NECO FOUNDATION

A Warm Namaste to Our Supporters!

Welcome to our latest updates! Thrilled to share the activities of the NECO. Firstly, thank you for being a part of our journey. Your continued support and encouragement empower us to create a nurturing and thriving environment for our children.

Dashain, Tihar and Birthday Celebrations: A Festive Fusion

We wish every person (those who used to celebrate) all over the world have joyous Dashain and Tihar. It’s the festival of joy, love, harmony, prosperity, gratitude and togetherness. Dashain symbolizes the victory of good over evil where we take Tika, Jamara and Blessing from the Seniors. And Tihar, festival of lights, bond between the brothers and sisters, taking tika with seven different colors. Here’s some of the Clips we had in these two festivals. Adding to the joy, we combined the festivities with birthday celebrations, making the occasions even more

CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK JUNGLE SAFARI:
A THRILLING WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE

Way to Jungle Safari by doing Canoe Ride over Rapti River. Can see crocodiles and gharials.

The visit to Chitwan National Park offered an unforgettable jungle safari. Riding through the lush forest, we encountered exotic wildlife, including one horn rhinos, various deer species, monkeys and colorful birds. The canoe ride further enriched the experience. It was a perfect blend of adventure. Thanks to sister Caro and Bishow uncle to give us a chance to explore the most renowned national parks

VIST TO CG TEMPLE: A SPIRITUAL RETREAT

Our visit to the CG Temple was a unique blend of spiritual and architectural marvels. The temple’s grandeur and tranquil surroundings provided a perfect place for reflection and prayers. It was a fulfilling experience, leaving us with a sense of calm and gratitude.

LUMBINI TRIP

With the generous support of Uncle Bill, we got an opportunity to explore Nepal's spiritual heritage site- the birthplace of lord Buddha- Lumbini for one night and two days. The trip was a spiritual journey, exploring the Maya Devi Temple, Ashoka Pillar and monastic zones. The serene environment left us inspired and at peace, fostering a deeper connection to our heritage. Also, we got a golden chance to explore an archaeological site – Tikaurakot, the place before he became Lord Buddha.

HIKING - SOMESHORE TEMPLE : NEPAL - INDIA BORDER

Our journey began with an exhilarating hike to a historical and religious destination located near the Nepal – India border at a top hill with panoramic views of the Madi Valley and the surrounding beautiful landscapes. On the trail we can see the stunning views of dense forest, the Himalayan foothills, rocky foot hill climbs and the rich biodiversity of the religions between India and Nepal. The group enjoyed the breathtaking landscapes, fresh air, historical and religious biodiversity and camaraderie. It was a refreshing escape into nature that left everyone rejuvenated.

VOLUNTEERS HEARTWARMING ACT: OUR VOLUNTEERS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE ON KIDS

We are deeply grateful to Uncle Bill and Caro, selfless volunteers who have gone above and beyond to help our children. With their generous support, the children received essential items like warm clothes, blankets, shoes, slippers, bicycle and sports equipment, allowing them to thrive in school and extracurricular activities. Additionally, our volunteer presence makes a great qualitative impact in education, interaction and communication. Their interaction with kids is praiseworthy. Their kindness has made a lasting difference, bringing joy and hope to the children.
This thoughtful gesture has not only brightened the children’s lives but also reminded us of all the power of kindness and community. Our volunteer incredible contribution has truly brightened our kids, and we look forward to more acts of kindness like this in the future.
