After a corona break of 3.5 years, the Wijchmaal association Namaste Nepal was able to return to Nepal to support its projects. “This time the focus was on medical materials, medicines, hygiene and the construction of toilets in an elementary school.”

The volunteers visited Possible Nepal, a home that takes in orphans and underprivileged children. “There are currently twelve children living here,” says Guido Van Briel, president of the Namaste Nepal association, which was founded in 2015 after being impressed by the devastation caused by earthquakes. “We already supported Possible Nepal in 2021 with an internet connection, school fees and clothing. Now we have provided financial support. We brought medical, hygiene and sanitation materials to the Shanka Devi School in Jyamrung.”
