erhalten jede Unterstützung, die sie benötigen könnten. Wir bemühen uns, sie mit allem Notwendigen zu versorgen, damit sie die Hürden für ihre Abschlussprüfungen überwinden können. Wenn wir sehen, mit welchem Engagement sie sich auf die Prüfungen vorbereiten, sind wir sicher, dass sie ihre Ergebnisse mit Bravour bestehen werden! 📄
🇬🇧: We recently established a library room in our 📚children home! Since it’s just the beginning, our collection is not totally vast, but for the mean time, there’s still enough to provide to all our children. Our reason behind establishing this library is because children may often find the knowledge of their school curriculum books 🧑🏫hard to obtain; with story books, fiction and so forth, they seem to find interest in indulging into the habit of reading and easily comprehending text studies. This can steadily and eventually help them with their reading comprehension skills, which would surely have a positive impact on their exams and therefore, grades. Few glimpses of our children browsing through our collection can be seen in the pictures! 📚❤️
🇩🇪: Wir haben vor kurzem einen Bibliotheksraum in unserem 📚Kinderheim eingerichtet! Da wir noch ganz am Anfang stehen, ist unsere Sammlung noch nicht sehr umfangreich, aber inzwischen reicht sie aus, um alle unsere Kinder zu versorgen. Der Grund für die Einrichtung dieser Bibliothek liegt darin, dass die Kinder das Wissen aus den Schulbüchern (🧑🏫hard) oft nur schwer erlangen können; mit Märchenbüchern, Belletristik usw. scheinen sie Interesse daran zu finden, sich das Lesen zur Gewohnheit zu machen und die Texte leicht zu verstehen. Dies kann ihnen helfen, ihr Leseverständnis zu verbessern, was sich sicherlich positiv auf ihre Prüfungen und damit auf ihre Noten auswirken wird. Auf den Bildern sehen Sie einige unserer Kinder, die in unserer Sammlung stöbern! 📚❤️
🇬🇧: Recently, when our child Kishan from the district of sukhlagandaki found himself in an accident where he stumbled and fell, and which resulted in a 1st grade open fracture on his lower right leg. After we were informed that nearby clinics were not equipped enough to operate on the injury, we took immediate actions and brought him into Pokhara to investigate his fracture and consult about what precautionary steps is best to take.
Eventually, we came to conclude that he is best to be operated in Kathmandu for which we also decided air travel to be the most considerate, regarding the sensitivity of the injury. As of now, we are happy to declare that Kishan’s operation went successfully well, and he is in a very stable condition with his post-operative wound closing day by day! We cannot wait to see him thrive with good health in the near future!
🇩🇪: Kürzlich hatte unser Kind Kishan aus dem Bezirk Sukhlagandaki einen Unfall, bei dem er stolperte und stürzte und sich eine offene Fraktur 1. Nachdem uns mitgeteilt wurde, dass die nahe gelegenen Kliniken nicht ausreichend ausgestattet waren, um die Verletzung zu operieren, ergriffen wir sofort Maßnahmen und brachten ihn nach Pokhara, um die Fraktur zu untersuchen und zu beraten, welche Vorsichtsmaßnahmen am besten zu ergreifen sind.
Schließlich kamen wir zu dem Schluss, dass er am besten in Kathmandu operiert werden sollte, wozu wir auch beschlossen, dass eine Flugreise angesichts der Empfindlichkeit der Verletzung am rücksichtsvollsten wäre. Heute können wir mit Freude verkünden, dass Kishans Operation erfolgreich verlaufen ist und er sich in einem sehr stabilen Zustand befindet, wobei sich seine postoperative Wunde von Tag zu Tag schließt! Wir können es kaum erwarten, ihn in naher Zukunft bei guter Gesundheit gedeihen zu sehen!
We from Namaste Kids wish you peaceful, relaxing and joyful Easter holidays! We do wish the same for our sponsored children, they deserve it.
And as we like to give our followers some cultural insights of Nepal: Although it's a minority, 1,76% of Nepalese are Christian so today, this Easter Sunday, thousands of Christians have walked the streets of Kathmandu to do mass prayers and ceremonies.
🇬🇧: Some of our organization’s children are about to embark on their SEE examination, which is equivalent to 10th grade examination in Nepal. 📚We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and dedication. 🙌 Our academically committed children have put in countless hours of studying from early mornings to late nights to prepare for this important milestone and it’s truly inspiring for us to witness such dedication in them.
As they enter this crucial phase, let’s shower them with our best wishes. 🌟💌 We can already foresee that the trust that we have put in their abilities is going to make us proud! And no matter the outcome, they are already winners in our eyes ❤️. Wishing our S.E.E students good luck, and sending our best!
🇩🇪: Einige Kinder unserer Organisation stehen kurz vor der SEE-Prüfung, die in Nepal der 10. Klasse entspricht. Wir könnten nicht stolzer auf ihre harte Arbeit und ihr Engagement sein. 🙌 Unsere akademisch engagierten Kinder haben unzählige Stunden von früh morgens bis spät abends gelernt, um sich auf diesen wichtigen Meilenstein vorzubereiten, und es ist wirklich inspirierend für uns, diese Hingabe in ihnen zu sehen.
