New School Supplies!

Students from the Rai Village school supply event

In Rai Village, Nepal, team lead Pinkey and fellow community health worker volunteers gathered local students for a school supply event! This was an event that was held annually prior to the COVID pandemic to provide children with much-needed school supplies, and the group was excited to meet again.

Supplies distributed included pens, pencils, paper, and coloring materials; masks for both students and parents were provided as well. While visiting, the volunteers encouraged children to regularly attend school, take precautionary health measures, and study hard. Many of the children have been using the small library established through the generosity of HealthEd Connect supporters, and are eagerly looking for new stories and books to fill their minds!

It’s reassuring to see reunions like this one in Rai Village after so long apart due to the pandemic, and we are sharing in the joy you can see on the students faces!
