Buffalo Project

Hereby we would like to thank Mr. Toulemonde & Association of D.E.P.A.R.T.S. Micro-credit for your yearly contribution to our micro-credit buffalo project!

All beneficiaries from the last project are paying back their loan to QOLN. They are all doing well. Through your help, many families in Sarangkot can survive now with having this buffalo and selling some milk or ghee (clarified butter).

Namasté!

First, we wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! May Love & Joy enrich your days!

At this moment, Nepal is starting to celebrate its festivals again. The last month, called “POUSH” (from half December until half January) is determined as an unholy month. In this month the religious ceremonies are forbidden.  

On January 15, the first day of the new Nepali month “MAGH”, we had a little festival called Maghe Sakranti. Magh is the name of the Nepali month and Sakranti is the first day of the month. Families gather and eat together on this day.

Namasté!

As Nepal is a country of many traditional festivals, we started celebrating most of them  from the end of July.

I would like to enlighten just one of them: GAI JATRA, "The procession of Sacred Cows", which was celebrated on the 6^th of August.

The "Gai" refers to "cow" and "Jatra" refers to "gathering in procession".
