With another huge earthquake shortly after, many lives were lost and infrastructure and homes were destroyed. When their friends in Nepal organized a relief effort two ladies from York decided to help. They joined an international group of volunteers to trek to a remote part of Nepal and build a school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helpinghandsfornepal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Flags-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Prayer Flags in Nepal\" class=\"wp-image-563\" style=\"width:1070px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helpinghandsfornepal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Flags-edited.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.helpinghandsfornepal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Flags-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.helpinghandsfornepal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Flags-edited-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prayer Flags in Nepal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wonderful people of Nepal and its culture touched their hearts and Helping Hands was born. Initially, cashmere pashminas, ponchos, and artisan gifts from Nepal were sold. They were sold through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/amadablamcashmere\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amadablam Cashmere<\/a> to support the school and a young girl in Thamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their passion for supporting Nepal fascinated their friends. A team was formed for another project. Delayed by COVID-19, the team set off in 2022 to work with local Nepalese builders and painters. The team improved the environments in two schools, Jalpa Devi and Jalpa Shree in the district of <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.namastesindhupalchowk.com\/blog\/places-to-visit-in-sindhupalchowk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sindhupalchok<\/a> District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you like to know more?
