BACK TO NEPAL | Join Us in Reflecting on Our Achievements and Shaping Our Future Vision
  
Our journey is underway! From October 6 to 20, our team is heading to Bungamati village in Nepal, on a mission to bring hope to the women of this community.

In Bungamati, the vibrant spirit struggles under the weight of poverty, where inadequate sanitation and personal hygiene, especially for women, pose significant challenges. It’s rare in the world to find places still grappling with such issues.

As representatives of the ASHA Foundation for Humanity, my partner Mai Wilachai and I are dedicated to empowering young women by distributing reusable menstrual pads. Thanks to Vivien Stang’s inspired intention, this essential initiative will improve their health and hygiene, providing them with support in their daily lives. 

Menstruation still carries a heavy stigma in Parts of Nepal. We’ve heard heartbreaking accounts of young girls forced to live apart during their periods, feeling “unclean” and isolated. Many lack basic education about menstruation, leaving them frightened. 

Providing reusable menstrual pads offers a hygienic and sustainable solution that alleviates financial burdens and fear. More importantly, we aim to educate these girls about their bodies, empowering them to dispel myths and take charge of their health.

Were fortunate to have longtime ASHA supporter Ishor Bajracharya leading us in the field, diligently handling logistics including jeep transportation, making advance arrangements with village leaders, gathering necessary supplies - coordinating all involved. His expertise ensures our work will be impactful and well-organized.

Having spent 25 years in social action, I consider Nepal a second home. Ten years ago, I had the privilege of working with the Musica Music Institute sponsored by the Playing For Change Foundation. They united a busload of students to join ASHA’s push to immediately build shelters for earthquake victims. 

I was proud then and continue to be proud now as their beloved program has flourished, through dramatically increased support from PFCF - benefiting countless individuals in the community. This trip allows us to reconnect with those we assisted, sharing their stories and reflecting on the ongoing support they’ve received.

Our time in Kathmandu coincides with vibrant local festivals, enriching our interactions and deepening our understanding of their culture. Together, we will build connections.

Stay tuned as we reveal more about our actions and share stories connecting the past to our current efforts. This work is made possible because of you - our dedicated supporters. If you’d like to help our ongoing efforts, please consider contributing to the ASHA Foundation for Humanity. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.

BUILDING SAFETY, BUILDING HOPE | BKLCs New Fence Project

The Ban Kung Learning Center (BKLC) is thrilled to announce the completion of a significant safety project that has been months in the making. 

In response to an official request from the Don Hai Sok subdistrict here in northeastern Thailand, we undertook the construction of a nearly 100-meter-long metal fence around key areas of our pond and learning center. This new fence not only serves as a robust barrier to ensure the safety of our children but also enhances the aesthetics of our center.

BKLC brings hope for disadvantaged children in this rural farming region, offering English classes, art, dance, self-protection, and a nutritious lunch every weekend. These activities provide not only education but also a sense of joy and purpose for the kids, who eagerly look forward to their weekends at the center.

The pond, which now sits securely fenced, is an integral part of life in Isaan country. It serves multiple purposes: providing fish for food, bringing moisture to the area as blistering hot air sweeps across the water, and acting as an emergency water source for animals. In this rugged part of the world, such resources are invaluable.

We are incredibly grateful for the good folks at ASHA for making this project possible. Their mission to make the world a better place aligns perfectly with our goals at BKLC.

Furthermore, we are deeply grateful to the kind folks at PLAYING FOR CHANGE for their additional contribution, sparked by our dancers recent performance on their globally acclaimed video Waiting on the World to Change, which has garnered millions of views.

Lets continue this journey together, creating safe, nurturing, and educational spaces for the children of Isaan country. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
