Lions Children’s Park

Due to a lack of funding and education, Pokhara originally did not have any form of public recreational centre or park. Through the work of the Lions Club of Pokhara Annapurna, a recreational park was built especially for children. The land was provided by Pokhara Nagar Panchayat at Parshang, ward no-5.

Mr. Narendra Kuma Chaudhary, the Zonal Commissioner, laid the foundation stone for the Lions Children’s Park on Social Service day, 2046/6/5. After a long struggle, the Lions Club of Pokhara Annapurna was able to complete the children’s park at a cost of 26,14,132 rupees. The Yamaji Culture Foundation donated 15,50,000 rupees to this cause. Mrs Lila Koirala, the Social Service Minister, and Mrs Fumiku Yamaji, the Yamaji Culture Foundation President,  jointly inaugurated the park on 2052/9/8.

The park has play equipment, a fishpond, toilet facilities, a Shiva temple and a guard shed, and blooms with a number of different plants and flowers. To complete this park, many friends of the Lions devoted their time, money and ideas. With the hard work of Lion Sonam Sangpo, the park was completed. Now, with the help of the Furuya family, the park is being maintained so that families can continue to enjoy the facilities, worship at the temple and relax.

Kalika High School

With the help of Working Group, Duisburg Germany and the German Nepal Help Association, the Lions Club of Pokhara Annapurna was able to build a science laboratory for Kalika High School. This building cost 450,000 rupees. We also supplied science lab equipment, to the value of 450,000 rupees, and 60,000 rupees worth of stationary. Our final contribution was to donate 16, 500 rupees to support the local scout club and the local youth club.

Kuldeep Primary School

Alongside the German Embassy and the Lions Club of Kathmandu, the Lions Club of Pokhara Annapurna was able to construct the Kuldeep Lions Primary School. The cost of this project was 207,817 rupees. The school now includes four classrooms and one office, and can comfortably accommodate more than fifty students. The students who attend this school live in a remote area, and were in desperate need of accessible school facilities. The school was inaugurated on 2050/08/05. Since the renovations, the regular attendance rate has increased to 70. This project was led by Lion Sonam Sangpo.
