Coronavirus still creates a challenging situation in Nepal, and school /travel lockdowns are in place. At the time of writing this report over two thousand new cases a day were being reported in Nepal.
IGWR-Nepal are very much focussed on supporting the sixty plus children in their care and also supporting the families of those children where there is financial hardship due to the Coronavirus situation.
For now there is no opportunity for us to progress with the rural school work of this project, however it is a time perhps for planning future fundraising activities.
Nepal will need our help to recover from the downturn caused by Coronavirus, and helping kids get a good education is the best investment in recovery.
Any immediate fundraising initiatives can be directed to our primary GlogalGiving project;
https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/after-school-support-to-30-needy-kids-in-nepal/
And please check out our website for more information, we’re again joining with GlobalGiving to promte the 200% bonus that will be given to any new monthly supporters during the December campaign.
2020 has been a year of unexpected challenges for us all, and we’re looking forward to being able to get back to Nepal to share the whole experience with the dedicated team that look after so many children.
2020 has also been a year that we’ve realised how dependant we are (globally) on each other; and we’ve also learnt to ‘work from home’; so maybe as we break through the pandemic, we will actually be better equipped to make an even bigger difference when a new ‘normal’ emerges.
Our thanks to all who generously offer their support, and may this Christmas be a light to all who live in the shadows.
