A few days ago, Bipana enjoyed a lovely day out with some of the BVS team (Burns Violence Survivors). She received presents and clothes and had a lovely time. The team from BVS looked after her so well when she was in the burns unit at the Kanti Children’s Hospital for many months after suffering horrendous burns when she fell on to an open fire.Bipana has now been in the care of Papa’s Children’s Home which CHANCE has been supporting for over five years. She is thriving and happy. Her school reports could not be any better. Bipana is very special and endears herself to all who come into contact with her.She has an English sponsor through CHANCE.

When Anamika (Shenpens Coordinator) visited the Kanti Childrens Hospital last week to give every child on the burns unit a Goody Bag, funded by CHANCE for Nepal, there were 7 children on the ward.Mina is 5 years old and has two brothers. They live in Bhaktapur which is around 2 hours drive from the Kanti. She was helping her mother prepare breakfast by cutting up the vegetables to deep fry (Pakadda). The pot containing the hot oil was not properly on the burner and the pan of hot oil tipped over. She suffered 7%, 2nd degree burns to her leg. Mina’s father is staying on the ward with his daughter and her mother is back at home looking after her brothers.
Mina told Anamika she wants to be a dancer when she grows up.Jiten is 12 months old and has an older brother. The family are from Karve around six hours drive from Kathmandu. Her mother had boiled up milk and placed it on the table to cool. Jiten accidentally knocked it over and suffered 5%, 2nd degree burns to her arm and hand.It is hard for us to comprehend how such accidents happen with such regularity and so many appear through carelessness.
Therefore, it is important to appreciate that in many cases the stove is an open fire in the middle of the one room the family live in. No western style cookers, with handles out of reach of little fingers! Mother may have several small children running around, as children do! It is the monsoon season, so much rain, the children cannot play outside much of the time during the rains. Small children usually sleep with their parents, no play areas. A mother takes her eye off her children just for a minute, or goes outside to fetch water and these accidents happen all too frequently.You can see both Mina and Jiten each with one of the hundreds of hand knitted comfort dolls which I take out with me each year. Last week a large bag of beautifully knitted teddies and dolls, along with baby hats and gloves for older children, knitted by Jenny Saban arrived for my forth coming trip in November. I often come home and find a bag of dolls on the door step! They ALL find there way to bring comfort to children on the burns unit, or in kindergarten classes in schools or on medical camps for children. Thank you to everyone who has knitted for CHANCE. Over the years thousands have found a loving pair of hands.

The second Skills Training, funded by CHANCE for NEPAL and organised by the Women’s Cooperative Society (WCS), took place over four days from the 5th to the 8th of August in Changunarayan- Halchowk, which is a village near Bhaktapur, on the outskirts of Kathmandu Valley. The training was in a remote area and this was the first time such training had ever been given for vegetable farming by any NGO or cooperative.The basic training was instruction on growing unseasonal vegetables. The trainers, Mina Thapa and Gagan Singh K.C. where chosen as they know about the area, the soil conditions and the plants and crops suitable for that area. It is preferable to use local people and local resources in the trainings as they are easily available and can be more effective.The objectives of the trainings carried out were:
• Basic vegetables farming, its importance and necessities in the present context.
• Knowledge of diseases and bacteria that affects vegetables and how to control them.
• Instruction to the trainees how to make good soil that will be suitable for productive vegetable growth.
• Ways of making organic fertilizer and different types of compost.
• How to make small tunnels to give protection to the seeds from the harsh elements.Anamika, (Shenpen’s coordinator, our partner on the ground) who attended the training and sent me the report, was pleased to see emphasis was placed on the importance of making fertilizers without using chemicals which was effective and easy to make. Garlic, onion, chilies and plant leaves were ground into a paste and then boiled for 45 minutes, after which they add this to four parts water and the fertilizer is ready.The women were eager to learn, were appreciative and enjoyed the training. They wanted to put their learning into practice. Most of them had a small piece of land and were growing vegetables to feed themselves but after taking the training and with a small loan through WCS they were keen to put into practice their new found skills, working as a team with other women from the village, to cultivate the land and grow vegetables to sell, thus helping their village and with the potential of earning enough money to educate one or more of their children.There will be further advanced trainings given, which will cover all aspects on the management side of running a small business. This was the second of 5 - four day trainings before the end of the year.

