The start of year 2011 has been an eventful year for the Butterfly Foundation Nepal. Making changes, learning and adapting fresh ideas have been the focus of the Foundation. We are committed, dedicated and are ready to work as a team with other volunteers as ever to break this cycle of Poverty that exists here in the community and in Nepal. At the very first months of the year we had our book got published which is live on internet. The book is all about children of Pokhara and the link is on our website. we thank specially Pablo,Hana, Gary, Gina and Pilvi who worked really hard to make this book possible. we have also made little changes on our website including Facebook add on, Flickr link and a blog. The regular health camp program, the recent one which was held on 7th march had a little twist to it. Australian General Practitioner michael Johnston who made this possible with the help of Nepali doctor Lok Raj Pahari gave free medical consultation and medicine distribution to over 70 children. Many thanks to the Volunteers Colleen Macaulay (Zimbabwe), Karolina Kozlowicz (Poland), Michael Wall (Canada), Nuccia Rantieri (Australia) and Daniel (Korea) and Butterfly foundation Staffs who assisted the doctors with processing, recording information and measuring height and weight. We also thank Keshab Raj Pahari(M.D),Khem Raj Dahal(Secretary) for coming forward for assisting this program. The program was extremely successful.
like wise another Australian dentist Michelle lehmann also did free dental camp and medicine distribution to over 70 children at Butterfly Foundation Child Care Center. Butterfly Foundation Nepal hosted Toilet free Zone to Ward area 6 with the help of other business sectors in the area. This campaign was co-ordinated by me with the collaboration of local council and was a successful one.
we are always focused on the best interest of the children. To improve the quality and a creative learning environment to the children we held one day Montessori training not only for the teachers at the foundation but to the teachers of all the 17 ward child care center. our common denominator, our objective no matter of their location and their supervision is the same. These other 17 ward child care center is run by the local government and thus the quality has been compromised. i am now working together with the local council to improve the quality and the care that a child gets at the center. we have volunteers program allocated to these centers so that we can make little changes one step at a time. My heart, my time and my life has always been on the focus of the children and their families and will always be. My social stats that i have takes me sometime to campaign about cleaning the lake and sometimes improve on the quality and service of Tourism sector in Pokhara.
Recently the biggest event held was the international teachers seminar to over 100 teachers of the pokhara area. organized by Butterfly Foundation and Artvelde university of Belgium made this possible and a big thank you to Professor lut and john, who worked hard on this to make this event a successful one. our chief guest Education District officer gave a big thank for holding such an event that can change the teaching methods which has been implemented at the schools. We have had 15 volunteers from Belgium assited on to make this program a successful one. This is only May and we as Butterfly Foundation has got involved in so many eventful programs and their is still more ahead to come. We will continue to work and will do anything to break this cycle of Poverty that we have in this country. you are always in our heart
your best well wisher and your family
Govinda's family.
