Once again, we are deeply proud to express our biggest thanks to all our distinguished friends and other actively participated volunteer teams on their glorious contributions over the helpless, homeless communities survived the last earthquake disaster in Nepal. Our hearts bulge with gratification to see the cheerful faces of the survived victims who are very much happy to receive this unexpected relief funds we have distributed amongst them for their immediate rehabilitation and rebuilding the temporary shelters in this emergency hour. Now, we see the silver line of new hope and strength in their dark lives. They are slowly standing on their feet preparing themselves to cope out with the successive earthquakes and other probable natural catastrophes to be happened during the course of monsoon coming soon. All the social charities and donation helps granted by our “dear friends” in this adversely harsh time is ever counted as invaluable and priceless reward for the Himalayan Care Hands Nepal. Without this supports of our friends, this momentous missionary task of this organization would have never been accomplished. Once again, we would like to remember those honorable personalities who are fully entitled to this splendid contribution made on behalf of this organization

Himalayan Care Hands is offering immediate help in Mainapokhari/Dolakha and Nuwakot. Special transports have been shipped into the mountains to relieve the basic needs of people.

For example: The situation in the Nepalese mountain community of Nuwakot is very serious. About 150 families are homeless and have no access to sufficient food, medicine, blankets, clothing, soap and other personal necessities. All of them have a little rice, they can not cook because they do not have oil. They sleep in makeshift tents and still wearing the clothes from the day of the quake.

With your donations, we launched the campaign ‘1 month to 1 family’: a transport leaves tomorrow with for each of the 150 households an emergency kit consisting of, among others:

• Rice
• Lentils
• Salt
• Cooking Oil
• Personal hygiene (among them soap, toothpaste)

This allows them to survive one month. This diminishes some significant worries to make a start again to rebuild their villages. For some families also we purchased tents because they have no materials to realize a shelter themselves.

The number of deaths caused by the earthquakes in our country rise above 5,000. We fear that this number will increase in the coming weeks. Many places we have not been able to reach. Fortunately, a lot of help from abroad is arriving, to search for survivors and to provide first aid to victims of this disaster. Thousands of people, including children are homeless. There is shortage of water and medicines. Many roads are broken and some places are totally isolated.

Fortunately, our projects have suffered little damage. So our hospital in Mainapokhari’s has survived the quakes and provides now direct assistance to the victims in and around Mainapokhari and the Dolakha district. The schools in which we have projects are also still standing, but there is a lot of suffering among the families of children.

As Himalayan Care Hands we of course feel deeply obliged to contribute to the needs of others. We can quick access the situations in the area’s surrounding our projects and our staff can help with direct support. We have a network which we quickly involve to carry out the help.

Help the people and help us rebuilt our beloved Nepal by making a financial contribution to our account or on that of our sister institution in the Netherlands (see below). We have no overhead, pay our own costs and ensure a 100% spending of your valuable donation to the ones in need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Yours sincerely,

Dhruba K.C, Chairman

Kathmandu, Mainapokhari, March 2015 –
A few weeks ago, a delegation of boardmembers of HCH Nepal & Netherlands paid a visit to the hospital in Mainapokhari. This urgently needed hospital was built with grants from ‘Wild Geese’ and others and opened in 2013. The main question now, almost two years later, is: can the hospital run independent, stand financially on its own?
The good news is yes, the medical staff and the management reassure us of the selfsustainability of their clinic. Although yet there is no positive financial balance, the number of paying members of the Himali Health Cooperative Society has grown significantly. These members contribute importantly to the daily operation of the clinic. On the short term it is likely that the number will rise explosively, now allied cooperatives showing interest in the hospital.
Less good news has to be written about the hygiene, or better the lack of it in the hospital. It is a real concern; the lack of resources to keep the rooms clean; and the need to train on skills and the discipline to scrupulously follow a cleaning and hygiene schedule. The environment does not help, the hospital is surrounded by beautiful nature, but consequently there are much nuisance insects. There is also no pavement around the hospital which allows dirt to enter easily.
The interviews with the medical staff made clear that they are working with a lot of motivation and a profound faith committed to the growth and success of the clinic in the future. The young doctor Nischal requests to realize urgently a surgery facility allowing simple surgical procedures in the hospital that subsequently no longer have to be carried out in distant Kathmandu. Then, according to him, the hospital is 100% sufficient for all common medical interventions.
Meanwhile, crowd funding runs steadily in the Netherlands for the expansion of the clinic with a full first floor and a private ambulance. It is expected that constructions can start still in 2015. HCH Netherlands and Nepal will closely monitor the implementation of these expansion. Also the cooperation with foundation Dhampus probably leads to a dental facility within the clinic. They already invested in medical dental camps and are providing education to one of the attending nurses.
The next project visit is scheduled for May 2015. One last thing: flight tickets, transportation costs and all stay over costs are totally paid by members of HCH themselves. All received donations, now and in the future are 100% spent on the benefits for the hospital. That’s always our promise to donors!
