Kathmandu, Sept 27: A delegation of 38 volunteers from Israeli organisation – “Heroes for Life”, has completed a two-week mission from September 13 to 26 in five different schools in the Kathmandu valley.
Their efforts focused on improving both educational environment and infrastructure (school renovation projects) at these schools. Each year, Heroes for Life returns to the same schools with different volunteers, bringing fresh perspectives and renewed energy to the initiative, while maintaining continuity in their work and ensuring a lasting impact.
This collaborative effort not only addresses educational goals but also fosters people-to-people connection between Nepalis and Israelis, reads a press release issued on Thursday by the Embassy of Israel in Kathmandu. The enduring friendship between Nepal and Israel has been showcased once again through “Heroes for Life.”
In recognition of their contribution, a reception was held at the residence of Israeli Ambassador to Nepal, Hanan Goder on September 23. On the occasion, Ambassador Goder expressed pride in the openhearted approach of the volunteers, schools and collaborating organizations that helped facilitate this process.
Heroes for Life operates in 18 countries around the world and started volunteering in Nepal since 2017. The organization harnesses the commitment of Israeli soldiers traveling after their military service, who pause their journeys to give back to communities they visit.