Lassen Sie uns ihnen für diese entscheidende Phase unsere besten Wünsche mit auf den Weg geben. 🌟💌 Wir können schon jetzt absehen, dass das Vertrauen, das wir in ihre Fähigkeiten gesetzt haben, uns stolz machen wird! Und egal, wie es ausgeht, in unseren Augen sind sie bereits Gewinner ❤️. Wir wünschen unseren S.E.E.-Schülern viel Glück und grüßen sie von uns!
🇬🇧: Birthdays are such special occasions, filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments and it seems that our child, Ashik’s birthday truly lived up to that! It’s no surprise that kids love birthdays so much, which is why we never miss out on celebrating any of our children’s special days. Our district caretaker, Nirmala, did an amazing job organizing everything for the celebration. It was a fantastic gathering of Ashik’s family and friends, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Ashik even received a heartfelt letter from their godparent for which he was very much grateful! As Ashik enters this new age, we wish them all the love, happiness, and good health in the world. It was a truly blissful moment, and we feel incredibly grateful to have been a part of it. Happy birthday, Ashik! May each year ahead bring even more joy and blessings to your life. 🎈🎂
🇩🇪: Geburtstage sind ganz besondere Anlässe, gefüllt mit Freude, Lachen und unvergesslichen Momenten, und es scheint, dass der Geburtstag unseres Kindes Ashik dem wirklich gerecht wurde! Es ist keine Überraschung, dass Kinder Geburtstage so sehr lieben, weshalb wir es nie versäumen, die besonderen Tage unserer Kinder zu feiern. Unsere Bezirksbetreuerin Nirmala hat bei der Organisation des Festes ganze Arbeit geleistet. Es war ein fantastisches Zusammentreffen von Ashiks Familie und Freunden, das Erinnerungen schafft, die ein Leben lang halten werden. Ashik erhielt sogar einen aufrichtigen Brief von seinem Paten, für den er sehr dankbar war! Wir wünschen Ashik für seinen neuen Lebensabschnitt alles Liebe, Glück und Gesundheit auf der Welt. Es war ein wahrhaft glücklicher Moment, und wir sind unglaublich dankbar, dass wir daran teilhaben durften. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Ashik! Möge jedes kommende Jahr noch mehr Freude und Segen in dein Leben bringen. 🎈🎂
Our Namaste Kids sponsored children have been busy once again studying for their exams. In Nepal, the academic year begins in April and ends in April, so students are preparing for nothing less than the final exams of the year. This is the case for all ages, from primary school to high school. While there are some differences between districts when it comes to the exact execution of these exams, it is usually always a period of ten days mostly over the course of March.
Of course we have been supporting and helping all of our sponsored children in their studies to make sure they do their very best. Assuring they receive a good education is one of the most important tasks we have. We wish them luck and good grades! 🍀🍀
🇬🇧: When it comes to visiting our children, our caretakers are always prepared to discuss about their health, hygiene, emotions, education and so forth. By talking about these topics, our caretakers can teach children how to develop healthy habits, express themselves, and cope with stress. It's all about nurturing their emotional intelligence and creating a safe space for them to share their thoughts and emotions. Our caretakers also prioritize teaching our children about boundaries, consent, along with discussing healthy habits - all essential for children's overall well-being. By promoting these topics, we are able to help our children develop a strong foundation for their physical and mental health 🙏✨
🇩🇪: Wenn wir unsere Kinder besuchen, sind unsere Betreuer immer bereit, über ihre Gesundheit, Hygiene, Gefühle, Erziehung usw. zu sprechen. Indem sie über diese Themen sprechen, können unsere Betreuer den Kindern beibringen, wie sie gesunde Gewohnheiten entwickeln, sich ausdrücken und mit Stress umgehen können. Es geht darum, ihre emotionale Intelligenz zu fördern und einen sicheren Raum zu schaffen, in dem sie ihre Gedanken und Gefühle mitteilen können. Unsere Betreuerinnen und Betreuer legen auch großen Wert darauf, unseren Kindern Grenzen aufzuzeigen, ihnen zuzustimmen und über gesunde Gewohnheiten zu sprechen - all das ist wichtig für das allgemeine Wohlbefinden der Kinder. Durch die Förderung dieser Themen können wir unseren Kindern helfen, eine starke Grundlage für ihre körperliche und geistige Gesundheit zu entwickeln 🙏✨.
Sicherlich haben Sie sich alle über unser Kind Bir und seine Fortschritte gewundert. Bislang haben wir ihn dreimal pro Woche zur Psychotherapie gebracht. Diese Sitzungen bieten Bir einen sicheren Raum, um seine Gedanken und Gefühle auszudrücken, helfen ihm, Bewältigungsstrategien zu entwickeln, und verbessern sein allgemeines Wohlbefinden. Letzte Woche haben wir mit ihm auch einen kleinen Ausflug zum See gemacht, und er schien überglücklich zu sein, einen solchen Moment zu erleben.
Birs gesamte Lebens- und Betreuungskosten, von den Grundbedürfnissen bis hin zu den Physiotherapiesitzungen, werden vollständig durch die Hilfe unseres Help Shops finanziert.