CHANCE is passionate about helping this brilliant organisation. Mountain Heart Nepal. The medical camps are so vital right now with the monsoon causing landslides and extensive flooding giving way or water-born deceases.[Child health screening and preventive health camp at Bhaktapur]

Mountain Heart Nepal successfully conducted child health screening program and a general preventive camp at Bhaktapur-7, Mahakhel, Nagadesh on 28th July 2018.

The camp was primarily targeted to those individuals living in the temporary settlement campsites because of the prospect for an outbreak of communicable diseases following the flooding that occurred in the area. Despite being close to the capital, people were ignorant and least concerned about their well-being.

Five doctors and a nurse from Mountain Heart Nepal examined and provided prescription refills to 150 children and 200 adults. The camp continued from 7 a.m. until p.m. All children underwent growth and anthropometric measurements as a measure for nutritional assessment, along with prompt management of an acute infectious illness. Ear and throat infections were the common complaint among the children, attributed to the poor hygiene, overcrowding, and inadequate ventilation. The parents received comprehensive counseling on the preventive measures and need for maintaining hygiene and sanitation standards.

In addition, problems of dental carries, poor feeding, and malnutrition were also frequently encountered. One of the children was found to have a congenital inguinal hernia which was referred to the hospital for further evaluation and needful management.

Moreover, our preventive health check-up for adults and the elderly involved screening for hypertension, high blood sugar, and general conditions. Twenty patients were found to have severely elevated have high blood sugar and blood pressure. They were stabilized and counseled regarding the need for further evaluation. Similarly, positional low back pain and acid peptic diseases were frequent complaints amongst the elderly.

The clinic concluded with a remark from the mayor of the Bhaktapur Municipality who praised the organizer and sponsors for such a novel program. We would like to thank Chance for Nepal and Direct Relief for supporting our program. ... See MoreSee Less

Burn Violence Survivors (BVS) have sent me their monthly report for July. In total 55 Nutritional Food Baskets which we fund were given out for the month of July.In the monthly school presentations where a team from BVS go and speak to students from grade 7 upwards. BVS tells me 43 of them had heard the monthly radio broadcast which is good news. Some of the students were interviewed after the presentation and will be featured on the next transmission in August. Each programme lasts for 30 minutes and doctors, nurses, parents and the patients themselves also contribute to the broadcast. Both the presentation and the broadcasts are funded by CHANCE.Two of the children on the burns unit during the month of July were Norbu and Sujan. Names changed for protection.Norbu is 3 years old and by the look on his face, he is a boy with attitude!
He comes from Dharding, a 5-hour drive from Kathmandu. His father is a technician and his mother a housewife. His uncle, who was looking after him at the time of the accident had placed some very hot water on the floor to cool down after boiling eggs. Norbu accidently put his left hand in the very hot water and got burnt. He is well on the mend and soon to be discharged.
Sujan is 8 months old and comes from Mugu, 360kms from Kathmandu. His father works on a farm and his mother is a housewife. Sujan has an older brother and sister. His father is staying with him in hospital.Sujan’s parents had gone to the farm and left Sujan sleeping near the open-cooking fire. When he woke up he started playing and accidently put his hands into the ashes! He was immediately rushed to the health post where he was given first-aid treatment and was transferred to the Zonal Hospital, the closest hospital to where he lives. Due to the lack of specialised burn care, he was transferred again to the Kanti Children Hospital. The severity of the burn to his left hand was so deep that tragically he needed to have his fingers amputated. This is of course life changing and he is only 8 months old! He also had a debridement and a skin graft. The Herrod Foundation supports CHANCE for skin grafts and this was one such case that received their help.If anyone would like to support the burns unit at The Kanti through CHANCE or would like further information please email us: info@chancefornepal.orgYour help can make a massive difference, for example, some new toys or childrens videos for the playroom on the burns unit. Support a family with some clothes. Donations for the emergency fund, to help patients and their parents return to their village, buy medicines and food as sometimes home can be over a days travel away.

A brilliant turn out for our CHANCE Quiz Night this evening at The Keep in Guildford. We had a record number of players, 43, and raised a record £525!!! We were fortunate to have two tables in the adjoining delightful intimate garden on such a blissfully warm evening.

