Nepal Update. English post.

The earthquake hasn’t just killed people and destroyed houses, but has left a country that had lots of problems already before in a desastrous situation of poverty. Not enough, this year the Monsoon-rains have flooded and created problems in Nepal more than the last years.

The old school, where the children received a schooling and much warm attention by the teachers, volunteering and specialized, has also been destroyed by the earthquake. Fortunately nobody has been killed or injured, since it happened, when nobody was at school.

Because of the afterquakes that lasted for longer than 8 months, the government hasn’t given any permission to rebuild the buildings.

With the money we had sent, a kind of school with wooden walls and a tinroof was constructed, so that the lessons could continue at a certain point without danger. In October 2016 , we faced the possibility of a real construction of a school again, but soon we understood, that in the meantime the prices for building-material and transport from India had risen so incredibly much, that we have to delay this project to an unknown date, when prices will return to normality.

We just cannot afford it at the moment and try to raise money for being able one day to offer these children a real school for a better future.
