what’s been done in 6 months

Some examples of what the Free Radicals did to help in Nepal:

1. To volunteer in a school (Manasarovar Ac.) and a small local library (Reading Room) (still on)
2. Donation of 160 condoms to Saarathi, Nepalese organization for the prevention of HIV and drugs
3. Helping Saarathi in the setting up of their blog. http://saarathinepal.blogspot.com/
4. Buying 20 badminton rackets, 2 balls, cocks and net. Value 5050 Nrs (50 euros or a teacher salary in a public school) for Manasarovar Academy (primary school)
5. Introducing the school to Li and her organisation Lotus Himalaya who’s now giving monthly donation to give more balanced lunch to the children. Otherwise it woud be lentils and rice everyday.
6. Creation of poster promoting freedom of speech and democracy

We’ve got much more idea, but for that we would need more help. Program to teach children and the community how to understand advertisement, buiding a fair guest-house traditionally build, tradition Newari style to set a monthly help for a school, program “keep your nature and your river clean” for the kids and the community…

relationship between Japan & Nepal

Nepal-Japan Relations



“Nepal-Japan friendly relationship was established in the year 1956 A.D. (2013 B.S.). Earlier, Rana Prime Minister Dev Shamsher had sent a group of 8 Nepali students to Japan for studies.
“Japan is also called the country of islands. In their language Japan is called Nippon. Nippon means land of rising sun. Japan is made up of four main islands. These islands are Hokkido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, Tokyo is the capital of  Japan. It lies in the island of Honshu.
“There are many similarities between Nepal and Japan. Both of them are monarchical countries, Japanese are very labourious. Thanks to the labouriousness of the Japanese people. Japan has made great progress. It is necessary for us to learn many things from the Japanese people for the development of our nation. The government of Japan has helped us in building Gangaboo Bus Park, several drinking water projects, hydroelectricity projects. The radio transmission centers Pokhara and Kathmandu and horticulture development in Kaski and Dang. Thus Japan, having signed treaties with Nepal at different times, has been helping us in the fields like education, health etc.”

- There is no monarchy nor in Nepal nor in Japan which has gor political power

- Saying Nepalese and Japanese work force are the same is about saying it rains as much in Cornwall as in the Sahara!
