The Olympic Truce ....... is
a tradition originating from ancient
Greece that dates back to 776 BC.
A "truce"
(Ancient Greek: ékécheiria,
meaning "laying down of arms") was announced
before and during the Olympic
Games to ensure the host city state (Elis)
was not attacked and athletes and spectators could
travel safely to the Games and peacefully return to
their respective countries.
Welcome to A Ray of Hope
UNESCO Youth Ambassador for the Culture of Peace
Nepal – although all
our completed projects are pleasing, the discovery
of the condition experienced by the children in
Kavre Deaf School dormitories caused us some
concern and demonstrated a need for immediate
action. Although slightly delayed by examinations
the complete refurbishment of 4 dormitories with
new curtains and accessories is now completed and
will be a more comfortable and appropriate and
healthier environment for the children to rest. I
have no doubt that Kavre Deaf School will again
feature in our projects in the months to come .
Thank you to Rasmita for managing this initiative
and to the multiple sponsors for their generosity to
allow our objectives to come to fruition.
