Nepal
Discovering tolerance and respect through creativity
“Every child is an artist.”
Pablo Picasso, artist
Overview
Drug and alcohol addiction, sexual abuse, social tensions, a devastated environment and health problems determine the everyday life of the children. Left alone, they often become street children – and fair game for the stronger. In Nepal, the hostile cold makes it almost impossible to survive on the streets during the winter months.
Painting, drama, dance and music
We support the Moonlight School Center and expand the school’s basic program to include art courses. In these courses, the children learn to express their fears and worries with painting, drama, dance and music. For them, this becomes trauma management and the beginning of a new phase of life with more self-confidence.
In the future we will also try to teach the children image processing on the PC and general PC skills. This is an important prerequisite for independent work and creates the precondition for the kids to get off the streets.
