Mankha Secondary School – Construction – Completed!

Shree Saraswati High School, Mankha, Sindhupalchowk – Project has been successfully completed. The inauguration ceremony was on February 15th, 2017.

We are extremely happy to share the news that the construction work has finally been completed after a long wait. Our school was nearing completion before the devastating earthquake damaged the physical structure of the building. We started the repair work again after waiting over a year following the new building code set by government. Inauguration Ceremony is scheduled for February 15th, 2017. Below are few of the most recent pictures of the school building. Thank you to all our team members, volunteers and donors who donated their valuable time, effort and donation to make this great cause possible. Now more than 300 kids in Mankha will be able to benefit from our school. Thank you!

We finally have a picture of our new school in Mankha that was nearing completion. It is damaged, but we are told structurally sound and can be repaired! Unfortunately, the rest of Mankha isn’t. DH Board members will be there to support the villagers in Mankha. We didn’t cancel our trip rather we extended our trip by a week to help. We will be there to help with reconstruction of village now instead of School Grand Opening Ceremony.

Mankha Secondary School – Construction Update – started in November 2014 and estimated completion date of June, 2015.

– Some recent pictures of Mankha School  Construction: Great news as the 1st floor is almost complete and we are very hopeful that the 2nd story will be completed before our trip. Can’t wait to go there!

– Helpers and students are working hard to help build the school…we can’t wait to see it built.

Secretary ~ Apsara Aryal

My name is Apsara Aryal. I was born in Tanahun District, Nepal. I was very interested to help poor and ignorant children since my childhood. When I got married with my husband (Mr. Mukesh Jha) he said, he wants to establish school for street children. I really liked the idea that he said. After a year, he established developing hands as a non-profit organization in USA. He chose me as a Secretary. I would like to thank him as he made me the part of the organization, and gave the opportunity to serve the children.

We established this organization when we got in USA because Nepal is a developing country and we are the poor citizens of the developing country. It was impossible to build a school if there are no funds, as I mentioned Nepal is a developing county so we were not very optimistic to make such large funds to establish school in Nepal. We established an organization here (USA) due to the difference of the currency. $1=Rs.70 ( Rs. is a Nepali Currency), so a child can go to school with $125 for a year. In addition, USA is a developed country with educated people. So, we draw a conclusion that we will get help that we need to establish school for street and needy children. As a human being everyone has right to get knowledge, but due to lack of wealth there are many children living in street in Nepal. We want them to support by providing home and knowledge, and we need your help to get this done.
