Day trip

Almost half of the children in the DRC Nepal can’t or may not go home or visit family to celebrate the Dashain festival. That is the most important religious festival in Nepal and traditionally the time to reconnect with family and confirm friendships. The children are sad about this because it’s easy to get bored of waiting during the holidays.

4 Smiling Faces wants to change that this year by taking the ones who stayed behind on a day trip to an important place in Nepal: the Kailashnath Mahadev Statue, the world’s largest statue of the Hindu god Lord Shiva.

For the children, this is not only a whole new memory, but also a highlight of the holidays that will break the boredom. So when the others return, they will also have a story to tell. That’s something you wish for them!

Reparatie & onderhoud

In 2008 heeft 4 Smiling Faces een zonne-energie systeem aangelegd om de DRC Nepal van heet water te voorzien voor de douches. Twee jaar later hebben we een grondwaterput en -pomp aangelegd, zodat kostbaar en onregelmatige geleverd drinkwater uitsluitend voor eten en drinken kan worden gebruikt. Beide systeem hebben anno 2013 kleine reparaties en onderhoud nodig, omdat er schade is opgelopen door onder andere extreem slecht weer. Dat maakt 4 Smiling Faces uiteraard graag mogelijk.

Repair & maintanance

In 2008 4 Smiling Faces installed a solar power system in the DRC Nepal to provide hot water for the showers. Two years later we installed a groundwater well and -pump so expensive and rare drinking water can be used only for food and drinking. Anno 2013 both systems are in need of minor repairs and maintenance because extreme weather has caused damage. 4SmilingFaces is obviously happy to make this possible.
