Happy Children, Happy School- CHANCE for NEPAL has been supporting Triple Gem School for over 12years, which is under the fantastic leadership of Lama Kondan, the headmaster. Right now we have 6 children there, receiving educational sponsorship. We support a daily cup of warm milk for the lower school. You can see all the children are wearing a hat to keep warm during classes as it is now winter time and very cold. No heating in classrooms, as in the West. This school holds a special place in my heart. I love the title.....paper tearing , pasting , grapes and ostriches, what is there not to enjoy!#Friday_fun_by_LKG(A+B)😍😍😍

This is so lovely. Every month, CHANCE for NEPAL funds an activity for all the children in Papa's Home to enjoy. This may be a visit to the swimming pool, always popular but as it is winter and the pool is outdoors, too cold right now. It may be a a trip to the cinema, the zoo, a picnic in the park, or like today, a chocolate feast,(chosen by the children!!!) don't forget extra toothbrushing is needed this evening! and a speech competition. The children all had a meeting and chose a monthly activity for 2019. They then sent their choices to me for the thumbs up! Credit to Lalit and Dhanusha for making Papa's Home a special place for the children to thrive. This is so lovely to watch and brings tears to my eyes. Their English is so good and I just wish I was there to give them all a hug. Do watch the video.Papa's Child Care Home On special Chocolate day "VFN CHILD CLUB" Organized the Monthly activities of february

CHANCE for NEPAL is delighted to continue our support to this brilliant organisation. Having been on one of their medical teams last November, I saw first hand the wonderful work they do. For this latest medical camp CHANCE funded the medicines and the educational books given to all the childrenRammaya, age 56, is a single woman living in Nuwakot district-06. She earns her living by selling Spinach and fruits, but recently she had difficulty continuing her work because of fever and severe pain over the tummy. She could not afford or travel to attend a health check-up for her condition in town and was waiting for a miracle. 

She participated in a mobile clinic organized in her village on 18 January 2019 after hearing about it from a radio. She was relieved to know that she was being treated for urinary tract infection free of cost. However, if she hadn't been for a health check-up, her condition would have got worse and she could have suffered from kidney damage. 

The service provided by the Mountain Heart Nepal has left a memorable imprint on her mind, providing benefit to her. Free medical camps such as these are extremely helpful for people like her who earn a meager income and cannot afford expensive healthcare services offered by hospitals or clinics. 

Over 100 adults and 150 school children received free health screening and consultation by four doctors in this outreach clinic held at Kakani Rural Municipality-06, Maajhgaun Chaturale, Nuwakot on 18 January 2019. The clinical was supported by CHANCE for Nepal and Direct Relief. The children of the Shree Bramhayani Basic School were provided with health-related secondary textbooks in hand to promote health and disease awareness. Each family also received a vaseline, and body wash received from Direct Relief. ... See More See Less
There were 15 children on the burns unit at the Kanti Children’s Hospital when Anamika, Shenpen’s coordinator, our partner on the ground in Nepal, made her twice monthly visit to the unit to give out 'Goody Bags' to the children which are funded by CHANCE. Amir is almost a year old and comes from Lamjung which is 190kms from Kathmandu. He lives with his parents and older brother. His mother had boiled water and placed it on the table to cool so she could give Amir a bath. By accident, Amir dipped his hand into the hot water and suffered 3rd degree burns to his hand. He will need surgery, a debridement. Here he is in happy mode in the playroom in one of the toy cars CHANCE funded two years ago. Dipek is 6 years. He lives with his parents and brother and sister in Kavre, three and a half hours drive from Kathmandu. He and his friends lit an open fire to keep warm, and Dipek got too close and his trousers caught fire and burnt his leg. He suffered 24% - 2nd degree burns. He will most likely need surgery. Both children are recovering well. It is winter in Kathmandu and very cold, open fires are lit in the homes to keep warm as well as cooking on. ... See More See Less

CHANCE for NEPAL is delighted to support ‘Magic Read’ with Mountain Heart Nepal. Having seen first hand, being on one of their medical camps last November, I know how important these books are for the children. Text books are such a luxury in Nepal, especially in remote areas. Teachers, parents and children see them as a great treasure.Earlier in 2018, Mountain Heart initiated a project with support from CHANCE for Nepal to distribute health-related textbooks in the hands of young children. This was aimed to foster the acquisition of health-related knowledge and improve early reading success in children. 

The early years are critical for children as it is the time when linguistic and cognitive systems are developing and becoming interdependent. At this important juncture, book reading has special power to have an enduring impact on the child’s development, particularly, on the language and the concepts. However, most parents in rural Nepal do not spontaneously make the most of the opportunities that books present, mostly because of their higher cost. As a consequence, children routinely do not have access to high-quality secondary textbooks. 

Therefore, we specifically targeted this critical time to create a lasting impact on a child’s health by increasing access to secondary textbooks related to health and personal hygiene. Further, the distribution of books is accompanied by mobile outreach clinics, which helps to address any acute health issues among children and provide guidance for reading as well as the importance of personal hygiene. 

