Dear Julia & Brigitte,
I would like to congratulate you for your successful (with hard work) 5 years.
I also wish for more success for the coming years.
I am remembering very freshly when you both visited this school for the1st time
5 years ago with $ 100 usd. collected from people of Delft and The Hague. You
were very serious to use that money. After knowing all the situation of this
school, you went by yourself to the market and bought many books for the
children, which was very much needed at that moment. I was very impressed
looking your seriousness and devotion for the children. I think the poor
situation of this school's children had touched your hearts and you think to do
some more help. I think this matter led you toward a mission to help the
children who are really in trouble. As result, you formed an organization
named, Stichting Namaste Nepal, which is the donor now for the 167 children for
their education in a good school, where they never dream to get chance to study
in, if Stichting Namasate Nepal WOULD NOT support them.
I can feel
your desire and devotion to help the students, which always gave them power to
work hard and struggle beyond their capacity. I cannot say exactly, but I can
feel how difficult time you faced in the beginning. I think it was an unlimited
struggle. You also have been visiting school when you have little time to
holiday.
At your presence children's faces are always bright. You love children from
inner core of their heart. The children also respect you very much as you care
them more then their parents.
You always feel happy to work for the children such as to paint their classroom ,clean the dustbin , play with them interesting game and teach them to play some new games. You gave a lots of instructions to the teachers and principal and discuss with them about school and children about dealing with students and policy making to improve the status of school.

It was a very small school when you started to support. There
were only 3 classes with 6o children and 3 teachers. Now there are 6 classes and
6 teachers with 167 students.
This all has happened because of your hard working and intension to support as more as helpless children as you can support. You worked very hard and were very devoted to get more one class every year as the year finished. It was not easy to add more one class every year, because bigger class cost more money too.
Every year many people from Holland visit the school. On your web-site you ask
people from Holland to bring the school a visit and do something for the
children. People from Holland not only visit the school, but also bring lots
of useful things for the school like ballpen, football, pencils and stationary
goods. They also bring old clothes which these children can use and become very
happy getting these clothes. They buy many playing things when they are in
school like football, volleyball, skippingrope, etc. They share their time with
the children and teachers. They always feel very happy looking all these good
works going on. Most people find it important to make a food party for children
who never get good food at their home. They buy all the vegetables and other
necessary things in the help of management and children and cook themselves in
the help of some children and teachers. At last they give a big portion of
delicious food to each of the children by themselves.

Children feel
very thankful to the visitors who cook food for them which is very healthy. It
is the happiest day for the children. The visitors also feel a kind of special
feeling that they could do something special for children who are really in
need of help. I think that is a very special moment for the visitors. At last
they give them
very fresh seasonable fruits which is rear for this children. These all work
make very memorable time for visitors that he is loosing small amount of money
and getting so special feeling, a feeling of sacrifice and making hundreds of
faces so happy, even it is for short time.
These children feel very happy at school where they not only get a special
education without any cost, but also get friendly environment with lots of
playing materials.
Teachers also feel very good at school as they are getting an opportunity to
work for these helpless children. They feel good inside to serve these children.
Now there are 4 male teachers and 2 female teachers in the school.

It was a great time when you visit and give party to the
children. I have been working with you for more than 5 years and I think that
you were very kind hearted and serious for the education of the children. You
work calmly when problem appear. I would like to congratulate you for your
hardest efforts for the school. I wish for you more and more success in the
future.
Nepal is a
very poor country. Nepal's half population is totally illiterate and live in
absolute poverty .The population of this country is about 23 million and half of
the populations are
children. The income of half population is less than 100us$. Therefore many
children have dark future and education is being very far beyond their approach.
Inside this
huge problem this school is trying to teach more and more helpless children and
making their future brighter giving a quality education in English medium which
only rich people can offer in Nepal. The help of Stichting Namaste Nepal is
making a brighter future for these poor and helpless children.
I am so thankful for your kind support and good dealing with all matters. I
believe that the great God is always watching and looking for an opportunity to
reward you. I want to congratulate you for your hardest but the best work (one
ever can do), and wish for more and more success in your coming life.
0n the
occasion of the 5th anniversary of the foundation :
May God help to flourish this foundation more and more brightly under the
leadership of Julia de Zwart and Brigitte de Jong !!
With great respect,
Agni Prasad Siwakoti
