Development projects in Nepal

The history of our projects:
The projects were started some time ago by the Rev. Gesje Pema Dorjee.
It was when we first met him in March 2007, that we learned about the many projects he had.

Rev. Pema Dorje is very concerned about the equilibrium between mental and physical health for his pupils (between 11 and 20 years)at the Porong Choeding Monastry in Kathmandu. Up to now the mental health was the major and almost only concern.
As a sports teacher I was excited to take on such a challenge offered to me.It will require a combination of skillfulness and inventiveness knowing that normal sports facilities or sport attributes are totally lacking.

The second project is about the development of a rural village (Rathankot) 80 kms of Kathmandu. The major problem being that young people are leaving the village for trying their fortune in the big cities. My father an agricultural engineer will try to help out in order to improve agricultural production. First we need to learn more about the actual situation.
