The project is to take Self Help Group for Cerebral Palsy (SGCP), a Nepali non-government organization from a 21 year-old organization with no facilities except rented rooms in two buildings to a situation where they have their own land and specifically designed therapy, school and vocational training units.

In 1996 we worked there for over two years and have had a lot of involvement bringing staff to Ireland for short periods of training and funding their own college education in Nepal.

We began the therapy, school and vocational training project in 1997, raising funds and in 2003 bought an acre of farm land. We then put in a road and began construction. In December 2005 the therapy unit with administration on top (pictured on right) began functioning.

The school foundation ceremony was March 8th 2007, and now the first half of the school consisting of four classrooms, accessible toilets and a kitchen area is being built.

After the school is completed, we will set about the vocational training unit, which is for children with cerebral palsy who have sufficient hand function to be able to stay on after school and produce goods to be sold to the local community.

If anyone would run in the Mini-Marathon for us and raise funds we would be very grateful.
