CHANCE for Nepal

Past Events

June 2008 fundraising results

Julia Robin kindly held a Frock Exchange Party with a delicious lunch for 25 guests on the 11th June for C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal which raised £741.

The charity Golf Day on the 25th June at Wildwood Golf Club raised close to £5,000. 60 golfers played and a great day was enjoyed by all, culminating with dinner, an auction and prize giving. An anonymous benefactor has pledged to make this up to £10,000 which is fantastic.

In October 2007 C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal raised £23,500 through a dinner with an ‘Auction of Promises’.

Shenpen

  • £3,000 for the Bir Hospital Burns Unit.
  • £3,500 for educational sponsorship at Pegasus School, Shangri-La School and Maitri Griha children’s home in Kathmandu, including a qualified teacher at Pegasus School.
  • £2,500 for the Street Children in Kathmandu.
  • £1,200 for a mobile medical clinic which visits remote villages in the Kathmandu Valley.

  • £600 for rabies injections for the stray dogs in Bungamati and Khakana (two villages south of Kathmandu).

Other projects 2007-2008

C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal is supporting the Triple Gem Foundation School and hostel in Kathmandu.

  • £500 was given to provide a new outside toilet block for the 500 children at the school. The present one was a dilapidated small brick building with no running water, just two holes in the ground, offering little privacy and a trough of water for all the children to wash their hands in, thereby spreading infection.
  • £200 for a library to be created at the school. Books, art materials and bean bags have been purchased for the children to relax and enjoy the magical world of reading. The children only had exercise books and now have Nepalese and English literature books for which they are delighted.
  • £4,000 from English sponsors for child sponsorship at Pegasus School in Kathmandu.

C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal set up an educational sponsorship programme in April 2007 with English sponsors at Pegasus School in Kathmandu. Each month the Challenger Magazine which is distributed around Surrey and West Sussex features a child seeking educational sponsorship. To date, sixteen boarding places and three day scholars have been sponsored. We are constantly seeking new sponsors for the many children, often orphaned or with parents who cannot afford their education to give them a right to an education.