Today is International Women's Day! Even in 2024, there is still a long way to go to reach true equality for all women worldwide. Even though Women's right are established as fundamental rights in Nepal's constitution, women and girls still don't have it easy in Nepal. They face major issues like Child marriage, Gender based violence, unequal representation in decision making and human trafficking.
At Namaste Kids, we work hard to create a better future for women in Nepal. Among our (voluntary) employees and care takers, there are 22 women. At the same time, we support 306 girls from 15 different district here in the country. We work hard to allow them access to education, health care, food, happiness and fortune in the same way as for our sponsored boys. We also have recent special programs like our child marriage awareness project to tackle even more of these issues.
On the photos, you can see the sisters Menuka and Premika and their grandmother from Lamjung, as well as sponsored girl Kalpana. There is also Yunika from our children's home, Bishnu and caretaker Rakhi from Gorkha and, from the Ghiring district, Muna, her mother plus caretaker Hom Maya.

In our last post, we talked about the Tihar festival which was celebrated in Nepal recently. As a little follow-up, our sponsored children Asmit, Aryan, Sumikshya and Sarjina talked about how they enjoyed the celebrations with their caretaker and made some drawings about their experience. They especially enjoyed playing Deusi Bhailo, traditional folk songs sung during Tihar accompanied by dancing from and to neighbouring homes and collecting gifts.

Tihar is known to be one of Nepal’s biggest festival. Beginning with Kaag Tihar, where crows are fed and honored, followed by Kukur Tihar, which celebrates dogs for their loyalty, continued with Gai Tihar, a day dedicated to cows, revered as sacred animals. Finally, on the fourth day which is marked as the day for ‘Laxmi Puja’—Nepalese people worship Goddess Laxmi for prosperity by decorating their homes with lots of lights and lighting oil lamps (diyo) as well as candles.
All of our children home children eagerly gave their hands to make their home beautiful and decorative. We were in bliss to see them love their culture and follow their tradition. Today marks the end of Tihar for this year and we can proudly say that our children enjoyed every bit of it! 😇🪔 ... See MoreSee Less

We love to see our sponsored children have a good time and laugh, so we wanted to share these two super cute videos with you from Sumiksha, Aryan and Asmit 🥰. They live in the Chitwan district and belong to the Chepang community, a highly marginalised indigenous group in Nepal.
In the first video you can see Aryan and Asmit play together by flipping a bottle - a simple but fun game we all know around the world, don't we? 😁
In the second video, our caretaker Ritu gave them a little riddle to solve, as they had to explain the meaning of the phrase "The elephant went inside but its tail got stuck." Can you guess what it means? 😉
The children couldn't, so Ritu revealed the mystery: It's about a thread going through a needle. 🪡 ... See MoreSee Less

As we've told you in our last post, it's been Dashain season, one of the biggest and longest traditional festivities in Nepal.

Last weekend, the children from our children's home were picked up by their parents or other family members to spend this year's Dashain festive season at home. ✨
Dashain is one of the most important festivities in Nepal. It's to commemorate the victory of the goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura and takes place over a period of two weeks. Older family members put tika (raw rice mixed with yogurt) on the forehead of younger family members along with jamara (barley seedlings) on the ear. They also give them blessings and money. The celebration is followed with gatherings of families and friends - and lot of delicious food!
These upcoming days, the children will return to our Children Home, some have returned already. We hope they have had a great and pleasant time with their families.
Happy Dashain!! 🥰 ... See MoreSee Less

🇬🇧: As you may know from our last post about our child Bishnu, she is finally attending school again after 2.5 years! After going through many obstacles and misinterpretation of her health conditions, she was initially taken out of school. However, now that we have fought together to break that barrier, we’re happy to see Bishnu taking slow steps and thriving at her new school.
We recently visited her at her school and met with her teachers and principal to know about her improvements and inquire about any difficulties she may be facing. Bishnu’s significant progress, both socially and academically makes us even more keen to support her journey forward. We will continue to do what is best for her! 🌸
🇩🇪: Wie Sie vielleicht aus unserem letzten Beitrag über unser Kind Bishnu wissen, geht sie nach 2,5 Jahren endlich wieder zur Schule! Nach vielen Hindernissen und Fehlinterpretationen ihres Gesundheitszustands wurde sie zunächst von der Schule genommen. Nachdem wir gemeinsam dafür gekämpft haben, diese Barriere zu überwinden, freuen wir uns nun, dass Bishnu langsame Schritte macht und sich in ihrer neuen Schule gut entwickelt.
Vor kurzem haben wir sie in ihrer Schule besucht und uns mit ihren Lehrern und dem Schulleiter getroffen, um uns über ihre Fortschritte und eventuelle Schwierigkeiten zu erkundigen. Bishnus beachtliche Fortschritte, sowohl im sozialen als auch im akademischen Bereich, machen es uns noch wichtiger, sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg zu unterstützen. Wir werden weiterhin das Beste für sie tun! 🌸 ... See MoreSee Less

🇬🇧: Our sponsored child, Sharmila, from Rupandehi district, has achieved a milestone by placing herself in the third position in Nepal Red Cross Circle Manimukunda sub-branch level Elocution competition. We are immensely proud of her participation in such extra curricular activities outside of her school premises and text book curriculum. This accomplishment reflects her hard work and commitment to personal growth, setting a great example for her peers and inspiring others to pursue their interests wholeheartedly. We congratulate her for this remarkable achievement and wish her the best for her future endeavors.

After a summer holiday of about one month, many of our sponsored children have returned to school these days. Our caretakers have been visiting them at their schools to see if they had done their vacation homework and also if they were performing well the first classes after having enjoyed this longer period of free time.
Wish them best of luck and success for this new school year! 🍀🤞🏻

🇬🇧: Our district caretakers play a crucial role in our organization by regularly visiting and providing daily reports on the well-being of our children. Likewise, Our Dhading district caretaker, Mamta and Sharan have reported that our Dhading children are happy and healthy! They have both been doing an amazing job engaging with our children’s lives and interest along with giving motivation for education if needed so. Moreover, they, and all our caretakers in general also cover topics like boundaries, consent, in each visit and assure their overall well-being, laying a strong foundation for the children’s physical and mental health. 🌟🙏
🇩🇪: Unsere Bezirksbetreuer spielen eine wichtige Rolle in unserer Organisation, indem sie uns regelmäßig besuchen und täglich über das Wohlergehen unserer Kinder berichten. Auch unsere Distriktbetreuerin in Dhading, Mamta und Sharan, haben berichtet, dass unsere Kinder in Dhading glücklich und gesund sind! Die beiden leisten großartige Arbeit, indem sie sich für das Leben und die Interessen unserer Kinder einsetzen und sie bei Bedarf zur Bildung motivieren. Darüber hinaus behandeln sie, wie auch alle unsere Betreuer im Allgemeinen, bei jedem Besuch Themen wie Grenzen und Einverständnis und sorgen für das allgemeine Wohlbefinden der Kinder, was eine starke Grundlage für ihre körperliche und geistige Gesundheit bildet. 🌟🙏 ...

