Work:
FFN started to build a multi-purpose building here in 2002. Now this building construction work is at its final stage. We have taken it as a model project. It will be a house built by volunteers. We are also developing an attractive garden around the building. Aswell volunteers will help in day-to-day work in the park i.e. gardening, clearing of picnic spots and feeding to animals in mini zoo aswell as other similar tasks.
Location:
The project location is Martyrs Memorial Park situated on the top of a small hill near Hetauda City of Makwanpur district (about 120km from Kathmandu). This is the first such a kind of public park in Nepal established by local initiative (by Hetauda Municipality). We have been organizing international projects here to help in constructing and designing the park since 2000. All volunteers travel together from Kathmandu to camp site Hetauda. FFN manage group traveling to get work camp place. Therefore volunteer need to be one day before the camp date. If volunteer come late, he or she will travel alone but FFN will help to catch right transportation. A public bus takes about 6 hour to get Hetauda.
