A campaign to increase awareness


NHCC Drama
Originally uploaded by Kishan Devkota.
NHCC organised a drama about cultural practice to get rid of diseases. They use some ritual process and equippments. Theese practices are not scientifically proven hence are not to be followed but millions of people are just following it as part of their culture. Even educated people have not forgotten these stuffs which are not good for people. Tradition like these are to be avoided, more than culture, these are superstitions.

A tough challenge for NHCC and ECWZ

A recent research done by one organisation in the ECWZ project area has shown shocking data. About 300 girls/women have been sold to brothels in many Indian cities and even to third countries to feed prostitution network. Southeast area of the district is badly affected by girls trafficking problem. After declaration of ceasefire by Maoist and Govt., that prostitution network has been more active. Poverty and lack of awareness are main cause of girls trafficking in rural villages. Girls are sold about 25000 Nepalese Currency, it means the price of a cheapest computer and a Buffalo is same as the value of the girls. In some cases even relatives and family have sent their own daughter/wife to make money. Don’t know how many of them are HIV positive and if they have HIV, it will be more disastrous because in Mongolian society, sexual freedom is seen. Some of the girls who have returned from brothels, have started like small restaurant in Kathmandu and other central cities. There is a maximum chance of their continuity of the same job. Prostitution in the name of Cabin Restaurant and Message Centre in Kathmandu is quite common. Sometime we hear that police arrest some sex workers.In central jail, sundhara, more than 70 HIV positive found out of 150. Blood bank of Red Cross was going to organise blood donation programme and checked their blood in jail and got this data. Most of the facts have been hidden and Govt. and concerned organisations are also not unfolding this issue. In Nepal 1000000000 NC was brought to fight against HIV AIDS but still there is no difference. Expansion of HIV in this ration will make the country like Africa one day.Law to stop prostitution and girls trafficking is very strict but still lots of girls are being sold. Agents pretend to arrange their (Girls) foreign employment from Delhi so girls and their family think its ok to fly from Delhi and their target is Gulf countries. But girls do not fly from Delhi. Anyone can guess those girls, who have not language and any other skills other than working in field and their own language, and go to those countries where their skill and qualification does not work. Recently parliament has passed another Foreign Employment Act to encourage females to go to foreign countries and work. This will increase HIV positives and prostitution. They make money and could be beneficial for country in terms of tax but can bring serious problem in future.In Rasuwa NHCC, a children club formed with the guidance and support of ECWZ has started social awareness campaign to fight against this trend. Girls and their family should understand potential disaster which will destroy their family and eventually their society. Road drama and other social awareness activities will be organised to address these contemporary issues. ECWZ is always concentrating in the welfare of the children and people in remote Nepal. One campaign has been started as SOCIAL AWARENESS THROUGH EDUCATION

Rock The Deli

Once you try to climb rocks which you find everywhere in the villages and in National park area in Rasuwa, you may feel you are in Rock Climbing Centre. There are a lot of Rocks of different types and size that you can try at any of them independently. “Rock The Deli” is about 20 meter high and there are some rocks which are just 2-3 meter which are easy to climb. Experience the native culture of Rural Nepal and have an adventure with the unclimbed and untouched Rocks of Rasuwa. You will forget Namche and Tenzin Rock once you experience on these rocks.

NHCC, exploring the native apartness of remote villages


Lama dance @ NHCC
Originally uploaded by Kishan Devkota.




NHCC has started a campaign to protect native culture of the remote villages of Rasuwa. Since its formation, NHCC is highly committed and dedicated to ensure welfare of the people in the lap of remote Langtang. NHCC, through its member from more than seven villages at the moment, combines all the cultural heritages through its several cultural shows. Especially Tamang and Barmhin culture are found in remote villages. Young generation has accepted the challenge to protect tradition and native apartness of the culture of Rasuwa whereas people are being unknown from which culture and tradition they are.
Youth participation to make their own society is the central idea of the club. Currently NHCC has 100 members but there are a lot of children who wish to be the member of the club.