We would like to introduce you to Bishnu from Rupandehi who is finally going back to school! We're so happy about this! But why is this a reason to be happy? 🤔
Bishnu only attended school for a total of 4 not consecutive years in her life because both her parents and the government misinterpreted her health conditions and disregarded her too quickly. 😔 She has had some mental health issues - this combined with her strabismus made them think she had some kind of cognitive disability. We believed in her rights to education and made our own diagnostic procedures which showed us that Bishnu isn't actually intellectually disabled and has a normal IQ for her age.
We therefore wanted to enroll her in the Shree Rameshowri School in Pokhara where she was refused by the principal for no legitimate reason. Luckily enough we found another good school who accepted her no issue soon after 🎉. And while we're on the topic of new beginnings: Bishnu also recently moved into our children's home!
Today, Bishnu had her first school day in 2,5 years which was very exciting for her. Bishnu will attend class 3 - being almost 16. It's a shame it has come to this but we're glad we fought for her and her rights! ✨ Leave some encouraging comments below so that Bishnu feels motivated to study hard - because if she learns quickly enough, she's allowed to skip classes! 💪🏻

🇬🇧: A few months ago, we posted about our child, Kishan, who went through a 1st grade open fracture on his lower right leg. As you may know, we brought him to Kathmandu for the best treatment possible. As of now, we are happy to announce that Kishan’s leg is in very healthy condition. Just earlier this week, he finally took off his cast and there were no signs of inflammation! He has expressed to us that he now has no pain or discomfort at the surgical site and can walk freely! We would like to serve a huge thank you to Kishan’s god parents for selflessly funding the overall expenditure along with our Namaste Kids helpshop, partially supporting the expenditure!
🇩🇪: Vor ein paar Monaten haben wir über unser Kind Kishan berichtet, der sich einen offenen Bruch des rechten Unterschenkels 1. Wie Sie vielleicht wissen, brachten wir ihn zur bestmöglichen Behandlung nach Kathmandu. Wir freuen uns, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass sich Kishans Bein inzwischen in einem sehr guten Zustand befindet. Erst Anfang dieser Woche hat er endlich seinen Gips abgenommen, und es gab keine Anzeichen einer Entzündung! Er hat uns gegenüber geäußert, dass er jetzt keine Schmerzen oder Beschwerden an der Operationsstelle hat und frei laufen kann! Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei Kishans Pateneltern bedanken, die selbstlos die gesamten Kosten übernommen haben, sowie bei unserem Namaste Kids Helpshop, der die Kosten teilweise übernommen hat! ...

🇬🇧: Birthdays mark special moments and it appears to us that our child, Sabina’s birthday truly embodied that essence! It’s no wonder that young children cherish their birthdays, prompting us never to overlook each of our children’s special occasions. Our district caretaker, Sulet, organized a remarkable event for the celebration! It was heartwarming to see Sabina’s grandparents celebrating together with her. As Sabina steps into this new chapter of life, we extend her with abundant love, joy, and well-being. It was a beautiful moment, and we, as an organization, are immensely thankful to have partaken in it. Happy birthday, Sabina! May the forthcoming years bring even more happiness and blessings to your journey. 🎈🎂

Sulet, unsere Bezirksbetreuerin, organisierte eine bemerkenswerte Veranstaltung für diese Feier! Es war herzerwärmend zu sehen, wie Sabinas Großeltern gemeinsam mit ihr feierten. Wir wünschen Sabina in ihrem neuen Lebensabschnitt viel Liebe, Freude und Wohlergehen. Es war ein schöner Moment, und wir als Organisation sind unendlich dankbar, dass wir daran teilhaben durften. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Sabina! Mögen die kommenden Jahre noch mehr Glück und Segen auf deinem Weg bringen. 🎈🎂

Yesterday, our caretakers met up with Khim Maya and Khim Bdr and their grandmother from the Lamjung district. They went to the market together and afterwards, to our office in Lamjung's district headquarters called Besishahar. According to their grandmother, even though they're on their summer vacations, they're doing their vacation homework everyday!
We also took their height and weight for the regular health check up and we're glad to learn that they seem to be of good general health ☺️.

🇬🇧: In Nepal, the month of Shrawan, is significant known as the henna mehendi season. During this time, many people, especially women, apply henna on their hands as a part of their cultural and religious practices.

🇬🇧: It’s time to celebrate!! On June 21, last Friday, it was officially the 8th anniversary of our Namaste Kids’ establishment. Over the years, our organization has made significant strides in providing essential support and opportunities to children in need. From educational initiatives to healthcare assistance, we have been able to positively impact the lives of our children in from various regions. Our journey so far has showcased our commitment to making a difference and bringing hope to those who need it most.
We celebrated this day at our children home as we believe that our children are the heart of our organization.

We were also accompanied with delicious home-made traditional food 🥘, dance and song performances, and utter happiness. We strive to continue our dedication to our organization for many years ahead!
🇩🇪: 🇬🇧: Es ist Zeit zu feiern!!! Am vergangenen Freitag, dem 21. Juni, wurde offiziell der 8. Jahrestag der Gründung von Namaste Kids gefeiert.