Keeping with that, we continued our mobile preventive health program in Kakani Rural Municipality-06, Maajhgaun Chaturale, Nuwakot on 18 January, 2019. The health-related secondary textbooks were distributed in the same venue to 150 school children of Shree Bramhayani Basic School. We would like to thank Barbara Datson for raising funds for the books through the quiz night. ... See More See Less
Circus brings smiles to the burn’s unit at the Kanti Children’s Hospital. There were 15 children on the ward when Anamika made her fortnightly visit to the burns unit to hand out the ‘Goody Bags’ funded by CHANCE. When she arrived, all the children having fun with two volunteers from the Circus of Kathmandu who were entertaining the children. Circus Kathmandu is Nepal’s first and most talent-rich contemporary circus company and one of the nation’s most unique social enterprises. They visit the burns unit and other wards in the hospital each week. They certainly brought smiles to the children last Friday. Maya aged 2 and comes from Surkhet which lies around 360kms from Kathmandu. She lives with her parents and two brothers. Maya was outside with her parents, warming herself on an open fire. Her parents went into the house to fetch something and Maya fell into the fire. Tragically 30% of her tiny body suffered 3rd degree burns. She has been on the unit for 7 weeks so far and is getting much better. You can see here, she is delighted to receive a large teddy bear. The doctors are deciding if she needs further surgery. Amit is aged 10 and he lives with his family, a brother and two sisters in Kavre which is about an hour and a half outside Kathmandu. Amit was lighting a fire with his friends to keep warm and accidentally burnt his leg. His elder sister is staying on the ward with him. He suffered 22% 1st degree burns. Thank you Anamika for sharing, I know the children love your visit as you come bearing gifts for them. ... See More See Less
FANTASTIC RESULT from our Quiz Night We had 32 players and raised a brilliant £375! It gets better!…….We were raising funds for Mountain Heart Nepal's medical mission which is tomorrow! CHANCE for NEPAL is funding the medicines for this health camp and we wanted to continue our support with the educational text books which are given out at the end of the camp. These carefully chosen books are given out according to the class of the child, to improve school attendance and promote health and disease awareness. The children love them, as do their parents and teachers. The books are llike a dose of happy medicine. The cost of the books per medical camp is around £500, so, we were £125 short of our target! David and Jenny a couple who have been to almost every quiz night since they started over 6 years ago said they would donate the extra funds needed….FANTASTIC and THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will be posting about the mission in the coming days. Thank you so much to all who supported by coming along, buying raffle tickets and bringing raffle prizes. It was a great evening. The Keep in Guildford where the quiz nights are held is cosy and inviting. Jane and Brian the landlords make it a really fun evening for everyone. They give a delicious complimentary chili and rice supper. Many thanks also go to Lee, Landlord of the Britannia in Guildford who gave the star raffle prize of a £50 voucher for lunch or dinner, a great dining experience.

We love supporting GMIN in this programme. Education is a child’s passport to a brighter future, what better way then through books. Funding the salary of a librarian means the library is open during the school day which had made a significant difference to the amount of children using this excellent facility. We are always looking for funding to top up books in several libraries we support. Please contact us if you would like to help.Once again we would like to thank Chance for Nepal [Uk] for donating NRs. 20,000 to buy more books and floor mats. Chance for Nepal has in the past also supported us to buy books and furniture and also covers salary of a librarian in this school. This was the 8th school where we built 4 new classrooms in 2010 and have an ongoing sponsor program for 20 underprivilged children. This library because of the librarian to keep the library open and large variety of pictured books, even students from the private boarding school visit the library after their school hours. ...

CHANCE for NEPAL is delighted to fund the skills training for over 12 years now with Shenpen. By empowering women to have their own small business with a loan from WCS, enables them to make sufficient funds from selling their crops to educate one or more of their children.Skills training at Lagankhel!

WONDERFUL NEWS for a great start to 2019! Peter and Rosie Gent having looked at our website and liked what they saw have donated funds which will build a new school building consisting of four classrooms for Shree Siddheswori Secondary High School in Sanney, Vidhyapur, Surkhet. This is a government school with 10 classes but the forms 1-5 for the younger children were deemed unsafe for use. GMIN, a trusted and brilliant organisation who we have worked with for many years when we funded two other schools in 2017 and 2018 will build the school building. This being their 42nd school to date. This is a real boost to the school which is in a remote area, happy teachers, happy children. I met up with Peter and Rosie last week to discuss the finer details and we are hoping for completion before the monsoon starts in June. The cost of the school is £7,500 which includes Gift Aid. CHANCE for NEPAL will fund a 4-day Teacher Training which will include teachers from this school, and other teachers from other village schools in the ward. Those attending are given accommodation and food for the duration of the course. Each Teacher Training costs £800. This will be CHANCE for NEPAL's 4th Teacher Training. Very exciting!

We are delighted to support Mountain Heart Nepal both with the educational books and by funding medicines for the health camps. Thanks go to Ivy Tan for funding these educational, informative and colourful text books for the last three health camps. The children love them. We are looking for funding in 2019 to continue to provide these super books. Please contact us through info@chancefornepal if you would like to help.Saroj, a 9 -year-old boy never had seen textbooks with colorful pictures explaining about good health and hygiene. Through the funds provided by Chance for Nepal, we distributed properly selected appropriate textbooks to the school children of Tamlingbhanjyang Secondary School during our outreach clinic held at Sunkoshi rural municipality, ward no 3; Tamling Vanjyang, Sindhuli on 21 December 2018.

Great Anamika, lovely to see the children have an extra special 'Goody Bag', as it is Christmas. Spending Christmas in hospital is difficult for any child. This project is now in its 8th year. That's over 3000 'Goody Bags' given since our project started. That's over 3000 knitted dolls made with love for tiny hands! Thanks to all my knitters. HAPPY CHRISTMAS XXIn the spirit of Christmas, Rangjung Yeshe Shenpen wants to entertain and give love to the patients at Kanti Children's Hospital-Burns Unit! 
Children were joyous in receiving the toys that were given to them in Goody Bag.🎄

Our heartfelt thanks to the very compassionate and caring supporters of Chance for Nepal (UK) whose gift of a unique Goody Bag', which we offer to the hospital’s young patients twice each month, brings much-needed relief, comfort, and happiness to the children. 🎈🌞🎀🛍 ... See More See Less
