| Dhukuchhap, Lalitpr, Nepal Gathering
 Women
from the village of Dhukuchhap, Lalitpur in Nepal celebrated
International Women's Day for the first time in 94 years. The
event was planned to help educate and inspire Nepali women in
the village work together to help weave a better world. Several
programs were presented including
1) "Preparation for Motherhood" to help women
know about safe delivery. This is important information
because every two hours a woman dies in Nepal during childbirth.
2) A music competition where participants were encouraged
to voice their opposition to discrimination through song.
A cash prize was awarded to the winning organization and
that will be used as a scholarship for a girl child.
3) Story telling where women told their stories about their
changing lifestyles and its impact on their village.
Below are some pictures of the gathering.
