Stationery Campaign

6/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Giving Circle is a group of teachers from government school, contributing their time and effort to bring about change in their community. In government schools many students are unable to afford the notebooks needed for their school work which often leads to dropouts of students. Therefore in this beginning of academic year the circle has identified the need of stationery for students.

It costs Rs 3,000 to provide notebooks needed for an academic year to 10 students.

                                                     You can be a helping hand.

The campaign started with a motive of reaching and helping students in need of warm sweaters so that they could be motivated to attend school in this year's freezing winter. With the help of mentors KG identified 396 students in 12 different schools who needed to be helped. Along the way we were also able to provide 169 warm hats to children. We thank all mentors, volunteers, donors and enablers who have shown their constant support towards the movement.

Sweater Campaign

Picture
Many children in public schools and orphanages continue to be deprived of basic materials that support their educational needs. One such common need is the school uniform, that many poor families struggle to provide to their children. This becomes a glaring need in the extreme cold of the Kathmandu winter, when many children lack a sweater to wear to school. This not only affects the health of the children, but also affects their motivation to attend school.
In this shivering season, you can give warmth to the children by donating Rs 450 per sweater.  All 100% of your donation will be used for the purchase of the sweaters.

2015/16 Sweater Campaign Status Updates
HISTORY:
  • In the winter of 2012/13, we held clothes drive which helped over 200 children.

  • In the winter of 2014/15, we held a sweater campaign with a target of 250 students and found out that the need was X5 (five times).   We borrowed, took shop-credit, helped 1250 students in need.

Response to Earthquake

Our response:  Relief  > Resume > Rebuild

Relief: In response to the recent earthquakes to hit Nepal, volunteers have provided health-relief packages to those in need.  As of May 18th, KG Nepal distributed health packages, tailored to women and children, to over 10,000 families in over 40 locations.
Resume: After earthquakes, it is natural to help out in "Relief".  Yet, we all hope, "Rebuild" will start at some point.  KG Nepal intends to focus on 'Resume' so that we do not get stuck on Relief-aid economy.


Rebuild: A team of engineers and architects were arranged to inspect the schools to see which ones need to be rebuilt.
The “Resuming Schools, Resuming Lives” program focused on the 25 schools in its network with the objective to start the classes as soon as possible.

 As new academic session in schools start, students are in need of stationery.  When their parents cannot afford to buy these notebooks, they are embarrassed to come to class , they can’t write notes in class, can’t do their homework and  hence  have  no material to review later.  

In the last few years, over 20,000 notebooks have been delivered with various stationery aids to over 3000 students in need from 30+ schools in Kathmandu. This year we are all geared up for 1000 plus students with 7000+ notebooks with other stationery aids.  
Do you recall when as a child you were excited by new notebooks, a sleek pencil or a fancy eraser? It was an excitement for the ones whose parents  could afford them all but there are still children using loose papers, blunt pencils and erasers rubbed to grains. 

This is the glaring reason behind most of the students in government schools lagging in studies. To avoid the embarrassment in class when teachers would ask for notebooks, to ignite the interest in students and motivate them to learn and to avoid putting pressure on their cash-strapped parents; since 2011, Kehi Garoun has been distributing stationery to government schools in Kathmandu.

Resuming Concept

After earthquakes, it is natural to help out in "Relief".  In response to the recent earthquakes to hit Nepal, volunteers have provided health-relief packages to those in need.  As of May 18th, KGNepal distributed health packages, tailored to women and children, to over 10,000 families in over 40 locations.

Yet, we all hope, "Rebuild" will start at some point.  KGNepal intends to focus on 'Resume' that will connect the Relief phase to the Rebuild phase.
KGNepal's plan is to go from move past quick Relief to focus on Resume so that the long term Rebuild may commence.  Or else, we may be stuck in an aid-dependent economy that displaces market economy (as was the case in Haiti after earthquake).
KgNepal's founder Umanga Pandey shares his opinion on how people from different walks of life can help:
  1. How you can help the healing process?  Earthquakes will continue to come.  Hence, let us not wait around for another shock.   Instead,  let us calm our nerve, and limp ahead into daily life so that we may restore our trust in our own capacity to rebuild our lives.
  2. Why we should resume lives, and not wait for aid?    If we get  stuck in a relief-aid economy, that will displace a market economy.  Efforts to 'resume' lives will ensure we reach a healthy rebuilding phase.   First, we should not wait around for another specialist or another truck-load of relief-aid.   Instead, let us go back to doing what we used to do before earthquakes.   Meanwhile, there are two ways in which to help:

WANTING TO BE HERO BY RIZ DAHAL

5/16/2015

0 Comments

 
What we do is so mundane sometimes, packing, stapling, making paper bags, counting inventory, writing down a numbers and whether it's female or family, flattening out boxes and sometimes just packing the kits in a sack, we get a lot of time to think...well when it's quiet anyways.

So many people have taken our kits and our main concern it that it's reaching places it needs to go to and we really have to try and make sure that there is no duplication in efforts or people aren't being lazy and dumping their relief items. So I started thinking about some group who took our kits on the first week after the earthquake and wondered what motivated them to start and what were their reasons to stop. Maybe they were already going there with other reliefs, maybe they felt compelled as human beings to go out there and help, maybe they just wanted to contribute what they could because it was obligatory or maybe they wanted to play hero. But whatever their reason was, they were helping.