Soniya is going to college at the moment, though. Yadav is taking part in a computer course and Taekwondo class. Bal enjoys her free time from school but also does her vacation homework - she's so disciplined and we're proud of her! It was a nice visit for both our sponsored children and the care taker. 😊

🇬🇧: Our children natural affinity towards self-reliance in various tasks, likely influenced by their village upbringing. They independently manage activities like attending school 📚, self-care, studying, and household chores without constant reminders. Our organization significantly contributes to their moral development through our district caretakers’ consistent guidance inclusive of good morals and values, good hygiene 🪥, required nutrition and so on. With our monthly support, we are able to provide them with essential school supplies and household items for an adequate standard of living. Our nawalpur children are an exceptional example of this portrayal as viewed in the pictures! 🌸 ... See MoreSee Less

🇬🇧: As you may know, we have collaborated with Avya Club in Pokhara to extend the growth of our children physically, emotionally and artistically. Likewise, today our children from children home again had the opportunity to attend this program as they don’t have school on Saturday. We believe it is vital for children to be included in and experience the art of various activities. In this program, our children get to explore different types of sports and activities such as, taekwondo & self-defense, swimming, drawing and coloring and so forth. Moreover, this was a great opportunity for our developmental disability child, Bir Bahadur as he had the opportunity for social participation and access to developmental activities. The enthusiasm that our children have for learning in this program fills us with utter joy and gives us an opportunity to recognize their interests and make occasional plans for such events!
🇩🇪: Wie Sie vielleicht wissen, haben wir mit dem Avya Club in Pokhara zusammengearbeitet, um die körperliche, emotionale und künstlerische Entwicklung unserer Kinder zu fördern. Auch heute hatten unsere Kinder aus dem Kinderheim wieder die Gelegenheit, an diesem Programm teilzunehmen, da sie am Samstag keine Schule haben. Wir glauben, dass es für Kinder wichtig ist, in verschiedene Aktivitäten einbezogen zu werden und diese zu erleben. Bei diesem Programm können unsere Kinder verschiedene Sportarten und Aktivitäten wie Taekwondo und Selbstverteidigung, Schwimmen, Zeichnen und Malen usw. kennen lernen. Darüber hinaus war dies eine großartige Gelegenheit für unser entwicklungsbehindertes Kind Bir Bahadur, da er die Möglichkeit zur sozialen Teilhabe und zum Zugang zu entwicklungsfördernden Aktivitäten hatte. Der Enthusiasmus, mit dem unsere Kinder in diesem Programm lernen, erfüllt uns mit großer Freude und gibt uns die Möglichkeit, ihre Interessen zu erkennen und gelegentlich Pläne für solche Veranstaltungen zu machen! ...

Das übergeordnete Ziel des Programms war es, die Fähigkeiten unserer Teams zu verbessern und die Effizienz zu steigern, und wir freuen uns, dass es bereits umgesetzt wird! ... See MoreSee Less

One week ago was World Environmental Day. Although we have talked about this before on our social media channels, we consider it important to remind our followers that environmental issues pose a challenge for us. The climate crisis and other environmental crises are multifactor crises, after all - they expand over many areas of ours lives.
The children we support live far off in rural areas. They are exposed to the changing weather conditions which at the same time can make it more difficult to visit them as well or for them to get to the city for basic needs or medical attention. Higher temperatures also have negative impacts on the childrens' health and tropical diseases expand quicker than ever. We support our sponsored children in every way we can here locally but it's crucial we as humans and policymakers protect our environment and climate on a global level.

🇬🇧 On Wednesday, we celebrated Usha's birthday, one of our sponsored girls from the Gorkhan district.
Of course we had some presents for her, or better said, her godfather did: a birthday letter, photos and various summer clothes.
We love these colourful photos so much that we really wanted to share them with you! Usha was really happy that day and we think you can tell from her smile! ❤️
🇩🇪 Am Mittwoch feierten wir den Geburtstag von Usha, eines unserer geförderten Mädchen aus dem Gorkha-Distrikt.

🇬🇧: : The right to education is one of the most basic right that should be provided to a child however, it seems that it is not recognized by many. Our child, Bishnu faced a schooling rejection due to being labeled ‘mentally slow’ just because of her strabismus condition. Although, the school explained that they were compelled to differ the ongoing enrollment of older students with low graduation prospects because of high number of students, we found it to be irrational because Bishnu had been successfully passing her exams, setting her apart from many peers.
Having spent a year tending goats and doing household chores due to schooling obstacles, we aim to alter this situation. A psychiatric evaluation, crucial in this process, was planned in Pokhara for a thorough assessment by us. Subsequently, we also consulted with Bishnu’s father to explore options and plan the way forward, despite his initial discouragement towards her education and future prospects. As for now, Bishnu has been suggested to be needing specialized support, for which she will be staying in the children home for a few weeks. ... See MoreSee Less

🇬🇧: Recently, our organization’s child, Anisha Sarki visited the the hospital for a check-up as she had been complaining about some issues she had been having. After a thorough check-up, it was disclosed that her medical diagnosis was severe and she was in an urgent need of surgery.
Following this, brought her to Pokhara for further investigations and decisions regarding her surgery due to the limited hospital resources in Syangja. Today, we are happy to declare that Anisha had the surgery and it went successful! We cannot wait to follow up on her recovery process and see her thrive without any pain. As the cost for surgeries are generally high, we were able to find this surgery with our Namaste Kids help shop!
🇩🇪: Kürzlich besuchte Anisha Sarki, ein Kind unserer Organisation, das Krankenhaus, um sich untersuchen zu lassen, da sie über einige Probleme geklagt hatte, die sie hatte. Nach einer gründlichen Untersuchung wurde festgestellt, dass ihre medizinische Diagnose schwerwiegend war und sie dringend operiert werden musste.
Aufgrund der begrenzten Krankenhausressourcen in Syangja wurde sie für weitere Untersuchungen und Entscheidungen bezüglich ihrer Operation nach Pokhara gebracht. Heute können wir mit Freude verkünden, dass Anisha operiert wurde und der Eingriff erfolgreich verlaufen ist! Wir können es kaum erwarten, ihren Genesungsprozess zu verfolgen und zu sehen, wie sie ohne Schmerzen gedeiht. Da die Kosten für Operationen im Allgemeinen sehr hoch sind, konnten wir diese Operation mit Hilfe unseres Namaste Kids Help Shops finanzieren!

