INSTITUTIONAL:In January, KG made a few small achievements towards making sure we are able to continue reaching 1000+ children like Pramila.
PROGRAM: Due to winter vacation at schools, and a few days of bandhs, we provided only one Sajha Khaja session. On 13th Jan, we distributed additional stationery to Kanya Mandir School and interacted with them as well as their parents. KG volunteers participated on the program “Bagmati Safa Aviyan” - a river cleaning camp - organized by Sanjivani. Monthly Event: We are screening a fund raising movie on February 10 (“EK MEY AUR EKK TUM” at Rs 500 /person at QFX (civil mall)). Please let Rishav@kgnepal.com.np know if you wish to support us by booking your seats. LIFE YOU TOUCHED!![]() 2012 JANUARY UPDATE Dear KG Members, Please take a few second to read about Pramila Shrestha , whose life you touched through KG. Pramila Shrestha is a brilliant student who dreams of being a teacher. She lives near Bishnumati River with her mother who works as a construction labourer. Her father has left them. She has two siblings; one elder sister and one younger sister; both of them study in Kanya Mandir School. Her mother’s income is not enough for them to eat after paying rent. So sometime even she works on embroidery in small piece of cloth for three hours at night to earn Rs. 25 per piece. They don’t have enough money to eat every day, so most of the time they have to sleep with an empty stomach. KG has been involved in providing her stationery. QUOTE OF THE MONTH Do you feel dissatisfied when you learn of such students? This is where the quote of the month may be relevant to you ( ‘On being discontent’ – JK’s Think on These Things) “So one must have this total discontent - but with joy. One must be wholly discontented, not complainingly, but with joy, with gaiety, with love. Most people who are discontented are terrible bores; they are always complaining that something or other is not right, or wishing they were a in a better position, or wanting circumstance to be different, because their discontent is very superficial…Do you know what it means to be discontented? …… When you feel discontented, you turn on the radio, you go to a guru, do puja, join a club, drink, run after women - anything to smother the flame. But, you see, without this flash, you will never have the initiative which is the beginning of creativeness. To find out what is true you must be in revolt against the established order, but the more money you parents have, and the more secure your teachers are in their jobs, the less they want you to revolt.” ![]() केही गरौं (KG) - be the change! Forward this newsletter to your friends and families…and, keep reading on... Sharing a day, Tarani School "SO, THE FIRST THING IS TO REALIZE THAT THE WORLD' S PROBLEM IS THE INDIVIDUAL'S PROBLEM; IT IS YOUR PROBLEM AND MY PROBLEM, AND THE WORLD'S PROCESS IS NOT SEPARATE FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PROCESS. "...."IT SEEMS TO ME VERY IMPORTANT, THEN, TO UNDERSTAND THE TOTAL PROCESS OF INDIVIDUALITY, BECAUSE IT IS ONLY WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL CHANGES RADICALLY THAT THERE CAN BE A FUNDAMENTAL REVOLUTION IN SOCIETY. IT IS ALWAYS THE INDIVIDUAL, NEVER THE GROUP OR THE COLLECTIVE, THAT BRINGS ABOUT A RADICAL CHANGE IN THE WORLD, AND THIS AGAIN IS HISTORICALLY SO. NOW, CAN THE INDIVIDUAL, THAT IS, YOU AND I, CHANGE RADICALLY? THIS TRANSFORMATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL BUT NOT ACCORDING TO A PATTERN - IS WHAT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH, AND TO ME IT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF EDUCATION." - JK Dear KG Family, KG-Gifts reached 45 students in 2012. Do you know how many benefited from KG Gifts in the month of January? 18 Gifts! This means, we will reach 200 students in 2012 at this rate. What's more? KG Gifts will become KG's central program, having integrated 'mid-day meals' and 'stationery programs' as 'Gifts Program'. KG will continue to empower individuals and hold collaborative events.
LIVES THAT YOU TOUCHED![]() Puja katawal studies in grade four in Sri Arunodhaya Ni. Ma. Vi. (Dhoka Tol). As per her gift applicant and teacher Ms. Urmila Devi Shrestha, Puja lives with her father and 8 other family members. Her father works as a carpet seller. According to her techers, Puja is a dillegent, hard working and regular student. She comes to school regularly and has a patient nature. Having 9 family members to feed the monthly income of her father is not enough. Due to this, her parents aren't able to even buy her a set of uniform. Her teacher wishes to motivate her by gifting a school uniform. (FB Comments)
