VIN aims to make Jitpurphedi VCD Open Defecation free area. VIN has designed many workcamps and construction projects to build the toilets in Jitpurphedi VDC. In 2014, VIN received 21 volunteers only for Construction of toilet. VIN welcomed 9 volunteers under regular/long term program and 12 volunteer for Workcamp projects for constructing toilet.
In 2014 by the end of August, VIN has completed 30 toilets in Jitpurphedi VDC and 6 toilets are still under construction. In 2014, 36 houses were benefitted with toilets in each of their households. VIN has designed 6 workcamps in 2014 to construct toilet. This project is called ‘Stop open defecation campaign’. Volunteers were very happy to see the results and impact of their work in the community. Constructing toilet has been one of the best programs among the volunteers.
Recently two workcamp volunteers completed their two weeks program with VIN. They were working for construction and manual work program. They ended up the program by completing one toilet and digging two holes for the septic tank. They were very positive and happy to see their work. They helped two households to build toilets. Virginia Puglisi, one of the workcamp volunteer says “The workcamp was very interesting and useful too. It was satisfying for me to build a toilet and to see my goals achieved. Thank you to my nepali family and to VIN for your support, I will recommend your association. It was great to come with you!”
Not only with the Projects and work they were satisfied but they had amazing host family experience which helped them to culturally integrate with people. Virginia further says, “It was nice to live, to eat to work like Nepali people. It was important for me to feel integrated in the family and to don’t feel only like a tourist.” Mathilde from Denmark adds, “We were very happy with family and they have made us understand a lot about Nepalese culture”
Through this project many households have been benefitted with toilets. VIN needs volunteers to help provide the communities with these basic facilities. VIN wants to thank the entire construction volunteer for working so hard and bringing this change in the lives of Jitpurphedi. VIN would not be able to achieve all those goals without the help of the volunteers. VIN still needs volunteer for construction work. If you are interested to help our marginalized communities then join us today!