This Sunday May 12, it was Mother's Day in Nepal.
The family situation of our sponsored children is not always easy. Some children live in our children. home because of that. But many others still live at home. Anyhow, their mothers would love to provide for their children and offer them a better life but don't have the resources to do so. That's where we step in and help.
Through sponsorships, our Namaste kids also have a Godmother to whom they also wrote happy mothers day letters!
We acknowledge the hard work mothers so oftentimes do. For there is no love like a mother's love. ❤️

🇬🇧: Our children have yet again finished their 10th grade examination and are granted with 3 months of holiday! After a collective counseling between our caretakers and our children, we have decided that they utilize their time by participating in something that can boosts their creativity, problem-solving skills and sharpens their critical thinking abilities.
Just like our graduated children from last year, they have also decided to take basic diploma computer classes! Our children from various districts have been admitted into their classes by our respective caretakers and staff members. We’re thrilled to support our students in pursuing their interests and achieving greatness!
🇩🇪: Unsere Kinder haben wieder einmal die 10. Klasse abgeschlossen und haben nun 3 Monate Urlaub! Nach einer gemeinsamen Beratung zwischen unseren Betreuern und unseren Kindern haben wir beschlossen, dass sie ihre Zeit nutzen sollen, indem sie an etwas teilnehmen, das ihre Kreativität, ihre Problemlösungsfähigkeiten und ihr kritisches Denken schärfen kann.
Genau wie unsere Absolventen des letzten Jahres haben auch sie beschlossen, einen Computerkurs für das Grunddiplom zu besuchen! Unsere Kinder aus verschiedenen Bezirken wurden von unseren jeweiligen Betreuern und Mitarbeitern in ihre Klassen aufgenommen. Wir freuen uns sehr, unsere Schüler dabei zu unterstützen, ihre Interessen zu verfolgen und Großes zu erreichen!

As you know, our children’s health is one of our most important concerns which is why our dedicated medical team work tirelessly to ensure their well-being.
Recently our godparents child, Ashok underwent heart function tests at the Pokhara Heart Clinic to assess his heart condition. Despite having no fresh complaints, the tests were done due to his Congenital heart disease and as of now, it is normal but we will be monitoring it continuously to be aware of any threats.
Our child, Kusum also had some medical issues with frequent bilateral ear ache, ear fullness, and occasional drainage. After being examined by our pediatrician, Alex Huppert, it was revealed to be a mild internal infection. She has been prescribed appropriate antibiotic in accordance to her condition for the time being.
We believe that every child deserves the best care possible, and we are committed to providing it.

Just last week, a total of 12 of our children ranging from kinder-garden to grade 9, were honored 🗞️ with beautiful gifts, certificates and abir (red powder) on their foreheads which is used as a sign of blessing or auspiciousness!
These pictures showcase the beautiful moments captured by our Rupandehi caretaker, Saru and Akash 🙏, as our children receive their highly deserved honors consisting of notebooks, pencils, sharpener and other stationery essentials for students! We are very proud to see them achieve such milestones in their academic life and we have no doubt that they will become successful figures in the future!

Klasse, mit schönen Geschenken, Urkunden und Abir (rotes Pulver) auf der Stirn, das als Zeichen des Segens oder des Glücks gilt, geehrt 🗞️!
Diese Bilder zeigen die schönen Momente, die unsere Rupandehi Hausmeister, Saru und Akash, eingefangen haben, als unsere Kinder ihre hochverdienten Auszeichnungen, bestehend aus Notizbüchern, Bleistiften, Anspitzern und anderen Schreibwaren für Kinder, erhielten! Wir sind sehr stolz darauf, dass sie solche Meilensteine in ihrem akademischen Leben erreicht haben, und wir haben keinen Zweifel, dass sie in Zukunft erfolgreich sein werden!

Just a quick reminder: If you take over a sponsorship for a child with our organisation, as godparents you can then send them letters which makes them very happy always! On the photos you can see Rosie Tamang replying to her godparent's letter. Those godparents sponsorships allow for a child to get proper education, health care and enough food, among others. DM us for more information or check out our website (link in bio) if you could consider such option. 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

🇬🇧: Our monthly distribution event was a remarkable success once again! As always, we appreciate our caretaker’s hard-work during these distributions as their dedication truly makes a huge impact upon the objective and goal of our organization. Like so, our Dhading care takers, Mamta and Sharan have done exceptional work with the monthly distribution management!
This month, food items such as rice, vegetable oil, salt, lentil, and soybean were among the most needed things so we curated these essential items for them!
A collection of photos from our monthly distribution of Dhading district can be seen below 🌺
🇩🇪: Unsere monatliche Verteilungsveranstaltung war wieder einmal ein großer Erfolg! Wie immer schätzen wir die harte Arbeit unserer Betreuer während dieser Verteilungen, da ihr Engagement wirklich einen großen Einfluss auf die Ziele unserer Organisation hat. So haben auch unsere Betreuerinnen in Dhading, Mamta und Sharan, bei der Verwaltung der monatlichen Verteilung hervorragende Arbeit geleistet!
In diesem Monat gehörten Lebensmittel wie Reis, Pflanzenöl, Salz, Linsen und Sojabohnen zu den am meisten benötigten Dingen, so dass wir diese lebenswichtigen Dinge für sie zusammengestellt haben!
Eine Sammlung von Fotos von unserer monatlichen Verteilung im Distrikt Dhading ist unten zu sehen 🌺

As we announced in last weekend's post, we held a special health education programme at our children's home in honour of the World Health Day.
Every day, we presented an important organ system in an age-appropiate way with practical tasks and quizzes. The children seemed interested about the topics and were keen to learn more.
Health is a very essential part of our work. In our work, we include regular check-ups for all supported children and of course cover the treatment and examination in the case of disease and sickness.

