By Raj Shrestha We recently travelled to the Shree Bhimsen Secondary School in Duskut Sindhupalchok. The students there face many problems such as menstruation hygiene issues, poor oral hygiene, poor hand washing, lack of clean drinking water, sexual harassment in society, and limited education regarding girl & boy puberty etc. We were very happy to have a chance to visit the School and community. As we know life can be hard in Nepal, but we usually take it as it comes, and

On arrival in Duskot, we grabbed all our gear and made our way up the narrow path to the Shree Bhimsen Secondary School. We were met by the very attentive caretaker who opened up two classrooms for us. We would be sleeping in these classrooms. Raj in one room, and the 5 girls and I in another. We had mats and sleeping bags with us but the caretaker kindly brought some pillows and covers for us to use to keep comfortable and warm. We stopped for a short while to have tea and b

In November 2019 I enjoyed a fabulous trek to Everest Base Camp. This was something I had wanted to do for a few years, and something I had failed at in 2018. (See my other blog https://livethelifeyoulove148822353.wordpress.com/2019/01/06/the-day-the-mountains-beat-me-ss/ ) Whilst the Everest Base Camp trek was difficult, yet so awesome, it was what I did next that made my trip to Nepal one of the most amazing adventures of my life. After EBC I returned to Kathmandu where I f

Recently we were at the Shree Janakalyan secondary school in Tallo Gore, Gorkha. We were trying to exchange the knowledge with our beautiful students about menstrual hygiene. As we know, most of the women and girls have been facing many problems during their periods. We would like to see all the women and girls healthy. That’s why we came to this village’s school and provided special education about menstruation hygiene. Already many girls have their period but some younger g

To everyone who donated, bought home made rocky road, or came to the movie night, this is what it was all about. The money raised went to a foundation called Let’s Clean Up Nepal. Founder Raj and his team (Geeta, Sara, Sonam, Dikshya and Amrita) were able to provide health education sessions at a school in Duskot, Sindhupalchok. They covered oral hygiene, hand hygiene, puberty, sexual harassment and women’s sanitary health options. Money raised bought toothbrushes and toothpa

It made my day when I had the opportunity to meet Susmita Kafle and help educate her. We have been educating our young sisters and mothers by giving them reusable sanitary pads for the last 5 years. We have already taken this awareness programme to different villages in remote areas of Nepal. We are focusing on more remote areas where they really need our support. This time we are not far from the city, its only about 80 km from Kathmandu. There is a big village with more tha

Namaste. My name is Lou and I live in Western Australia. I have travelled twice to Nepal. In 2018 I trekked to Gokyo Ri and in 2019 I trekked to Everest Base Camp. Along the way I totally fell in love with Nepal and the kind Nepali people. After returning home from my first trek, I longed to be back in Nepal and help somewhere, somehow. I have connected with Let’s Clean Up Nepal and the founder Raj, and started this blog to share the projects that the foundation do throughout

This time we wanted to visit Gorkha and see how the local women and girls are facing the issue of menstruation there. We have previously been in Gore village where Gurung and Brahmans live. We learned some interesting points about menstruation there, especially in the Brahmans community where, when girls have a period for the first time, then the parents have to send their daughters to another relatives houses to be isolated for 25 days in a separate room. While inside the ro
