Outcycling aims not only to bring us from A (=Switzerland) to B (Nepal and later New Zealand). With our ride, we also want to generate support for La Dhoka, a small, local based social project in Nepal.
In 2008, Simone founded La Dhoka together with the Nepalese power lady Laxmi Dhungel. La Dhoka includes the Narighar, a women center, where different (skill-) trainings are offered, the children home in Kusunti and also supports about 38 poor children/families with a scholarship.
Our fundraiser is officially finished with the arrival in Kathmandu. We were able to transfer a proud 7228.80 Fr. to La Dhoka. This money will be used as follows: We will increase the monthly scholarship amounts. Another 2-4 children will be included in the program and supported for at least five years. During our time in Kathmandu we organized a staff dinner for the La Dhoka- Narighar crew and a small outing for the children. Training for the teachers is being organized at the Narighar and a training on menstrual hygiene has already been conducted. At the request of the teacher, a doll was purchased to be used in sewing classes. The remaining amount will be used for the running costs of the project.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT!
