True to the spirit of Service Above Self, the Rotary Club of Mount Everest, Lalitpur, successfully carried out a meaningful humanitarian activity in collaboration with Nepal ENT Center and Rotary Club of Patan East supported by Rotary Club of Chatswood International, NSW Australia, bringing hope, confidence, and smiles to patients in need.

This initiative was driven by a simple yet powerful objective: to improve the quality of life of individuals by providing them with an essential Hearing-aid device that would help them reconnect with the world around them. Through careful planning, coordination, and teamwork, Rotary members worked closely with medical professionals to ensure that every beneficiary received proper screening, fitting, and guidance.

On the day of the event (January 17, 2026), screened patients were welcomed with warmth and care. Under expert supervision from the Nepal ENT Center team, each patient was evaluated and supported throughout the process. Rotary members and volunteers including RCC Khokana were actively involved, ensuring smooth coordination and comfortable experience for all.

As a tangible outcome of this initiative, a total of 40 hearing aid devices were distributed to screened patients during the program held on November 22, 2025, in Khokana.

The true success of the program was reflected not in numbers, but in emotions. As patients wore the device, their faces lit up with joy—smiles that spoke louder than words. For many, it was a life-changing moment, restoring not just functionality, but confidence, connection, and happiness. Witnessing these moments reaffirmed the purpose of Rotary service and the power of collective action.

Rtn. Timila, VP RC Mount Everest, and Rtn. Nitu Baranwal, IPP RC Patan East, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the teams from Nepal ENT Center for their invaluable support, noting that the radiant smiles of the patients were the greatest reward of the initiative. They also emphasized the importance of sharing this journey as a success story—one that captures how compassion, partnership, and commitment can create a lasting impact.

This project stands as a proud example of what Rotary can achieve when clubs and partners come together with a shared vision. More than an activity, it was a reminder that even a small effort, when driven by empathy, can bring relentless smiles and meaningful change to the community.

As a part of Service Project towards social responsibility, on 23rd November 2025, members of Rotary Club of Mount
Everest Lalitpur contributed financial donations to Shree Bhadrakali Secondary School, Bhumlikot-6, Gorkha. The School currently has 105 male students and 102 female students. Most students have to walk 3 to 4 everyday to get
to the School and study. Due to this reason, the number of enrolled students were reducing every year. But since last
few years, the School management has started a small residential facility within the School vicinity, to help students who need to walk long distance everyday. The school is providing rooms and meals everyday to the needy students and the impact was clearly visible. The no. of students has steadily increased and the students passed with good grades.

Rotary Club of Mount Everest Lalitpur is very proud to support this School in Gorkha, so that the needy students can cut the “walking to school” time, concentrate on studies and receive quality education without having to think of
boarding and meals. Our donation would help the students towards their everyday meals and other residential facilities.

The donation cheque was handed over to the School Management at the School premises, by our Club president
Rtn. Ravi Lamichhane and Club Secretary Rtn. Sandeep Amir Kansakar, in the presence of Assistant Governor
Dist.3292, Rtn. Gautam Shrestha.

Rotary Club of Mount Everest Lalitpur successfully organized an “Ear listening capability screening Camp” on 22nd November 2025 at the premises of Shree Rurayanee Secondary School, Khokana, Lalitpur. A total of 108 residents
of Khokana were screened for various ear and listening problems. The local residents ranging from age 5 to 91 years
were benefitted from the Camp, of whom 80% were senior citizens above the age of 70. A total of 39 residents had hearing loss problem, 16 had discharging ear problem, 7 had perforation problems, a number of them had impacted
wax and others required simple medication. The screening as well as medicines were distributed free of cost. A follow-up camp will be organized after three weeks, where free hearing aid devices will be distributed to the residents requiring the device.

Rotary Club of Mount Everest Lalitpur sincerely appreciates the expert technical support of Nepal ENT Center, Pulchowk, Lalitpur and the team of Dr. Chandan Baranwal, Dr. Prajjwol Pathak, Audiologist Susan Dahit for making this screening camp a great success. We would also like to thank our partner club – Rotary Club of Patan East for their valuable support, local coordination assistance from the office of Lalitpur Metropolitan City Ward no.21, RCC Khokana and Interact Club of Shree Rudrayanee Secondary School, along with the management of Shree Rudrayanee Secondary School for providing us the venue for the Camp.
