尼泊爾這個將它與世界最高峰額菲爾士峰聯繫起來的國家，於2015年遭受自1934年以來最強烈地震的蹂躪。地震造成逾7000人喪生，財物損毀極為嚴重。國內2700萬人口中，24.8%處於極端貧窮中，文盲率高達57%。這些人的處境令人極度擔憂，卻不為人所知。慈幼會非政府組織「鮑思高網絡」面對如此景況，將繼續勉力提供協助，重建基礎設施，並強化國家的未來：學校。
「鮑思高網絡」為當地人民提供協助。這場對國家造成廣泛破壞的地震已發生逾一年，然而「尚有很多散居各處偏遠村落的家庭，需要慈幼會士繼續提供糧食、淨水器、鍍鋅瓦片及遮擋風雨的塑膠防水纖維。」
對尼泊爾來說，與政府的協議「似乎有點成果。經過與尼泊爾政府磋商，以及提交重建所需要的計劃後，慈幼會士將展開重建十二所位於地震重災區公立學校的工作，這些地區包括：拉梅查普、多拉哈、辛胡帕疇及拿列普。」
慈幼會士到達這些地區，進行有關建築物情況的統計調查，並開始準備購買物料及設置器材，使能在雨季過後，便可展開重建這些中心的工作，不致延誤，讓在這些偏遠地區的兒童及青年，能在安全合適的場所上課。
Rebuilding schools and planning for the future
(ANS - Nepal –Kathmandu, 01 July 2016) – In the year 2015, Nepal, whose name we associate with Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, had suffered the worst earthquake since 1934. There were more than 7000 earthquake victims and the material damages were very heavy. This country has a population of 27 million inhabitants, with an extreme poverty rate of 24.8% while illiterates form 57% of the population. These are numbers that speak of a hidden and disturbing reality. In the face of all this, the Salesian NGO "Don Bosco Network" continues its efforts to help rebuild the basic structures and to strengthen the country's future: the schools.
The "Don Bosco Network" provides assistance to the population. It's been over a year since the earthquake that devastated much of the country, and "there are still many families in small isolated villages, in which the Salesians continue to bring assistance with food, water filters, galvanized roofing and plastic waterproof fabrics to protect themselves from the rains."
The agreements with the government, "seem to be bearing fruits – referring to Nepal - and after negotiations with the Nepalese government, and after presenting the needed plans for the reconstruction, the Salesians will begin the reconstruction of 12 public schools in areas most affected by the earthquake, such as: Ramechap, Dolakha, Sindhupalchowk and Lalitpur. "
The Salesians moved to these places to conduct a survey of the condition of the buildings and start preparations for the procurement of materials and preparation of the equipment, so that once the rainy season has passed, it is possible to start rebuilding these centers without delay and thus allow the children and young people in these more isolated places to have class activities in suitable structures and free of hazards.
