ANOTHER NEPAL, book by M.Bechet
Marc Bechet, 83, is a simple hiker who became passionate about this village and its warm-hearted inhabitants as part of the development work being carried out in the village of Basa Rapcha by the association Au Népal un village une amitié en marche. The Khaling Rai welcomed him and his wife Jacqueline Béchet on numerous occasions, opening their homes and their hearts to them. He recounts these true moments of humanity and universality.

To the Chairman, ANUVAM, France.
In this regard, ANUVAM has been helping Mapya Dudhkoshi Rural Municipality Ward No. 2 (Ward No. 7, 8 and 9 of former Basa VDC) Rapchha for the past many years in various sectors such as education, health, and building development infrastructures.

Nepal photo exhibition by Jean-Claude Raimbault
At the La Croix Blanche mutualist centre from 4 to 30 November 2019.
Opening on Friday 8 November from 6.30 pm.
I’ve been walking in Nepal for 40 years. As an amateur photographer, I’ve been taking part in photographic art fairs for several years now. Through this exhibition, I’d like to share some of the most intense experiences I’ve had in meeting the landscapes and people of this country.
I’m one of the founding members of the ANUVAM association: “Au Népal, Un Village, une Amitié en Marche”, which for 25 years has been contributing to the development of the village of Rapcha, in the Everest region, in the fields of education, health and culture.
New solidarity initiatives after the 2019 AGM
In the spring of 2019, our association ANUVAM was able to take a calm decision at its General Meeting in Théoule to continue its earthquake-resistant construction work in Basa Rapcha, thanks in particular to the support of its usual partners, reinforced by a substantial contribution of 15,000 euros from the association of employees of the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC Développement solidaire ) to build 6 new earthquake-resistant houses for families living in precarious conditions.
The funding application submitted to this organisation was selected according to their criteria to benefit from partial funding and was valued as a contribution to the local economy.

ANUVAM and the local community of Basa-Rapcha would like to thank CDC Développement Solidaire for their support for sustainable social housing. The 17 projects selected are available on their website www.cdcdeveloppementsolidaire.org, including 6 that have been singled out for their support for the local economy, including the Basa Rapcha project (employment and training in earthquake-resistant construction and attention to the sustainable quality of our project in Nepal).
In autumn 2019, after the monsoon season, the workers will start work on the first phase of 3 houses for families designated by the local community on the basis of social criteria.

The Basa Khali Secondary School Alumni Association also played an active part in this Golden Jubilee event, which involved all the families in all the hamlets.
The leaders of the association had the opportunity to express their gratitude to ANUVAM last year in Kathmandu and were proud to proclaim that more than 800 young people from Basa-Rapcha over the last 20 years had obtained their secondary school leaving certificate in the village.
The ANUVAM association, which had been officially invited to attend this jubilee but was unable to make it due to dates and availability, was particularly keen to thank Jase Rai, chairman of the secondary school committee, and to mark its participation by distributing scholarships.
