Dear sponsors and supporters,

Namaste.

Despite all adversities, transport difficulties, snowfalls and days of unusually intense rain, the construction of the health station in Gope progressed rapidly. On 03/26/2022, after only four months of construction, the health station in Gope, Solu Khumbu can be handed over to the community of Gope-Lokhim.

This is especially due to the energetic support of the people in the village community of Gope and the wonderfully coordinated team with construction manager Ram Kumar Tamang, architect Madhav Regmi, foreman Kancha Tamang and our ingenious driver Picas Tamang.

After the opening, all further operating and labor costs will be covered by the government. We are very happy that everything went so smoothly. None of our previous construction sites were so challenging in their location. Transportation, weather conditions and a complete lack of infrastructure had to be overcome, and the people involved succeeded brilliantly. Certainly, financing is the essential prerequisite for this project, but without the people in charge on site we would never have managed it in this quality.

Below you will find a small photo gallery with all the important steps in the progress of the construction.

Thank you, Namaste, to all who supported us once again. For about 5,000 people life will improve tangibly. Babies will be able to be born in a safe environment and their chance of survival will be high.

The construction costs of € 84,500.00 were only slightly above the calculation of € 80,000.00. Thanks to the cooperation with Deswos contributing € 40.000,00 and NB&G Switzerland contributing € 22.500,00 we could manage the financing well.

But as in the past so often: Only with your donations all the projects are feasible. They are spent 100% on what they are intended for.

Of course we will report about the completed health station.

Thank you very much for your support