Huge thanks, as ever, to Jane and Brian, the landlords of The Keep in Guildford, who gave everyone a complimentary delicious chili supper, (one of Brain's tonight). They both work so hard to make the quiz nights fun for us all. Thank you, Clare, behind the bar, who also read out the questions.
Huge thanks too, go to Tim Skinner, Landlord of The Three Crowns at Wisborough Green who gave us a £50 voucher for lunch or dinner as our star raffle prize. Thank you to so many of you who brought along a raffle prize. I feel truly blessed to have such generous support from so many.

Besides raising funds this evening to continue the sponsorship of Bijetta and Adesh, two children sponsored for their education in Nepal by Jane and Brian with the support of the quiz nights, we were also raising funds for Mountain Heart Nepal (MHN) for their education programme which CHANCE is supporting. On each medical camp they organise in remote areas, after the children have received their medical check, they are given a reading book. This is a wonderful initiative. ... See MoreSee Less

CHANCE is delighted to fund Skills Training for the Womens Cooperative Society (WCS) through SHENPEN, our partner on the ground in Nepal. Being involved with WCS for the past 10 years means that hundreds of women have received both intermediate and advanced training in growing vegetables, making natural insecticides, and managing to turn their training into a profitable business which enables them to educate their children, help their family and their village.There may be several women from the same village, each having taken a small load through WCS. They work together, so some may grow tomatoes and radish and maybe another, cauliflower, potatoes, chilies. Visiting one of the trainings on my annual visits, it is inspiring to see the pride and sense of achievement and above all empowerment these trainings give the women who attend them.Thank you SHENPEN, for all the photos below. Anamika, SHENPENs coordinator visits the trainings and will be accompanying me this November to one of them. There will be a further four trainings, lasting four days before the end of the year. This is such a brilliant project for CHANCE to support.

Therefore we delivered stationary books to about 300 children at a local school in Bhaktapur on the 19th of July. The objective was to bring the excitement and joy of reading and improve school attendance particularly after the flooding that occurred in the area.

CHANCE for NEPAL is delighted to fund the medicines for this emergency medical camp as a result of the monsoon conditions in Bhaktapur.Mountain Heart Nepal recently conducted a preventive mobile medical camp in 19th July 2018 to tackle any outbreak of epidemics from the flooding that occurred last week in Bhaktapur-4. The area was heavily flooded triggered by monsoon rain. The clinic was convoyed precisely for people living in temporary settlement camps around Bhaktapur. Notably, MHN was the first responder to mobilize for the response program.

Four doctors from Mountain Heart Nepal examined and treated more than 200 adults and children. We also received assistance from two local paramedics from the nearby health post. Essential medications were distributed on site free of cost.

People commonly presented with skin problems such as allergy, bacterial and fungal infection due to exposure to polluted water precipitated by flooding. The meager hygiene along with the failure of extraction of trash from around the valley over the last few weeks further intensified the infirmity. Patients were prescribed with antibacterial, and antifungals when required and advised for decent hygiene and sanitation.

Majority of the patients attended with problems of gastroenteritis presumably due to contamination of water reservoirs following the flooding. They were prescribed with essential medications, along with instruction regarding proper water purification techniques and adequate intake of fluids.

The local health workers and officials were made cautious about the likelihood of an outbreak of the waterborne illnesses and need for measures to be followed. Moreover, our comprehensive screening identified current hypertension, high blood glucose level, respiratory infections, ear infections, chronic gastritis, low back pain as usual. Patients received medications along with direction regarding the dietary and lifestyle modifications.

We would like to thank CHANCE FOR NEPAL (UK) and Direct Relief for supporting our mobile camp. ... See MoreSee Less

So humbling to read and share your post Melanie. Chance is so happy to fund this project. XxDid you know that more than 5,000 children every day (or 1.7 million children every year!) die from diarrheal diseases before the age of five? According to UNICEF, diarrhoea is the second most common cause of death in children accounting for 18% of all under-five deaths.

The good news is that simple actions as washing hands are now seen as very effective means of controlling such disease.

Thanks to Chance for Nepal for sponsoring water and soap to MAV! Your simple action can save lives! ... See MoreSee Less
