Dhading Scholarships Field Report June 2017

HCCNepal - Dhading Scolarships Field Report 2017

On June, 6th, 7th, and 8th, HCC Staff Laxmi Karki and Khil Bahadur Thapa journeyed to Dhading with DP Aryal and Fun Kids Nepal to check on the progress of HCC students in the Dhading Children’s Initiative (DCI). Laxmi and Khil met with students, received updates on their individual academic progress and distributed scholarship funds for the next academic year. They also brought school educational support materials for the classrooms to use, including charts, the alphabet and numbers, and a world map.

After taking a 5-hour ride to Dhaka from Dhading Besi, HCC staff conducted a three-hour interview and scholarship distribution session with 32 students. While Laxmi collected academic reports to verify scholarships, Khil interviewed each student one by one to check up on both academic progress as well as the personal development and home environment of each student. They also repeated the same process for 8 students in Todke, ensuring that each student received individual attention from HCC. After three days, Laxmi and Khil returned to Kathmandu to report back to the HCC Kathmandu base on the status and progress of HCC students in Dhading.

We’re thrilled to hear about our students thriving and growing academically in Dhading, one of the districts most heavily burdened by the aftermath of the earthquake. There are plenty of students still in need of sponsorship. To sponsor a child in need, reach out to us at contact@hccnepal.org for more information.

Field Trip Experience by Arun, HCC university student

From December 9th to 11th, I volunteered on a trip to Dhading and Nuwakot with Dinesh Uncle, Laxmi Didi, Nishan Dai, and D.P. Uncle. Our goal was to distribute winter supplies like clothes, books, and calculators to students in these areas. The trip was a rewarding and humbling experience as we connected with the children and saw the impact of HCC’s work.

We left early on December 9th, starting at 6:30 a.m. Our first stop was to meet eight students. We spent time chatting with them about their families, studies, and future goals, and distributed chocolates to them. Then, we went to Dhading Besi and visited another school, where we spent three hours meeting students, handing out supplies, and learning about their lives. A 13-year-old girl, Gita, stood out to me with her maturity and confidence.

Next, we traveled to Darkha, where we enjoyed the beautiful scenery despite the rough roads. We stayed overnight at a local hotel and the next morning met with the community, including the mayor and teachers. We gave supplies to 15 students and had meaningful conversations with locals.

In the afternoon, we visited Bindu Keshar School in Nuwakot, where we played volleyball with eight students and shared snacks. Finally, we reached Uttar Gaya, where we updated records for six students and saw their dedication to learning. We ended the trip by staying at a hotel in Nuwakot before heading back to Kathmandu the next day.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our team, sponsors, and well-wishers for their invaluable support in ensuring the education and well-being of  students in the RISE program. The field visit was a success, providing much-needed support and monitoring to students in the RISE program. Through collective efforts, we continue to create meaningful impacts on the lives of children and their families in Nepal.
