We are now back from Katmandu with recharged batteries and a greater motivation to work together with our new colleagues in Nepal.

Working with children and young people is an essential part of this process, SPACE (sfi) and RUWON clearly express this responsibility through the action and dedication they are taking day to day ensuring trusted support, freedoms and advocacy that their members have not previously experienced. Freedom to Learn very much hopes to expand it’s work into Nepal, fundraising and sponsoring such projects, and we would like to express our thanks to our Katmandu’s colleagues for the opportunity to do so.
