Sitting in an office in London it is easy to lose sight of the overall aims of a charity such as Our Sansar. With our projects being undertaken over 4,000 miles away there are times when we all need to take a step back and appreciate what is being done. With the...

Last week an Our Sansar representative sat down with a few street children in an attempt to get an insight into the life of a child on the streets, unsurprisingly there was much reluctance to talk however there was one child who was prepared to share his story. For...

In 2002, when my husband Chris and I decided to start the Travel Photographer of the Year competition, to show the world that this genre is about so much more than just pretty postcard snaps, there were many things I didn’t anticipate. In the early days we only took...

Time is flying and it has now been over a month since I started my Vodafone placement with Our Sansar. My position has been a dual role of event assistant and education officer.  On the Event side of things, I have very exciting news- Our Sansar comedy nights will be...

Friday the 12th April saw the world come together to acknowledge International Day of Street Children. Recognition of this day is global; however there is no official status for this event. One of the primary functions of the global campaign was to get the UN to...

Last weekend a fire broke out in the village of Dhore, Nepal.  Luckily there were no human casualties; however the fire quickly spread and over 200 homes were destroyed. Our Sansar workers, based in Nepal, were shown property and commodities that were destroyed during...

A year ago, the boy's mother went missing; after her disappearance the boy was informed that she had been arrested over the border in India for possession of heroin. The sentence handed to her was for a minimum of 5 years, to be carried out in an Indian prison. With...

I was afraid to face the humid and hot climate of Terai, especially coming from Finland, where heat is not something we are used to. Now everyone in Fattepur village, in Bara district, knows a lot of stereotypes about my cold country and its people. And I know a lot...

A short update from our Chitwan meetings – again, very delayed with everything because of car/driver problems but we managed to do what we needed.We had a meeting with Krishna (trustee) which went well, discussed street children etc. Then we met with Hamro Ghar – the...

Some more updates – more tomorrow as it’s getting dark and no electricity. We’re in Chitwan now. So in chronological order:Birgunj – after our meetings there we were taken on a little sightseeing tour by our driver and ended up in India – no visas but there was nobody...

So Hetauda day – very beautiful area, very easy to navigate. Throughout the whole day we managed to only do two meetings but it was definitely worth it. The first meeting was with a school in a village near Hetauda. This was really successful as this school is a...

So just a short blog now about our way from Kathmandu to Hetauda. Pretty much an unlucky day but very interesting. The strikes in Kathmandu started again but not on a large scale – it was more of a demonstration rather than strike, organised by students but still most...

Yesterday was a very long day, packed with meetings.  But they were all really successful with some great ideas for Our Sansar. We met with Lata who is a teacher trainer here.  She is fantastic! We are looking at running a ‘train the trainer’ programme with her, with...

We arrived on Tuesday morning so are still adjusting to the time difference after our travels to other countries. Kathmandu is what we expected - very relaxed (well, compared to other Asian cities!) and very exciting - and amazing food! We had a fantastic greeting at...
