My life Story

By Lucky k. Chhetri | Founder

At STEM Class

Everyone has their own life. Life is filled with happiness, sadness, tears, smiles, laughter and emotions and everyone has their own life story. So, I have my own separate story. In my family there are five members in my family. Now I am studying in government school -Mahendra school at grade 9. I am studying here from grade 3. Before this school, I was studying at Shree Saraswati Secondary Boarding School. I had to shift to this school at the middle session of grade 2 because my family economic condition was weak. At that time I left school and six months gone by just staying at home. At that time I was not capable to go to government school too. By seeing this condition, an NGO helped me to join grade 3 at Mahendra school. This organization provided me school dress, books, notebooks and pens. Again I started to go to school. After that, also my life was filled with sorrow. When I was 10 years old, there was a big fight in my home. At that time my father did not work. He lived at home drinking alcohol, not paying room rent and it was difficult to get one meal a day. House owner asked to shift the room by not paying rent at time. Due to this problem, my father fight with my uncle, who lived in same house. At that time my uncle told my father to do work and send the children to school.

After that my uncle took me with him and since then me and my mother lived with my uncle. That organization supported me for four five years. If I was not come with my uncle, I will be in same situation. After that organization, my uncle supports me in my all education expenses. About four five years had be gone by living with my uncle. But now also my home situation is worse than before. Not able to pay room rent on time and also my father unstable job- doing whatever job he get and also hanging without job for a month. As my father did not work properly, my mother worked in river bank mining site which is a source of a day’s food for us. The amount earned from this labor is not even sufficient to eat a meal. The situation of my family becomes worse than precious as before I was only child and now there is addition in my family by 8 years old sister and 3 years old brother. My sister studies in the same my current school and my brother in nursery school. My brother school fees had not been paid for long time and don’t know when he will be out from school. It is very difficult to send them in school and I can’t do anything though I want to do.

Sometimes when I go with my friend, my mother or my uncle gives me money. When I roam and hang out with my friends, I forget all my worries. Sometimes there is also happy moment in the home. My uncle is very supportive in my education. I love my uncle more than my mother who gave me birth.

I like to go in new places and hang out with friends. I also like to study and STEM class provided by EWN. How hard and sorrow in life is also a part of life and enjoying a life is in its side. Sometimes happy and sometimes sadness is a part of my life.

Assistant Guide Refreshing Training

By Lucky K. Chhetri | Founder/Managing Director

Assistant Guide Refreshing Training

EWN has expended its training programs to include refreshing course for Assistant Guides to expand their skills to prepare for Guides. The training was started from Jan 13^thto Jan 25^thfor two weeks. The objective of this training was to upgrade the skill of trekking assistant guide. As well as the English classes after the refreshment break. Together with this, we conducted three days workshops – “Alternative to Violence Training Workshop for Peace” to our guides from 26^th-27^th Jan, 2019.

The training starts at 10.30am and ends at 4:15pm.

On the first day of training there was opening ceremony by our director, Lucky Chhetri give formal speech about the purpose of training. Everyone who was part of that day gave their introduction. Then our first class start on topic Himalayan Society and culture by our permanent trekking guide Indra Bahadur Rai. English class was taken by our volunteers as daily schedule for 2 hours.

On the second day of training they learnt about culture and tradition which was highly demanded by assistant guides. During the trekking field they were mostly asked by trekkers about the cultures and traditions now they are able to give information to trekkers about culture and tradition of Nepal. Also they learn about effective way of communicating with trekkers.

On the third day of training class start at sharp 10.30 on topic culture and tradition. It was broader topic for the participants as they were unknown about cultures and tradition of mountains people. Like in daily schedule they learnt English class from the volunteers from different countries.

On the fourth day of training the class schedule was same as 3^rd day, class continued with same topic. About English class participants were divided into 3 groups for English class by 4 volunteers.

On the fifth day assistant guides were on field to visit monastery and temple with their subject teacher to learn about religions. They explore new knowledge and information from the field and were feeling excited in practical field.

On the sixth day of training our guest teacher started at 10:30 am on topic History of Nepal. This was also one of the subjects demanded by assistant guides. They told us that some trekkers also ask about the history of Nepal and they have very less information but now they are capable of answering those questions. Might be they have got information to response trekkers.

Saturday was public holiday so office was closed.

On the eighth day of training class start with our guest lecturer and topic for that was flora and fauna. During the trekking field they used to observe many plants and animals which they were unknown even they don't even know their names. So it was the interesting topic for them. After that our class ends by learning English class.

The schedule for day nine was similar to day eighth as topic was same flora and fauna but they went for short trip to explore new things.

On the tenth day of training the topic was map reading. This topic was also demanded by the participants of the training. In this training topic are choosen by participants themselves. So this training enhances the knowledge skills during field.

On the eleventh day of training the topic was geography. On that day few guides were absent as they went for trekking. Otherwise class was running smoothly.

On the 12^th day, topic was first aid. Our guest lecture taught about emergency first aid useful during traveling mountains. While trekking people suffer from low attitude, cold, injuries, sunstroke, sunburn and other sickness so this topic was equally important for guide in emergency case.

After twelfth day they have regular English classes for extra 2 weeks to improve the English language to communicate with the trekker guests.

At last, we are very thankful to all the volunteers, guides, guest teachers, staffs, donors and partner who were supportive during training period.
