After years of war, a Comprehensive Peace Accord was reached between the government of Nepal and the Maoist insurgents. World Forum Global Leader, Deepak Raj Sapkota reports that since then, efforts have been ongoing to draft a new constitution abolishing the monarchy and installing a democratic form of government. While heated debate over the wording of the constitution continues, the current version includes, in Article 24, a declaration of the rights of children which includes these rights....

Congratulations and celebrations for the children of Nepal. I spend four wonderful years working in Nepal as the Chief of Education UNICEF and went back two years ago. Nepali people the most resilient and generous people I have met I am very happy as a Child Rights worker that now the Rights of Child are stronger in place.
With appreciation for all I will recall what it was a logo while I was there Andes and Himalayas for the children of Nepal. Metaphorically refer to the strengh of the mountains since I am from Peru.

The Creation of HEMS Parliament / HEMS Olympics 2065
Diana Suskind Ed.D, Associate Professor
“Let this serve to inspire us, here in America and around the world to cherish our right to vote and encourage us to make informed political decisions.”
How implementing school-learning centers provides academic rigor, hands- on approach, understanding and ownership to what is happening in the world and is relevant to the child and her future. Nepalese people voted for the very first time in Nepal’s history to elect representatives for the Constituent Assembly from the various political parties. The elected representatives by direct election and proportional system have the responsibility to draft and introduce a new constitution in Nepal. Nepalese government was formed with a coalition among other political parties before this election and Nepal was still a Kingdom. * Can you imagine?
I was invited to return (2008) to Nepal to be the international witness for this event for the children at HEMS SCHOOL/ HEMS Parliament. Nepalese children saw their parents vote for the first time all over their country from the noisy, dusty, crowded Kathmandu to the most remote villages in Nepal. The people walked miles, some barefoot to vote over stones, rocks, and hills, others stood in lines for hours to vote, to vote for the very first time.
In Ratopul, Kathmandu HEMS faculty for the very first time provided their children, have turned this historical Parliament 2065 of “voting” into their reality for the very first time. Though this election was conducted in a school among the students, it has a significant importance to the politics of a nation. The very young students, selecting speaker and practicing parliament is a symbol of lasting democracy which has just been started in Nepal after the Declaration of Republic by the Constitution Assembly. These students are preparing to become future participants and leaders of a democratic Nepal.
HEMS Olympics was organized the 15th of August. It achieved the goal of cooperative, competitive and demonstrations through the implementation of Learning Centers. It proves very important for our Nepalese children to become aware of our athletics involvement in the Summer Olympics and learn from their perseverance and hard work, as well as their participation in a world competition that is peaceful in nature.
The objective of the program was to create an awareness for the children of this international event, to teach the students about the history and development of Olympics, to share cooperativeness, competitiveness and demonstrate through the implementation of teacher/student created learning centers, to inform the children about the Nepalese involvement in past/present Olympics, to teach the students about the official games involved in the Olympics and others that are included in HEMS Olympics, to demonstrate hard work is essential to be successful and to
develop knowledge Nepal a relatively small country and HEMS School are doing their part to achieve the goals of the Olympics.
Principal and I created to document this historic event as well as photos of the HEMS Olympics, a parenting course and staff training. It can be viewed on http://falcon.fsc.edu/~dsuskind
