| Planning as a team |
Thank you for developing the BlogSpot about MSEIP. You have
written the story of MSEIP and how it was generated. So this makes me feel comfortable
to keep in touch with community and ECCA for betterment of MSEIP in the future
too. Now I feel more relaxed and comfortable seeing the changes in the
leadership of children, youth. Everyone now sends their children to academic institutions
such as schools and boarding schools compared to the 19 years ago. Back then,
nobody could speak English, but now most youths speak English, villagers lacked
knowledge about importance of education, but now they know. In those
days, schools, health post, sanitation (making toilets, using clean
drinking water and collecting waste) were not done, but now they are done by the
community. The numbers of SLC [School Leavers Certificate] who have passed, has
increased in the village more than in 18-19 years ago. Some trekking guides
followed my ideas and they start to help
in the community schools, health posts and other community sectors with the
help of abroad social workers and INGs and NGOs. For example, Kaule Tamang guided
"Classrooms in the Clouds UK" to MLSS to build school building and Mahesh
has established boarding school with the help of "Chris and Dot" from
UK.
In Putalikath HSS, one of trekking guides guided Europeans to construct school
buildings for one hundred lakh (big money). I mean here I am proud that youths
followed my ides. I just shared my relaxed emotions with you but I am not jealous
of them. I thanked them for doing such actions for the community.
Seeing these changes in the community, I think I was the first to generate
ideas and I heartily thank you for being a good partner of me to change the community.
In the village now, people have schools, roads, academic youths, electricity
and hardworking people in the community but no medical facilities and
employment. But I want to see these two things too in the future for them, and
then they will have quality life style. Anyway now, seeing these changes I feel
relax and comfortable.
