CWBI’s project at the school in Nalang in the Dhading district,90 Kilometers away from Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu has officially begun with the construction of toilet facilities at the Patle School. These facilities are located within the school grounds and provide the school children a safe alternative to venturing into the surrounding wilderness. Through these measures, and with the expected addition of adequate fencing around the school property, Youth Without Boundaries leader Rajan Pandit is envisioning a much safer education environment for the children. Together with local leaders, Mr. Pandit has successfully petitioned Nepal’s central government and they have agreed to put in $2500 of the $ 7,000 necessary to build the toilet and fences.

Communities Without Boundaries International, Inc. is pleased to report that the village of Ratanpuri in Birgunj District received its first CDMA phone line this past weekend.

In June 2012 Communities Without Boundaries International visited the Nepalese village of Nalang in the Dhadhing district. The CWBI team carried out an initial fact finding mission at the local school, meeting with the principal, teachers and local community leaders. Youth Without Boundaries members participated in a tree planting campaign and painted several schoolrooms that were in disrepair.
Nalang village, which is three hours away from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal,suffers from a lack of certain basic resources and infrastructure. Youth Without Boundaries member Rajan Pandit spearheaded the integrated development project and was joined by YWB members from over ten countries during the program visit. The Chaos to Community™ Nalang Project will oversee the improvement of the facilities of the Nalang Patle School and the construction of the village’s first library.

In June 2012, Communities Without Boundaries International visited a Chaos to Community™-Ratanpuri Project initiated by Youth Without Boundaries member AbishekKarn. The project integrates fish farming and pig keeping in Ratanpuri, a village about 100 kilometers south of Kathmandu. Electricity is available in the Bara District village, although upper level education and hospital facilities are available only in nearby Nijgadh or Birgunj. Water for the village is supplied from the LalBakeya River via a 5.5-kilometer pipeline. Due to the Nepalese civil war, the government’s financial and technical assistance to the village has since been withdrawn, and assistance must come from other sources.

Communities Without Boundaries International together with Youth Without Boundaries members in Nepal will be installing a phone in Ratanpuri later this week. This will provide the community with their first line of communication with the outside world. The phone is just the beginning of a series of community building and community development projects we are moving forward with in rural Nepal.
