A One-day Free Cardiac Clinic was organized at Dhapakhel VDC of Lalitpur district on Saturday, 27 July 2002.

The free clinic was organized by the Netherlands Alumni Association of Nepal (NAAN) with the help of NORVIC Health Care and Research Centre, Thapathali and Dhapakhel VDC. Around 80 local villagers, mostly the old and poor people benefited from this free clinic. Speaking on the occasion, the President of NAAN, Mr. Naresh Pradhan thanked NORVIC Health Centre for helping to make the health camp a success.

The Honorary Consul of Royal Dutch Consulate to Nepal, H.E. Jan de Witte inaugurated the programme. Mr. De Witte also visited Jalpa Higher School as well as other places in Dhapakhel VDC.

Interaction/Orientation Program for the new NFP Participants

•  An 'Interaction/Orientation Program' is scheduled on 25 August 2002. This program will be held at the Summit Hotel at 3.00 p.m.

• This program is being organized for new participants who have received the NFP scholarship for 2002/03 from different institutes in the Netherlands. The Honorary Consul of Royal Dutch Consulate to Nepal H.E. Jan de Witte has been requested to be the guest of honor.

• The main Objective of the program is to provide advance information about the institutes that the new students will be attending from former students. The program will feature a slideshow about the social and cultural lifestyle of the Netherlands.

• In the past new students have had confusions about what they need to take with them to the Netherlands. As a result, some end up packing unnecessary belonging, which has made their travel uncomfortable and difficult. During the program, new students will therefore be able to interact with former students and be able to learn what needs to be taken and what needs to be left at home. They will also learn about the basic do's and don'ts while living in the Netherlands.

•  

• Queries from the new participants will be entertained.

Launching of NAAN Website

•  During the 'Interaction/Orientation Program' on 24 August 2002 the website of NAAN will be launched by H.E. Honorary Consul Jan de Witte.

• The website will contain an introduction about NAAN, its objectives, vision, mission and activities. It will also provide detailed information about the Executive Committee as well as general members. Likewise, it will provide information about Dutch organizations working in Nepal, the Netherlands Fellowship Program (NFP). The website will contain links to the NFP and other important sites.

Launching of Membership Directory-2002

• The membership directory-2002 of NAAN will also be launched and disseminated among members on 25 August 2002.

• The directory will provide an inventory of members who have obtained higher degrees from the Netherlands since the late 70's.
