60 Israeli volunteers complete school volunteering program in Nepal

KATHMANDU: A group of 60 Israeli volunteers from Heroes for Life, an Israeli non-governmental organisation (NGO), has completed a volunteering programme at eight government and public schools in Kathmandu and Lalitpur, along with a two-day engagement with the Down Syndrome Society Nepal.

The programme aimed to promote fun and creative learning activities that encourage students to think beyond conventional approaches. The volunteers also participated in school renovation projects, including painting and creating artistic murals.

The volunteers arrived in Nepal in two batches of 30. The first group carried out its activities from September 4 to 17, while the second group volunteered from September 28 to October 8.
