PUBLICATION OF AN ILLUSTRATED BOOK

To mark the 30th anniversary of NEL in October, a little book was published which tells the story - in a slightly fictionalised way - of NEL's beginnings, including the famous meeting between Sushi and the Hellers.

It's called "Shanti's Dream".

Two godmothers got together to write and illustrate a 38-page book, 20 x 20 cm,

printed on beautiful satin paper. 

The text is by Marianne; the illustrations are watercolours by Marie-Noëlle Pincanon,

who is also NEL's godmother.

The story is sure to appeal to children aged 7 to 14,

as well as adults, with its description of Kathmandu

and Marie-Noëlle's beautiful drawings and watercolours.

 

The book is sold for €22 in aid of NEL and postage

postage to France is €4.30, giving a total of €26.30. 

Cheque to be sent to the treasurer or transfer to NEL's bank account.

 

 

PROJECT FOR SPRING 2024

 

A wonderful journey to discover the countryside and Nepalese society:

Bernadette will leave for 3 weeks on 6 March with a small group of sponsors and NEL members.

Programme: Hotel accommodation and tour of Kathmandu with Yam, a French-speaking guide.

Welcome at the hostel, picnic with our daughters, then TREK in the Humla region - from Simikot to Lake RARA. The trek of around 5 to 6 hours a day between 2000 and 3000 m will enable us to discover authentic villages with accommodation in local people's homes.

Of course, for our treasurer, it's also an opportunity to meet Sushi, discuss all the problems and check the accounts.

THE MAIL FROM NEL'S SPONSORS

has arrived in Kathmandu in Sushi and Yam's suitcases!

It's always a happy moment for the girls!

YES! We celebrated our 30th anniversary with dignity and joy!

 

"Nepal, Enfance et Lumière's 30th birthday party was a complete success, attracting almost 200 people in the presence of Christine LACOMBE, Sandrine MARTIN and Sophie CHAMBON, representing the Mayor.

The craft market, which opened at 10am, was a great success.

From 2.30pm, the afternoon festivities were much appreciated: the 2 films on the association and then on the conquests of Nepalese women in the Himalayas, interspersed with a short dance show by the children of J-Temps Danse in Malemort, were very well received.

Sushi Gujrati and Yam Lama, Anne Benoit-Janin and Jean-Michel Asselin answered many questions from the audience, who were very curious about all aspects of Nepalese society and the education of children.

Sushi and the group Trad-en-Stock then got most of the audience dancing.

 

The NEL association would like to thank the City of Brive for allowing it to occupy a beautiful festival hall (Espace Chadourne) free of charge.
