The Vicki Sherpa Eduqual Foundation
is going to create a Shelter in Pakistan
The shelter wills take-in orphaned children
and widow's victims of the October 8 earthquake
As a result of the earthquake of Pakistan, Vicki Sherpa Eduqual
Foundation has decided to set up immediately a centre of help
for the victims of the catastrophe that shocked the region of
the Kashmir and the north of the country. We will focus taking-in
especially young girls who have missed hers parents, and widow
women which have lost their child.
The Foundation will be responsible of this new project with
Horizon, our partnership in Pakistan. Vicki Sherpa, Eduqual's
founder, together with a specialized team of teachers and psychologists,
will move right away to Pakistan, concretely to Pind Bhagwal.
The project has two stages; The first stages it will be establish
the shelter as a permanent residence; The second stage it will
be the creation of a teachers training for native teachers.
Right now, the situation in the zone is especially tough for
many children who have missed theirs parents. The efforts of
Pakistan's Government are focus on the children covered in the
few hospitals that still standing. For that reason, many of
the survivors have few alternatives to survive; searching refuge
in madrassas (Koran school) or become beggars.
With the implementation of the project, the residents of the
centre will receive, food, lodging, sanitary and psychological
attention and quality education. In order to achieve this purpose,
we need an initial amount of 9,000 € and about 600 €
a month. According to our financial capacity, we will be able
to extend the attention to a greater number of affected people.
Whoever who wants to collaborate to the creation the shelter
in Pakistan can do it donating through the account number of
the Vicki Sherpa Eduqual Foundation in La Caixa, adding the
key "Pakistan Emergency".