Being unemployed when this happened gave me this opportunity to do what I can in a way I can. If this was a workforce, our office is very much a back office where we never get to meet our clients, so we rely very much on volunteers and teams who are going out there distributing to give us the correct information. We don't have stories to share; of bravery, of sorrow, and everything else the victims and volunteers are experiencing right now. We are just a group of friends who realized we don't have any disaster relief knowledge, so with the help of few meetings and a quick email to my friend who studied public health in disasters decided to procure and pack, hoping maybe we will prevent the spread of some disease.

So yeah, part of our reason was probably also to be a hero, maybe not the ones who are directly involved with the displaced survivors but maybe a subtle hero.

It will be three weeks tomorrow since that day, the day we will never ever forget in our lives but my true heroes are those that's helping me subtly, the guys who take me to and fro every morning and evening, guys who make us tea when we really want it (and milky coffee of course), Be Raj, because it was bit too hard without him for few days, Ayasha who does everything there, always helpful and never complains, all the volunteers who don't complain about our tasks and dedicate fully, the guy and the girl who makes the volunteers do their tasks sometimes by shouting at them ;), those who procure everything so all we need to do is demand, and those who make us chuckle and laugh throughout the day so we forget for a while what a terrible time we are all going through.. thank you all for creating such a positive energy in the volunteer-space and subtly providing all of us with such a good support system. And lastly, everyone who has supported us financially, we would have had no money to continue after last week without your support. So even though none of us will be featured in any magazines or papers, you are all my post-disaster heroes..

Resuming Lives, Resuming Schools

5/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Resume Schools - Resume Lives:  Our focus is to resume the network of 25 government schools that KG has been working with for the last 4-9 years.  The families of the students are from the poorest strata in society, and therefore most vulnerable to earthquakes as they live in cheap, structurally weak homes.  They are also stand the most to lose by loss of daily wages when they have to stay back to take care of children.  As a child starts to resume their school, her parents can resume work, and the life in the community starts to pick up.   Our message is that we should not wait in fear of another earthquake, or in the hope of another relief-truck, but start picking up the pieces of our lives, now.

Health package handover for distribution

5/3/2015

0 Comments

 
After brainstorming for two days and talking to experts, we learnt that one of the major challenges after an earthquake is mitigating the risk of an epidemic outbreak. People living in temporary  shelters without access to proper sanitation or hygiene is the major cause for this.

Kehi Garoun, along with a group of enthusiastic volunteers, have come up with a plan to address this concern.

  •  Identification of affected areas where health and sanitation issues might arise.
  •  Procure necessary items to improve current conditions.
  •  Divide items as per the requirement of different shelters.
  •  Help in the distribution of items to people in shelters.

Quotation of the month:

“Every day we see or read of appalling things happening in the world as the result of violence in man. You may say, 'I can't do anything about it', or, 'How can I influence the world?' I think you can tremendously influence the world if in yourself you are not violent, if you lead actually every day a peaceful life.” 

J. Krishnamurthi, Freedom from the Known,118

July's Highlights

  •  We organized the Happy Tummy program- “Juka” (Stomach worm) awareness presentation and free medicine distribution.
  • Happy Tummy was covered by Image Channel, Saathi Sanga Mann ka Kura, Radio Nepal, Kantipur radio, Radio City, Radio Upateikka and ECS’s Friday magazine, Karobar Patrika, Commander Patrika.
  •  Kehi Garoun and Maya Universe Academy are planning a venture called “Walkabout”, targeting students in Kathmandu valley. The program aims to enrich the education of students in Kathmandu by exposing them to the way people live n villages in Nepal.

Changemakers of the Month

Picture
Prerana Manandhar has just completed her BBS and is waiting for her results.  She lives in Kamal Pokhari. She became a part of Kehi Garoun through the Happy Tummy program. She is very glad to get a chance to perform in a skit, and that too one that leads to awareness and improved health for poor government-school students. She shares that she didn’t get any chance to perform in front of an audience when she was in school/college. 
What she likes about Kehi Garoun is that there is no hierarchy, and that everybody is equally valuable when making decisions, planning and executing programs. With unbounded enthusiasm, she has coordinated Happy Tummy events in 3 government schools. She is very happy that she has been using her free time in helping poor students.
Picture
Pravuti Rana studies IB in Ullens School and also is an active volunteer at Kehi Garoun. She is a compassionate individual who gets along with others easily. She has been involved in “Walk for Yourself”- a walkathon, the BMI project, and is now coordinating the Happy Tummy event for the second time. She admits to being shy in front of strangers/ people, but after being the coordinator twice for Happy Tummy, she is visibly more confident and can often be heard directing a large group of volunteers to work. She is extremely keen about Kehi Garoun’s mission and activities. She loves to do field work rather than theoretical work in a classroom!

Picture
Karma Dolma Gurung, a Ullens-KG circle volunteer, is currently studying the IBDP at Ullens School and takes great interest in studying and analyzing human behavior. Karma feels that working with KG through various ventures (MDMD, BMI machine, Happy Tummy), has made her accomplish her goal of becoming the “change agent” that she wishes to see in others. 
“What I like about working with Kehi Garoun is that I am able to create my own experiments, and then learn from them. There is this entire team that gives you feedback throughout the process which has made Kehi Garoun (for me) such a special organization to work with. You not only help others but you allow yourself to fail, learn and grow.” says Karma.
