It is hoped that this will translate to a change in attitudes and practices.

Floods in Sunsari
The Koshi dam on the Saptakoshi river in Sunsari district of Nepal collapsed on Monday 18 August after breaching surrounding embankments, flooding neighbouring villages.
Our main co-ordinator at UCHEP has informed us that the former Project UB communities at Madhuwan-9, and West kushaha-6 and 7 have been directly affected. Telephone services are almost entirely unavailable, and the highway linking the east and west sides of the country has been severely damaged in parts.
More information on the flooding can be found on the BBC. We will update you on the status of present and former UB communities as and when we hear from UCHEP.
