For the future we have taken the decision to base all full time As always though we depend totally on your continued support, salaried activity in Nepal under the control of Jeroen van den Bergh Mike Letter from Nugal Vaidya, Chairman of the Nepal Trust’s NGO partner in Nepal This is the first time I am writing my message to you and the readers of this new edition of Nepal Trust Bulletin ‘NAMASTE’. I come from the Rotary Club of Mount Everest, Lalitpur, Nepal (Rotary International Distrct-3292). I am a past President there and am assigned as Assistant Governor in the district level for the Rotary year 2009-10. Through Rotary, I have known the Nepal Trust and a few of the office bearers for many years. I was personally involved with the Nepal Trust during the planning and implementation of the Til Solar Project in 2007, through my club and International Partner Rotary Club of Ilkley Wharfedale, England (Rotary International District – 1040). My relationship then grew deeper and as a result I have now joined the Nepal Trust as it’s Chairman in Nepal from 2009. In Rotary, Rotarians act as community volunteers with our motto “Service Above Self”. I think this spirit has spurred me to lead the Nepal Trust in Nepal. Philanthropy is sometimes like a mirage when it comes to be the most remote underprivileged and wild areas like Humla and the Karnali zone of Nepal and yet nothing is impossible. Due to the tireless efforts starting from our founder Alan Jacobsen back in 1994 to date, many of the office bearers, supporters, donors, volunteers, staff and friends the Nepal Trust has contributed to so much for the humanity in need in Humla. That is why the Nepal Trust and the Rotary names are so well respected in Nepal. I now have the responsibility of keeping the wheel rolling and reaching our targets successfully as planned, drawing on the synergy the Nepal Trust possesses with its history and networks. The readers will benefit reading about the various new projects, programmes and other developments for this year through the different news sharing in this bulletin. I take this opportunity to request you all continue to contribute and participate in this noble cause to magnify our DEED for the Humanity in NEED. Thank you.

  • To Our Rover Scouts English Section
    To Our Rover Scouts English Section By Nguyen Van Thuat 2006 Foreword On The 2nd Edition The booklet “To All Vietnamese Rovers” was first published in 1993 and in 13 years there have been many changes in our lives as well as in our Scouting activities. However, formal regulations have not been put in place for Vietnamese Scouting due to the simple fact that the Scout Association of Vietnam has not been officially re-established. Of course all overseas Vietnamese Scout units need to comply with the regulations of the National Scout Association with which they are registered for membership and activities. In updating information on Rovering activities, this edition of “To All Vietnamese Rovers” has been revised to help Rovers respond to their present needs. This edition can also be regarded as a special contribution as well as a greeting from the author to the upcoming Jamboree Thang Tien 8, which will be held in California, USA from July 8 to July 14, 2006. What I’m hoping to achieve, through this booklet, is to provide you with the main features of the Rover Section and its activities, which may be useful and applicable to overseas Vietnamese Rover Crews. The author wishes to thank Reverend Tien Loc, who was Commissioner for Rovers, the Scout Association of Vietnam before May 1975 for his provision of supplementary details when the booklet was reprinted by the “Rover Section Library” in Vietnam in 2004. For this second edition I have received considerable help and support from the following: • Scouters Le Ngoc Buu (Vietnam), Patricia Styles

This project-based thesis report details the entire process of planning, executing and evaluating a 4-week scout expedition to Nepal. The thesis is commissioned by Suomen Partiolaiset – Finlands Scouter ry (Guides and Scouts of Finland), Finland’s largest youth organization striving to offer children and young people fun and adventurous experiences whilst learning new skills and growing into responsible citizens of the world. The expedition to Nepal is to become a triennial event for the commissioner, and therefore laying a good groundwork is essential. The project began in February 2012 with the selection of Jennamari Terävä as the project leader and Marianna Terävä as the chief of travel arrangements. From there on, this thesis reports the selection of the organizing committee, the initial advertising and selection of the 24 participants, the preparatory meetings, the negotiations between the team and local partners in Nepal, and, finally, the trip, realized in April 2013.
