新學期在每年的四月十五日左右開始。四月的前兩週是孩子們的假期,在漫長的兩個星期當中,除了在育幼院裡看卡通之外,孩子們沒有其他的活動了,因此我請求環宇基金會讓我帶他們出外做教育遊覽。

四月十一日,我帶孩子們到Chiso Pani進行教育遊覽,距離加德滿都約四小時步行路程。這是一個靜謐的自然之地。眺望地平線,孩子們能看見自己的家鄉地區。徒步旅行四小時後,團體在茶館度過一晚。進行叢林之旅,在天然河流中洗澡等等,離開了塵土飛揚的加德滿都,令人精神一振又紓壓。

我們的目的地是尼泊爾著名的蘭塘徒步旅行路線,因此在路上遇到很多外國旅客。我向旅客解釋為什麼帶院童來這裡,向他們簡介尼泊爾旅遊及雪巴族。這次旅行對孩子們來說非常難忘,我介紹了不同的植物、樹木、花朵和許多種的鳥類。孩子們在如此自然的宮殿裡徒步旅行非常開心,還熟悉了各種植物和禽鳥。

四月十二日,我們回到加德滿都。走路四小時後,孩子們去學校拿期末考的成績單。考試結果決定他們是否可以往上升一年級、或者要重讀一年,所以他們要去學校時嚴肅又緊張。我非常確定他們可以通過考試。幸運的是,所有的院童都高分通過,校長甚至建議其中的五位可以連升兩級。四月十六日學校開學,院童們都有新課本。升上新的年級後,他們很高興能與同齡的人一起學習。目前雪巴育幼院共有十八位院童。

 

四月十六日,法籍志工LEA小姐離開雪巴育幼院。她教了院童七個月,院童給她的愛讓她很開心,她答應會再回來。身為志工,她不僅教導院童,也從院童那裡學到了很多。有許多人來尼泊爾進行志願服務,大多數是西方的大專和大學生,他們來育幼院教英語、協助當地NGO、在寺院幫忙、蓋公廁等等。志工多為個人前來,因此我們也在等待台灣的志工團。

REPORT OF SHERPA CHILDREN HOME

April 2017

Since the new academic session begins around the 15th April every year. The first two week of this month was holiday for the children. During the two weeks long gap, children had no more activities besides watching cartoons in SCH. This is why I requested ICEF for taking them to an educational excursion.

 

On April 11, 2017 I took them for educational excursion to Chiso Pani. Its 4hrs walking distance from Kathmandu. It’s a quiet natural place and from there the children could see their home town area in the horizon. All the team spent one over night in the tea house after 4hrs hiking, jungle safari, taking bath in the natural river and so on. It’s really great refreshment and relief after going out from dusty KTM.

 

The destination is the rout of famous Langtang Trekking of Nepal. This is why we met lots of foreign trekkers on the way. I explained them about why they are here and a bit about Nepal Tourism and Sherpa people. The trip was really a memorable for the children. I introduced different plants, tree, flowers and many species of birds. They were very happy by hiking in such a natural palace. They are familiar with many plants and birds.

 

We came back Kathmandu the next day on April 12, 2017. After walking back for 4hrs children went to school to collect the results of final exam. The exam result decides if they can go upper class or repeat the same grade for one more year. This is why they were serious and nervous to go to school.

I was pretty sure that they could pass the exam. Fortunately all the children got pass with great marks. Now five of them even could jump the double class by the advice of school principal.

The school opened on the date of April 16th 2017 and now they all got new books of new class. After jumping the classes now they are very happy to study with same age group. Now there are 18 children living together in SCH from this month (April 2017).

 

A volunteer from France left on 16th of April after teaching children in SCH for 6 months.

She was very happy by the love of our children. She promised that she would come back again in the future. She offered French food to all of us. As a volunteer she not only taught the children but at the same time she learnt a lot from the children. There are many people who come to Nepal for volunteering. Most of they are college and University students from west. They come here for teaching English in orphanage, supporting in local NGO, helping in monastery, building toilets in public etc. They come mostly in single. So, SCH is waiting for some volunteer from Taiwan as well.
