NRDCP and it's activities

Nepal is well known for world’s one of the natural resources country. As world is growing fast, Nepal also changes  rapidly, population in city, dense pollution, natural disasters occurred more in decades, pollutions in rivers, and floods are become common problems in Nepal, poverty rates are high, unemployment  rate is high, water, electricity(loadsheding), roads, education are some basic problems still a major problem to solve for this country, from children (orphanage or  child labor) to old people (who does not have any common welfare or program for them such as fooding, sheltering, or provide medical care) are looking help, as population grows nature are cut off so fast that global warming effected Nepal as well.

Considering all these problems, NRDCP is a group that worries, thinks and intend to work for the solutions. NRDCP organized volunteer works, making fund, doing helpful programs and events time to time for nature and needed peoples reliefs, NRDCP already worked for nature, society, and for people, and have been proved its stronger desire for small changes which connect better future in every field. NRDCP always focusing on which really matters most in our nature, country, society, and in peoples life. NRDCP works in many field but this year we only focus and working in small programs, events, because we believe a small things change and connect future and people, and we need to change world together. NRDCP’s upcoming programs are;

• Nature: Afforestation, sustainable development, preserving the environment, ecosystem,  wildlife reservation, cleaning lakes and saving nature
• Society and people: providing teaching in school by volunteers, and doing events of donation books, clothes, promote educations in remote areas.
• Helpless elder citizens: organizing events, and collecting donations for providing them shelter, food and medical treatment,
•  Learn and developing programs: As Nepal is poor country, normal citizen wages are too low to survive theirs family especially in remote or rural areas, so NRDCP is making programs to teach courses, to learn and developing skills programs which help their earnings.
• Handicapped and Disability: Nepal is a very poor country, people in the rural areas usually have difficulties in the daily life. They are out of reach of the many facilities like well education, health, transport and some other basic needs. So some of the children in the rural areas of Nepal suffer from malnutrition which cause various diseases and which also lead them to have some disabilities in the body. These kind of children in Nepal use to be helpless because of the financial problem in their family. There are not such beneficial kind of programs by the government to overcome these kind of problems. The handicapped people in Nepal doesn't get the facilities like developed countries provide to their handicapped citizens.
• Mass Awareness: Awareness to people about solutions to various problems like global warming, sustainable development, Importance of education, child abuse, human trafficking, gender discrimination, deforestation and different natural disasters. Once a week NRDCP organize a program where people can share the opinions among different members and other participants about the topics mentioned above to enhance the knowledge among people and activity of NRDCP.

Effects of global warming in Nepal

The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole, and everywhere in between. Globally, the mercury is already up more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius), and even more in sensitive polar regions. And the effects of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future. They’re happening right now. Signs are appearing all over, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it’s also shifting precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move.

Mount Everest (also known in Nepal as Sagarmatha and in Tibet as Qomolangma) is the Earth's highest mountain. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas located in Nepal. Its peak is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level and is the 5th furthest point from the center of the Earth. The international border between China and Nepal runs across the precise summit point. Its massif includes neighboring peaks Lhotse, 8,516 m (27,940 ft); Nuptse, 7,855 m (25,771 ft) and Changtse, 7,580 m (24,870 ft).

Even a very small increase in temperature could change the climate of Mount Everest. Melting ice and snow could cause glacial lakes to burst, which would lead to extensive flooding. Melting glaciers could cause rockslides and avalanches that would be a danger to the fragile ecosystem on the mountain. The melting glaciers would also change the quantity of fresh water stored and produced on the mountain. Lack of fresh water would endanger plant and animal life in the valleys below. Loss of glaciers and snow would change the appearance of Mount Everest from a snow-covered landscape to a rocky mountain peak with patches of snow.

Volunteer In Nepal

NRDC Nepal was formed in 2004 to better serve and enhance the relationship between the Nepalese people and volunteers who seek a heartfelt, profound, and life-changing experience.

We have been accepting around 60 volunteers a year for several years now, representing six of seven continents and a wide range of talents and ages. We have found the experience to be life altering and affirming for both the volunteers and the Nepalese they serve, and the volunteers remaining close to the NRDC Nepal family long after.

The village Trishuli awakened in him the never completely dormant desire to serve others. The utter poverty was in sharp contrast to the joy he found in the children, the incredible natural beauty of Trisoli, and the gratitude, hospitality and humor of the people he served. Two children in particular, Sangita and her younger brother Saroj, formed an immediate bond with a volunteer named John and at month’s end accompanied him back to Kathmandu where he placed them in a boarding school. John then returned to the States where he put his affairs in order, placed his property on the market and made a mad dash back to Nepal and his two new children.
