Happy Udhauli & Yomari Punhi to everyone!

Today we honour the earth, the harvest, and the changing seasons. For the Kirat community, Udhauli marks the time to give thanks to Mother Nature and celebrate the harvest with traditional dances and prayers.

For the Newar community, Yomari Punhi brings the joy of the harvest season — families gather to prepare and share sweet rice-flour delicacies called “yomari,” expressing gratitude for the yield and praying for abundance in the year ahead.

May this day bring warmth, prosperity, and unity across all communities. Let’s remember to appreciate the land that feeds us, and spread goodwill and kindness.

Arnakot: A Small Story of Opportunities Growing from the Seed of Education

This film, created by our volunteer Tobias Wagner, was shot during a five-day visit to Arnakot in the second week of November, followed by a return journey through Dhorpatan to Pokhara. It reflects 15 years of development efforts and transformative progress in Arnakot, made possible through the collaboration of partner organizations, the active participation of the local community, the ownership of the local government, the support of friends and sponsors from near and far, in proactive local leadership.

The documentary highlights the commitment and solidarity demonstrated by Surya Bahadur Gharti Magar, the Chairperson of Nisikhola Rural Municipality and the entire municipal team,
the humanitarian efforts of Cécile Pelous and her team of AAA as well as the team of Unica Foundation & Nepal Red Cross Society Kaski, all contributing to Arnakot’s development.

Situated in a rugged yet breathtakingly beautiful mountain landscape, Arnakot shows how education, unity, determination, and a shared vision can transform even the most challenging terrain into a place of opportunity.

Because when the seed of education is planted, the flowers of opportunity begin to bloom — and through collective effort, collaboration, and unwavering commitment, a brighter and more hopeful future can be built.
