五月份除了固定的行事曆，雪巴育幼院沒有任何特別的活動。如同往常，所有的院童按時去學校。每一位院童都健康，也學習得很好。由於舉行地方選舉，5月10日至5月15日學校停課五天。
2017年尼泊爾地方選舉分為兩個階段舉行。5月14日舉行第一階段選舉，第二階段於6月23日舉行。地方選舉已延滯二十年。2006年在國王(賈南德拉)時期舉行地方選舉，但是被各大政黨所抵制。隨著新憲法在2015年頒布，引進了中央、省、地方三級治理制度。新的地方政府透過改變現有的城市和村莊發展委員會，成立於2017年3月10日。地方政府設有一名主席/市長、一名副主席/副市長。地方政府進一步細分為行政區，設有行政區主席和四名成員。四名成員當中的二名必須是女性。根據2015年新憲法，所有的條款將實行五年。

二十年來，地方政府沒有人民代表。地方居民認為這個差距導致尼泊爾沒有任何地區性的發展。
現在大多數的當地人民對於尼泊爾的發展是肯定的。地方選舉對尼泊爾人民來說非常特別。地方的領導人說，這是實踐尼泊爾人民建立的新憲法。由於權力下放，地方選舉吸引了每一位尼泊爾人民。當地人民非常高興，因為他們可以從當地辦事處得到更多的預算和大部分的政府文件。

REPORT OF SHERPA CHILDREN HOME
May 2017
Beside the regular schedule of SCH there was no special activity in the month of May.
As usual all the children go to school regularly. Every one SCH are healthy and studying very well. There was no school for 5 days from 10th May to 15th May, 2017 because of local election.
The 2017 Nepalese local elections are scheduled to be held in Nepal in two phases. The first phase of Local election was held on 14th May 2017 and the next phase will be held on 23 June 2017. The local election has been held after 20 years. The last local election was held in 2006 under the King but it was boycotted by the major political parties. With the promulgation of the new constitution in 2015, a three-tier governance system was introduced, with Central, provincial and local levels of governance. The new local levels government were formed by changing the existing cities and village development council and came into existence on 10 March 2017. Local levels will have a Chairman/Mayor and a Deputy chairman/mayor. Local levels are further subdivided into wards which will have a ward chairman and 4 members. Out of the 4 members 2 must be female. All terms are for a total of 5 years according to the new constitution 2015.

Local Level Type |
Position |
| Metropolitan City | One Mayor, One Deputy Mayor, One Ward Chairman, 4 Ward members |
| Sub Metropolitan City | One Mayor, One Deputy Mayor, One Ward Chairman, 4 Ward members |
| Municipality | One Mayor, One Deputy Mayor, One Ward Chairman, 4 Ward members |
| Rural Municipality | One Chairman, One Deputy Chairman, One Ward Chairman, 4 Ward members |
There were no people’s representative in local levels for 20 years and the local people consider that because of this gap there wasn’t any development in local area of Nepal.
Now most of the local people are positive about the development of Nepal. The local election was very special for the Nepalese people. The local leader said this is the practice of new constitution formed by Nepalese people. The local elections attracted every Nepalese due to the power decentralization. The local people are very happy because they can get more budget and most of the government documentation from the local office.
