Quality of Life Nepal Sarangkot was running on Drupal 6. Recently, all modules we need for this website had been released in more or less stable versions for Drupal 7, so migration began.

Two weeks ago, we took QOLNSarangkot.org live with all the content we had in Drupal 6.

Feel free to use the contact form for any question you have configuration wise.

A warm Namasté to all!

First we would like to comfort everybody that the earthquake that happened on Sunday eve 18 September, didn’t affect our houses and our projects. Everybody was scared of course, but there was no damage. Most damage and death was at the border of Nepal and Sikkim (India), where the earthquake hit with a magnitude 6.9.

Sadly, one week after, Nepal came in the news again, with a plane crash of a sightseeing Mountain flight, on Sunday 25 September, where nobody (19 people) survived.

Hereby we would like to thank Mr. Toulemonde & Association of D.E.P.A.R.T.S. Micro-credit for your yearly contribution to our micro-credit buffalo project!

All beneficiaries from the last project are paying back their loan to QOLN. They are all doing well. Through your help, many families in Sarangkot can survive now with having this buffalo and selling some milk or ghee (clarified butter).

Namasté sponsors,

Meanwhile our day care center is running very well!
Thank you for all your support. Again, 55 children can attend our kinder garden in a new building! They are very happy and delighted to be in their new school.

The 3 classrooms downstairs are for the Nursery, Lower KG and Upper KG. The classes are still a bit empty, but slowly they will be housing new furniture and play toys.

Namasté!

We wish you a HAPPY NEPALI NEW YEAR 2067! The New Year started on April 14. Nepal is the only country in the world with soo many New Year celebrations! In 365 days, there are nine different New Years in Nepal!

This year we even enjoyed real fireworks around Lakeside!

Since last month, there has been a lot of work done in our DCC. The railings have been fixed, the channel gate has been fixed, and the painting is going on continually.

These days, we can see the DCC construction is in its finishing process. The workers are busy to finish last painting. The workers are waiting for the electricity to fix the windows and doors. Moreover, some workers are busy to make a surrounding wall for the DCC.

QOLN is eagerly waiting to do the opening ceremony on 14 April 2010!

Dear sponsors,

After heavy snowfall in the mountains and a whole day of rain in Pokhara, the weather is not cold anymore and it is getting hotter and hotter every day. People are already dressed in light clothes when they go out!

The new Day care centre (DCC) is almost ready. Since the last four weeks, the workers worked very hard to finish it. They plastered the floor and cemented the last rooftop. Now they are busy fixing the doors, windows and the railings all around the first and second floor. Meanwhile they will start painting and cleaning the playground.

Namasté!

First, we wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! May Love & Joy enrich your days!

At this moment, Nepal is starting to celebrate its festivals again. The last month, called “POUSH” (from half December until half January) is determined as an unholy month. In this month the religious ceremonies are forbidden.  

Dear sponsors,

The early started winter is getting colder and colder in Sarangkot, especially in the morning and in the evening!

Namasté dear sponsors of our Nepal Child Plan,

[img_assist|nid=214|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=75]In the first week of November, QOLN organized a winter clothes and shoes distribution program for the Nepal Child Plan (NCP) sponsored kids and the Day Care Centre (DCC) kids.

Winter started early this year. From the 11th of November we suddenly had cloudy, rainy weather and the temperature dropped by 10 degrees.

At the moment we have 70 children sponsored in our Nepal Child Plan.
