📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
With this project, the association is actively trying to reach the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). FFN and NICE have been co-organising special work camps for “Walk with Nepal” since August 2015. The reconstruction of the community hall is both needed and advocated by the local population for a variety of uses, including an e-library, seminars and meetings of many people. The locals managed to secure a sum of 26,000 € in donation. 9,000 € are still needed but participants will help reach that total with their fee and they will also participate in the physical work. Any other contribution is welcome of course. One member of our staff who joined in 2017 is collecting money for the donations. Feel free to make additional donations if you want to. Volunteers and the local people have completed ¾ of the building! They built the walls of the hall and they caried blocks last year. They interacted on many occasions with the locals, and they said they enjoyed it. As the pictures of the community hall show, it is starting to take shape.
💼 What the programme involves
The tasks include rebuilding the community centre, providing health and sanitation education to children, playing sports with them at school and teaching them about disaster prevention. If there are not enough funds to buy the material due to a lack of volunteers, the main task will revolve around education, although some work related to construction may still be done.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will stay in a beautiful house with toilets and hot water facilities, but the rooms are quite simple. They need to bring their own sleeping bag. Meals will be prepared by volunteers in turn.