🇬🇧: As you know we are frequently visiting our children in their schools to gain knowledge about their studies, behavior, and so forth. Likewise, our children’s exams are also a very important element of our concern. A few weeks ago, the exams of our grade 11th and 12th children from Rupandehi district, was finally over. We have been informed that they have done very well on their papers. Since this was a pre-test known as ‘send up’ in Nepal, their actual final exam awaits them. Until then, all of our children who are currently enrolled in grade 11th and 12th will receive guidance and any support that they might need from caretakers of their respective district. We strive to provide them will all necessities that will help to overcome their obstacles regarding their final exams. Seeing their dedication towards this exams, we are certain that they will obtain flying colors in their results! 📄
🇩🇪: Wie Sie wissen, besuchen wir unsere Kinder häufig in ihren Schulen, um uns ein Bild von ihrem Unterricht, ihrem Verhalten usw. zu machen. Auch die Prüfungen unserer Kinder sind ein sehr wichtiges Element unserer Sorge. Vor einigen Wochen waren die Prüfungen der 11. und 12. Klasse unserer Kinder aus dem Distrikt Rupandehi endlich vorbei. Uns wurde mitgeteilt, dass sie bei ihren Prüfungen sehr gut abgeschnitten haben. Da es sich um einen Vortest handelte, der in Nepal als “send up” bekannt ist, steht ihnen die eigentliche Abschlussprüfung noch bevor. Bis dahin werden alle unsere Kinder, die derzeit in der 11. und 12. Klasse eingeschrieben sind, von den Betreuern ihres jeweiligen Distrikts betreut und erhalten jede Unterstützung, die sie benötigen könnten. Wir bemühen uns, sie mit allem Notwendigen zu versorgen, damit sie die Hürden für ihre Abschlussprüfungen überwinden können. Wenn wir sehen, mit welchem Engagement sie sich auf die Prüfungen vorbereiten, sind wir sicher, dass sie ihre Ergebnisse mit Bravour bestehen werden! 📄

🇬🇧: We recently established a library room in our 📚children home! Since it’s just the beginning, our collection is not totally vast, but for the mean time, there’s still enough to provide to all our children. Our reason behind establishing this library is because children may often find the knowledge of their school curriculum books 🧑🏫hard to obtain; with story books, fiction and so forth, they seem to find interest in indulging into the habit of reading and easily comprehending text studies. This can steadily and eventually help them with their reading comprehension skills, which would surely have a positive impact on their exams and therefore, grades. Few glimpses of our children browsing through our collection can be seen in the pictures! 📚❤️
🇩🇪: Wir haben vor kurzem einen Bibliotheksraum in unserem 📚Kinderheim eingerichtet! Da wir noch ganz am Anfang stehen, ist unsere Sammlung noch nicht sehr umfangreich, aber inzwischen reicht sie aus, um alle unsere Kinder zu versorgen. Der Grund für die Einrichtung dieser Bibliothek liegt darin, dass die Kinder das Wissen aus den Schulbüchern (🧑🏫hard) oft nur schwer erlangen können; mit Märchenbüchern, Belletristik usw. scheinen sie Interesse daran zu finden, sich das Lesen zur Gewohnheit zu machen und die Texte leicht zu verstehen. Dies kann ihnen helfen, ihr Leseverständnis zu verbessern, was sich sicherlich positiv auf ihre Prüfungen und damit auf ihre Noten auswirken wird. Auf den Bildern sehen Sie einige unserer Kinder, die in unserer Sammlung stöbern! 📚❤️

🇬🇧: Recently, when our child Kishan from the district of sukhlagandaki found himself in an accident where he stumbled and fell, and which resulted in a 1st grade open fracture on his lower right leg. After we were informed that nearby clinics were not equipped enough to operate on the injury, we took immediate actions and brought him into Pokhara to investigate his fracture and consult about what precautionary steps is best to take.
Eventually, we came to conclude that he is best to be operated in Kathmandu for which we also decided air travel to be the most considerate, regarding the sensitivity of the injury. As of now, we are happy to declare that Kishan’s operation went successfully well, and he is in a very stable condition with his post-operative wound closing day by day! We cannot wait to see him thrive with good health in the near future!
🇩🇪: Kürzlich hatte unser Kind Kishan aus dem Bezirk Sukhlagandaki einen Unfall, bei dem er stolperte und stürzte und sich eine offene Fraktur 1. Nachdem uns mitgeteilt wurde, dass die nahe gelegenen Kliniken nicht ausreichend ausgestattet waren, um die Verletzung zu operieren, ergriffen wir sofort Maßnahmen und brachten ihn nach Pokhara, um die Fraktur zu untersuchen und zu beraten, welche Vorsichtsmaßnahmen am besten zu ergreifen sind.
Schließlich kamen wir zu dem Schluss, dass er am besten in Kathmandu operiert werden sollte, wozu wir auch beschlossen, dass eine Flugreise angesichts der Empfindlichkeit der Verletzung am rücksichtsvollsten wäre. Heute können wir mit Freude verkünden, dass Kishans Operation erfolgreich verlaufen ist und er sich in einem sehr stabilen Zustand befindet, wobei sich seine postoperative Wunde von Tag zu Tag schließt! Wir können es kaum erwarten, ihn in naher Zukunft bei guter Gesundheit gedeihen zu sehen!

