The Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco FounWritten by our Contact Krishna Gurung, here is the blog post featured on the Biodynamic Blog
Our contact Krishna in Nepal was very excited to read about the Heritable Innovation Trust Program saying that it makes them more energized in their mission. The clinic is working perfect for the locals and the tri-monthly progress report on recent work is being prepared. We should be able to post it by the end of August. Four families have gotten training on a parabolic solar cooker and will be making bio briquettes. They will distributing the other solar cookers in a week. Expect to see photos from that and well as an updated brochure with their entire mission!
We received updates from Krishna, our contact in Nepal this past weekend. He has been spending time visiting various places within Nepal which have given him various ideas for the coutnry. The political situation there is unstable but peaceful. The prime minister has recently resigned and many party's prominent leaders are looking to take his place. The monsoon season has also arrived so the community has planted fruit trees near their club house which is serving as the medical facility which was described in his previous update.
The Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco Foundation has renovated a local club house into a clinic this past week. With help from local and foreign volunteers they were able to successfully create a facility for a clinic by day and a school by night. The facility will be used for six village development communities, where no health care is currently provided. At night the clinic also serves as a school teaching literacy to women.
They have had medicine donated by friends of the community.
Travel plans to Mongolia have been finalized and the Heritable Innovation Trust team is ready to leave Monday for Ulaanbaatar. Our hosts from the Mongolian National Business Incubator's Federation, Tsend Enkhtuya and M.P. Zorigt Dashzeveg have been delightfully hospitable, charming, kind and helpful. We very much look forward to the 1st International Forum on Business Incubation and the local countryside experiences to follow. Please stay tuned for updates from the group.
In other news: Our friends at the Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco Foundation have a new Facebook profile.
On this first anniversary of the inaugural Heritable Innovation Trust (HIT) it is fitting to take stock of where we are. There are lessons learned, experience and wisdom gained, and a clarifying impulse to deepen our engagement with this framework for a new, integral value social organization. Growing out of M•CAM’s 12 year design and deployment efforts to build both economic and social charters and practices to ethically engage all humanity in equal opportunity, the HIT appears to hold promise for the manifestation of such a reality.
We have received more updates from our contact in Nepal, Krishna Gurung. It is as follows:
They are now safely back in Nepal and have started their work. Both locals and experts are very enthusiastic about our initiative here. The club house is being renovated with the help of foreign volunteers and locals. When it is done it will be transformed into a local meeting place and free general clinic. An experienced doctor has shown great interest in the project as well as the local school management committee.
We received updates from Krishna, our contact in Nepal. He let us know that the recent volcanic activity in Iceland did not directly affect their community but many tourists were stuck in Kathmandu due to the airports being closed.
Their community just finished a seminar on Biodynamic Agriculture which was very affective. Many people from around Nepal came to the seminar and were enthusiastic about using the techniques in each of their communities. Below are a few photos from the event.
The Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco Foundation is well underway in Kathmandu. Below, you can see pictures of recent developments such as a solar cooker implementation for tea, the gardens in an early stage and the new gateway entrance sign to the village.
