Gorakhani Welfare Society was founded in 2007 with the kind initiative of Gelu Sherpa, who is working 9 years tourism field and visited almost part of Nepal and Tibet. He also sponsored the needed cost of 2 teachers used for transfer the precious knowledge of the old lamas (monks) to the young boys and girls of the village of Gorakhani VDC, in Solukhumbu district, in the lower Everest region.
However, the program proved very fruitful and successfully created a number of young monks. This success was very enthusiastic though not enough and he also felt that only the monastic education can not transform the society in the current situation. And by a single person’s financial support can not help to a society. Realizing this, the Gorakhani welfare society was created in order to help the backward people playing the bridge-role in between the Helpless people and kind-hearted donors around the world.
Geographically, in this village the primary school is in located at a distance of about 15 minutes far where as the high school is situated at about distance of 3-4 hours.
So, the young children of below 10 years are stayed in the village not going to school because of the distance that they could not pass the densely forest and in Monsoon Season because of the rain. And the parents of this area, as of other areas too due to heavy burden of the workload they couldn't give time to bring their children to the school.
Thus, aiming to help all those parents and the children, this organization has been planning to launch a Lower Secondary school in the heart of this isolated but a beautiful village. |