We from Namaste Kids wish you peaceful, relaxing and joyful Easter holidays! We do wish the same for our sponsored children, they deserve it.
And as we like to give our followers some cultural insights of Nepal: Although it's a minority, 1,76% of Nepalese are Christian so today, this Easter Sunday, thousands of Christians have walked the streets of Kathmandu to do mass prayers and ceremonies.

🇬🇧: Some of our organization’s children are about to embark on their SEE examination, which is equivalent to 10th grade examination in Nepal. 📚We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and dedication. 🙌 Our academically committed children have put in countless hours of studying from early mornings to late nights to prepare for this important milestone and it’s truly inspiring for us to witness such dedication in them.
As they enter this crucial phase, let’s shower them with our best wishes. 🌟💌 We can already foresee that the trust that we have put in their abilities is going to make us proud! And no matter the outcome, they are already winners in our eyes ❤️. Wishing our S.E.E students good luck, and sending our best!

It’s no surprise that kids love birthdays so much, which is why we never miss out on celebrating any of our children’s special days. Our district caretaker, Nirmala, did an amazing job organizing everything for the celebration. It was a fantastic gathering of Ashik’s family and friends, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Ashik even received a heartfelt letter from their godparent for which he was very much grateful! As Ashik enters this new age, we wish them all the love, happiness, and good health in the world. It was a truly blissful moment, and we feel incredibly grateful to have been a part of it. Happy birthday, Ashik! May each year ahead bring even more joy and blessings to your life. 🎈🎂

Our Namaste Kids sponsored children have been busy once again studying for their exams. In Nepal, the academic year begins in April and ends in April, so students are preparing for nothing less than the final exams of the year. This is the case for all ages, from primary school to high school.
While there are some differences between districts when it comes to the exact execution of these exams, it is usually always a period of ten days mostly over the course of March.
Of course we have been supporting and helping all of our sponsored children in their studies to make sure they do their very best. Assuring they receive a good education is one of the most important tasks we have.
We wish them luck and good grades! 🍀🍀

🇬🇧: When it comes to visiting our children, our caretakers are always prepared to discuss about their health, hygiene, emotions, education and so forth. By talking about these topics, our caretakers can teach children how to develop healthy habits, express themselves, and cope with stress. It's all about nurturing their emotional intelligence and creating a safe space for them to share their thoughts and emotions. Our caretakers also prioritize teaching our children about boundaries, consent, along with discussing healthy habits - all essential for children's overall well-being. By promoting these topics, we are able to help our children develop a strong foundation for their physical and mental health 🙏✨
🇩🇪: Wenn wir unsere Kinder besuchen, sind unsere Betreuer immer bereit, über ihre Gesundheit, Hygiene, Gefühle, Erziehung usw. zu sprechen. Indem sie über diese Themen sprechen, können unsere Betreuer den Kindern beibringen, wie sie gesunde Gewohnheiten entwickeln, sich ausdrücken und mit Stress umgehen können. Es geht darum, ihre emotionale Intelligenz zu fördern und einen sicheren Raum zu schaffen, in dem sie ihre Gedanken und Gefühle mitteilen können. Unsere Betreuerinnen und Betreuer legen auch großen Wert darauf, unseren Kindern Grenzen aufzuzeigen, ihnen zuzustimmen und über gesunde Gewohnheiten zu sprechen - all das ist wichtig für das allgemeine Wohlbefinden der Kinder. Durch die Förderung dieser Themen können wir unseren Kindern helfen, eine starke Grundlage für ihre körperliche und geistige Gesundheit zu entwickeln 🙏✨.

Sicherlich haben Sie sich alle über unser Kind Bir und seine Fortschritte gewundert. Bislang haben wir ihn dreimal pro Woche zur Psychotherapie gebracht. Diese Sitzungen bieten Bir einen sicheren Raum, um seine Gedanken und Gefühle auszudrücken, helfen ihm, Bewältigungsstrategien zu entwickeln, und verbessern sein allgemeines Wohlbefinden. Letzte Woche haben wir mit ihm auch einen kleinen Ausflug zum See gemacht, und er schien überglücklich zu sein, einen solchen Moment zu erleben.
Birs gesamte Lebens- und Betreuungskosten, von den Grundbedürfnissen bis hin zu den Physiotherapiesitzungen, werden vollständig durch die Hilfe unseres Help Shops finanziert. Folgen Sie Namaste Kids, um aktuelle Informationen über unsere Kaschmirdecken und -schals zu erhalten, und klicken Sie auf den Link im Text, um sie zu kaufen! Unterstützen Sie eine großartige Sache!

Today is International Women's Day!
Even in 2024, there is still a long way to go to reach true equality for all women worldwide. Even though Women's right are established as fundamental rights in Nepal's constitution, women and girls still don't have it easy in Nepal. They face major issues like Child marriage, Gender based violence, unequal representation in decision making and human trafficking.
At Namaste Kids, we work hard to create a better future for women in Nepal. Among our (voluntary) employees and care takers, there are 22 women. At the same time, we support 306 girls from 15 different district here in the country. We work hard to allow them access to education, health care, food, happiness and fortune in the same way as for our sponsored boys. We also have recent special programs like our child marriage awareness project to tackle even more of these issues.
On the photos, you can see the sisters Menuka and Premika and their grandmother from Lamjung, as well as sponsored girl Kalpana. There is also Yunika from our children's home, Bishnu and caretaker Rakhi from Gorkha and, from the Ghiring district, Muna, her mother plus caretaker Hom Maya.
