The lockdown, due to the Covid 19 outbreak, has meant that many families in Nepal have lost their source of income and  are struggling to feed their families. Shiva Charity was able to distribute emergency  food (rice, dhal, cooking oil, salt, beans and soap)) to over 70 families in Nala.

Thanks to Wrington Vale Rotary Club we now have clean drinking water at the Ginette Harrison School(GHS). This will mean the children will be healthier and less likley to  become ill by drinking unclean water. The children have also had lessons on first aid, recycling and have been out litter picking to create a cleaner environment. Altogether a better and safer  GHS!

Free basic computer training is taught at the teacher training centre in Banepa. This includes:   internet, email,  word processing,  presentations, graphics, multimedia and spreadsheets. A certificate is given on completion of the course.

Not only does SHIVA Charity train the teachers to work with resources in the class room, but we teach some to be trainers as well, so that it empowers them to continue the process indefinitely.

Kyria was the trainer this year. She teaches at St Agnant Nursery School. She remarked, "This has been a good learning experience for me. I was a little apprehensive at first, as these were my colleagues, but we had an interesting and happy time, and I think we learned a lot. The children, of course, are the real winners, because they have much more enjoyable lessons."

In the last year we have focused on improving existing schools that desperately needed a coat of paint and completed Jyamdi School and the Harold Whiting School. This coming year we hope to focus on replacing school furniture such as desks, blackboards and teacher's tables.
