TUSHITA
TRAVEL CRS
(1) PERMACULTURE
(Solution for sustainability):
Therefore, we have started ECO
FARM as a learning platform for
the farmers of Nepal. It can be
an agricultural museum for the
foreigners too. We have been receiving
guest for Eco Farm visit and farm
stay in order to experience Nepalese
agriculture system. Visit at:
www.ecofarmnepal.com
(2) ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION
:
Climate change has become global
problematic issue. And, understanding
its worse impact, Tushita travel
puts its strength in environment
conservation as a result; tree
plantation and civic awareness
campaign are its active role played
in the society. We have planted
more than 7000 trees within 5
years. This teaches people not
only to plant trees for the green
world but also to plant new ideas
“creativity”. We make ‘cotton
bags’ & ‘Green T-Shirts’ written
“SAVE OUR EARTH” and distribute
among school students in order
to make them environmentally aware
(3) FEWA LAKE & WATER
HYACIANTH:
Beautiful lake Fewa was loosing
its charm & beauty just because
of Water Hyacinth spread. Therefore,
encouraging tourism related organization
2 days hyacinth remove program
was organized. Just not removing
it, we have tried for making compost
and succeeded. We took 30 % of
the wastage in Eco Farm for compost.
In this context, Tushita Travel
provides Rs 10,000 every year
to the Fewa Boat Club for Fewa
lake environment conservation.
(4) SOLAR ENERGY:
We have to recognize and accept
God gifts. Spreading this important
message, we have been encouraging
villagers to use solar energy
for the natures shake. Even, we
have used Solar for cooking, boiling,
drying and hot bath purpose. Alternative
energy like of Wind energy, bio-
gas and solar energy keeps a society
well balanced. Mr. Allart www.solarcooking.wikia.com
and Mr Sanu Kaji of FOST is providing
technical support in this regard.
(5) SHIITAKE CULTIVATION:
We have cultivated mushrooms in
straw and supplied to Tushita
Organic Restaurant. And from this
year 2009 we have started Shiitake
Musroom cultivation in alder logs
encouraging Thak Village people.
As an experimental phase we have
cultivated just in 2000 logs.
Altitude of 1800 m and deep jungle
has been chosen for the site.
Mr. Tika Aryal and Mina Gurung
have provided technical and financial
support for this project. Our
sincere thankfulness goes to Thanaka
company & Nava Farm for technical
skill assistance and Mr Fuino
for co-ordination.
(6) EMPOWERING WOMEN:
Approximately 61 % women of Nepal
are illiterate and helpless. All
they have to depend upon elder
family or husband. Therefore,
in order to empower women we frequently
organize skill transformation
program, education classes. We
take volunteers and technical
expert for their moral and financial
support. For instance, Women civic
conscious development Nepal and
Women Skill development have played
vital role in women empowerment
where as Tushita does networking.
(7) EDUCATION & HEALTH
SUPPORT:
No doubt, without the sound education
in every child we can not expect
Nepal’s bright future. Therefore,
Tushita organizes volunteer groups
and takes to villages in order
to built infrastructures / library
/ income generating sources. To
name few, Buddha Foundation Japan
has provided technical support
in making Japanese hand fan “Uchiwa”
among jobless group. Those fans
are sold in Japan and the profit
grant goes to schools. Likewise,
Coffee farm might be another important
income source. The same group
and Germany group conducts free
health campaign thrice in a year.
Dr. Yamaguchi is the key person
to run this health campaign. My
heartiest thankfulness goes to
Dr. Yamaguchi (one of the famous
cardiologist of Japan) for his
kindness, pure heart to serve
needy patients of Nepal.
