Reporting of Street Children Program (The Lions Children First Program).
Dear Lion Gunnar Steiner,
I would like to inform you we had done our Street Children Program at
Slum area in Kathmandu on 22 August 2014. I am so pleasant for
reporting to you. We were distributing respectively; Stationary and
Sports Materials, Toys and Musical Instrument for the underprivileged
students and school which you can see through photos. I think the
photos will more explain to you all better than me. In these program,
had presented our zone chairperson, Past Multiple Council Chairperson,
Past Presidents of Local Committee, Committee of the Parents and Board
of Directors and family from the School. From these program directly
100 students got benefit and more children, family and community
indirectly will get our services from the school. It was our small
effort to concentrate Nepalese Lions Clubs for these kind of the area
too. We hope all of the Nepalese Lions Clubs shall bring services in
those area soon.
By the way, I wanted to short explain about these projects because why
we brought it in the slum area? and why we took long duration for it?
You know that after released our social music video, we wanted to
support street children on road but we were not doing it because our
board wanted to collect more information about the street children.
Then we were planning to research about the street children so we took
a long time for completing these projects. After long investigation
and research we found the major problem of the street children and how
to they come on street in Kathmandu Road ? We were able to go to root
of this problem. All of the street children came from the SLUM
COMMUNITY because their family was very poor and they were not able to
survive daily life properly and full fill the basic requirement of the
children. So, Most of the Children does not go to school because their
family could not affordable education expenses and other expenses.
Many of the house hold does not jobs and works. We found some more
critical situation of the adult and senior citizens too. Not only
children came on street but more senior citizens to came out together
from these kind of community. We found lots of the problem in these
community like Food, Shelter, Health, Education, Sanitation,
Nutrition, Play Ground etc. and you can see how many they were taking
risk to stay on river side through photos.
Finally, our club decided to cut root of the problem of street
children. Then we were going to SLUM AREA and gave our contribution
to children and school. In that school had not anything and properly
setup office, class rooms, toilets, play ground etc. We just gave our
small services in that school for brighter future of the
underprivileged students and children. We were able to encourage few
children to join school and making your quality life through
education.
If you have any query about this program and wanted to give more
services in that area please without any hesitate you would inform me.
I will try to give answered you on time.
