Dreamspeakers launch and farewell to Chetana

We've had 2 big pieces of news this week that we'd like to share with you all.

Chetana

First of all, we are sad to announce that one of our Senior Project Managers, Chetana Tulachan, has decided to leave Mitrataa to pursue her big dreams to change Nepal's future. Chetana has been a part of the Mitrataa' family for many years and has been at the heart of many of our successes. When Chetana first accepted our offer of a role in Mitrataa, we didn't have an office or a real job description! But with her passion and commitment, Chetana:

• was integral to the opening of the first Dream Centre, grasping the concept quickly, influencing various stakeholders to help them understand what we were trying to achieve and training a great team of facilitators in Diwakar, Gayatri and Elina. We now have over 300 girls in our Dream Centre network;
• has hosted school groups from MLC and St Catherines as well as numerous other volunteers and visitors;
• represented Mitrataa before various ministries  as we established our INGO status in Nepal;
• has built and led a fantastic team of inspiring, creative, passionate individuals who all work so well to achieve the amazing success we have been fortunate enough to deliver for our stakeholders.

And this is only a small part of what she has achieved!

On behalf of all the Mitrataa family, we thank you, Chetana, from the bottom of our hearts for all your energy and enthusiasm. We have loved having you on the team and we look forward to keeping in touch and following your progress towards your dreams.

Dreamspeakers Blog

A message from Diwakar, our DCN Project Manager, about our exciting new blog to celebrate the creativity of our Dream Centre girls:

"Dreamspeakers is the blog for our Dream Centre students. We believe that most of our girls have different kinds of creative talents. Some of them might have hidden it whereas others are seeking mediums for expression. This blog will be platform for their creativity that ranges from poems to paintings. This platform will take our girls around the globe, so they can share their beautiful works more widely than within the narrow circle of their classmates.

Since the blog will be updated by the team very closely working with the child writers, the feedback and comments the posts receive from the readers will help the writers to improve on their writing."

Please do check in often and see the wonderful talent of our girls!
