Donations for Nepal
Nepal is a country very close to our hearts. Room 13 HCMC in Kathmandu was the first Room 13 studio to be set up overseas, marking the beginnings of Room 13 International Studio Network.
Several youth expedition teams from the community of Caol have visited the country over the years to support and develop the Room 13 studios in Nepal.
As a result we have many friends and colleagues in Nepal, and close links with charitable organisations and communities who have worked to establish Room 13 projects and bring arts and creativity to the youth of Nepal. In the aftermath of these recent devastating earthquakes, Room 13 International will be collecting donations on behalf of these locally based organisations, which we will send directly to help their efforts to recover and rebuild their communities.
Donations and contributions can be made via Paypal using the link below:
Cheques or money orders can be sent to:
Room 13 International, Unit 1, Glenloy Street, Caol, Fort William, Scotland, PH33 7DR.
Please make cheques payable to Room 13 International, and mark ‘Nepal Fund’ on the back.
Thank you for supporting our global community.
International Art Exhibition for Room 13 Nepal
Room 13 studios in Nepal took part in an amazing international art exhibition celebrating the universal day of children’s rights. Paintings from the young artists at Room 13 HCMC were on show as well as some works from international artists discussing issues concerning children’s rights all over the world.
The exhibition took place at the same time in other participating countries such as; Germany, South Africa, Argentina and Rwanda.
In Nepal the exhibition was inaugurated by chancellor of Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, Mr. Kiran Manandhar. Around 70 visitors including artists, school students, representatives of related organizations and media people visited the one day exhibition.
Shanti Griha, the organisation that supports and develops the Room 13 studios in Nepal are delighted to have made this connection to the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts. They have found the program by Room 13 very effective and have stated that they will support Room 13 Nepal in the future to improve the skills and opportunities for the students.
