We organized a Astronomy Activities for the Earthquake affected students in three different places Gorkha, Nuwakot and Kathmandu most earthquake affected district in Nepal. there was 8.2 magnitude earthquake last year 2015, and Hundreds of thousands of people their school going children were made homeless with entire villages flattened, across many districts of the country by the earthquake last year in Nepal. Centuries-old buildings including many schools were destroyed.
Investment will not only be required on infrastructure but also on psychosocial counseling to ensure
that children are able to cope with the trauma and resume with their lives. We think Astronomy may help them to forget the fear of the earthquake because of it will be unique and new for their school activities. We are focusing our activities in the one, school which are most affected in Nepal.
So we choose
i. Chandesori Higher Secondary School in Nuwakot
ii. Sanskrit Secondary School, Ranipokhari, Kathmandu
iii. Manakamana Uchha Ma. Vi, Gorkha
All above three schools were fully destroyed by the earthquake, all school building were smashed
and all are government school. We did the progrmme in the school ground and in cracked room of
the school.
