From Volunteers word June 12, 2015 Deepika Dhakal, Sundarijal, Kathmandu Himalayan Whitehouse Int'l College, Kathmandu I am from Himalayan Whitehouse International College situated at New Baneshwor, Kathmandu. Through the college Director, I got the golden chance to be the part of CDRA Nepal for a certain period to be engaging in transitional shelter project in Mahadevsthan-3, Kavre. When I first reached here I was unfamiliar to other volunteers and villagers, so I felt uncomfortable to collaborate with them. But when I begin to speak with them, they became more frank and shared their pain and sorrow with me that they had felt in earthquake. It was surprising to see them happy even though they lost everything their home, relatives. From this we can learn that Nepalese have much more power to handle their problem and battle against sorrow. Now all the villagers are actively involved with us to build their own shelters. My little effort makes great relief to them. So, from my inner heart I feel glad. Rotary Education kit presented by Rtn.

8 Challenges Problems All materials weren't available from first day, so we had hard time creating plans. Wooden posts weren't vertical and straight. Some woods were too weak and some too strong to nail. Lack of coordination from local people, as they went to work. Execessive heat during day, so couldn t work full day. Problem nailing the bamboo frame as its slippery. Conclusion As estimated, work finished in time and everything went well. Some of the villagers were very excited and enthuastic to help. They were very thankful to us, the volunteers, as we were totally dedicated to help them during these hard condition and time. They were also thankful to Rotary /CDRA for providing such priceless help. Volunteers fixing wooden posts Volunteers, partners in service, donors and supporters are welcome to join us.
