Queridos/as Amigos/a
Las alumnas aumentan en nuestro Cultural Center EL NIU FELIÇ – THE KHUSHI NEST de Katmandú (Nepal) que ya han llegado a pasar 550 en estos 15 años y es debido a la gran vocación pedagógica que tienen las profesoras Shanti, Sadikshya y Eureka. Lo veréis en las actividades de este Agosto 2026:
- Además de las clases de Nepalí, Matemáticas, Inglés, Ciencias sociales, Filosofía, Dibujo creativo hemos tenido clases de Yoga para agilizar el cuerpo física y psíquicamente…Hemos ido al Cine y comentado cada una de nosotras qué nos ha llamado más la atención de la película, enriqueciéndonos con nuestros comentarios
- Nos han gustado mucho las CAJITAS y adornos que hemos hecho con palitos de helados. Hemos puesto mucho color con las PULSERAS que cada una de nosotras ha hecho. Debajo del Sari llevamos unas BLUSAS que cada una hemos hecho a nuestra medida. Las alumnas a las que les gusta la FOTOGRAFÍA han presentado las fotos de lo que han visto en su vida diaria…
- En nuestro PERIÓDICO interno TKNT (The Khushi Nest Time), exponemos vivencias de este Agosto que queremos compartir con vosotros
Como veis ha sido un mes movidito en el que hemos aprendido muchas cosas y nos lo hemos pasado muy bien compartiendo cada una de nosotras lo que sabía hacer
Esto os desea todo el Equipo, que compartáis lo que sabéis que es la manera de aprender más y de ampliar los horizontes de quienes nos rodean!!!
Con tan buenos pensamientos os deseamos lo mejor de lo mejor para hoy y siempre!!!
Gran, fuerte y cálido abrazo

SHANTI MAHARJAN, TEACHER
I want to share some thought of mine in topic Flood and climate justice.
Nepal is highly vulnerable to floods and other climate-related disasters because of its steep landscape, fragile environment, intense monsoon rainfall, and many river systems. Every year, heavy rainfall causes rivers and streams to overflow, damaging homes, roads, farmland, and livelihoods, while forcing many families to leave their communities. Climate change is making these events more frequent and unpredictable, and the impacts are often felt most strongly by poor and marginalized communities. This raises an important issue of climate justice as Nepal has contributed very little to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet it faces some of the serious consequences of climate change. Therefore, addressing flood disasters is not only about building stronger infrastructure or improving early-warning systems; it is also about ensuring that vulnerable communities receive the support, resources, and opportunities they need to adapt and recover.
URIKA PRADHAN, TEACHER
I want to share about diseases occurring in this weather in this monsoon month.
As the monsoon season is taking place it is occurred due to contamination of water resources, increased humidity and so on. Stagnant rainwater acts as a primary breeding ground for mosquitoes, causing a surge in vector-borne illnesses. It causes high fever, severe headache, rash, and intense joint pain due to dengue. Spread by the Anopheles mosquito. Key symptoms include cyclic high-grade fever, severe chills, sweating, and body aches with Malaria. Due to Gastroenteritis & Cholera which Lead to acute stomach cramps, vomiting, and severe, watery diarrhea (often called «rice-water stools» in cholera cases) that can cause rapid, life-threatening dehydration. Due to typhoid fever, a highly contagious bacterial infection causing a prolonged, gradually rising fever, severe fatigue, headache, and abdominal pain. Hepatitis A & E are the viral infections targeting the liver, leading to symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), dark urine, nausea, and intense fatigue. A dangerous bacterial infection contracted by walking barefoot or with open wounds through waterlogged streets contaminated with animal urine (especially from rats). It presents with high fever, severe calf pain, and red eye. Skin infection, Constant dampness, wet shoes, and humid weather create the perfect environment for ringworm, athlete’s foot, and other fungal irritations. Viral Flu is the Fluctuations in temperature lower immunity, making the common cold, seasonal influenza, and highly contagious conjunctivitis (eye flu) spread very quickly.
KHEMA SHRESTHA (SADIKSHYA), TEACHER
I want to give deepest heartfelt condolence who died in landslide, flood disaster of Recent crisis. The landslide and flood has been occurred; firstly as for the information, there was slightly earthquake occur in China which is border side of Nepal and China. Earthquake shakes the plates of land, a rapid slope failure involving a glacier in Langtang National Park triggered a colossal debris avalanche. After that thick rocks fall down part, wall of mud and the level of water emerging heavily with speed hit against the lhende khola and trishuli river sector, whole area has been swept out. Many houses has been drowned and floated away. Many bridges, float away and hydropower electricity generating sector has been destroyed which build electricity. As per data, 900 people died till now, 4000 plus people are missing. Rescue team are on their way in search of people, police and Army are doing their best and working hard. Again china is giving warning about next landslide and flood as glacier ice rock is collapsing the continuously falling down, due to global warming, the bank of river is being collected, it will break the river barrier and might create massive landslide more than before. People are making aware who lives near river, they must be very careful.
Nepal is getting financial help, support and food and shelter by various foreigh countries which is great news but it is not enough. This is very uncertain natural crisis which has been facing by Nepal now. We need to be strong and if possible, uniting together we need to provide help.
THE END…
