20 years of Rostkloppers going to Kathmandu
2003 ging es das erste Mal nach Nepal. Niemand hätte ahnen können was einmal daraus werden würde. Mittlerweile waren im Laufe der Jahre 31 Leute aus Rostock in Nepal. Neben Nepal verbindet uns die Liebe zum Punkrock und zu Hansa Rostock. Einige von uns singen Shantypunk bei „Möwe & Die Ölmützen“, fahren Rad bei den „Punx on Wheelz“ oder machen Musik in Bands wie Fuselwoche, Church of Fluffy, Tortenschlacht oder Feine Sahne Fischfilet. In den letzten 20 Jahren sind viele Freundschaften entstanden und es wurden in Nepal gemeinsame Konzerte mit Rai Ko Ris, Squirt Guns, Anautho Prashna, Pitch Curry, Female Ego, Tank Girl und den Kathmandu Killers gespielt.
We have been supporting a children’s home in Pokhara since 2010. The children’s home has been closed since the coronavirus era. There are no more state subsidies. The families should be supported so that the children can stay at home. Together with our friends Krishna and Santosh, we will buy school materials and other necessary items locally and bring them to the children of the former children’s home in the villages around Pokhara.
We also got involved after the earthquake in 2015 and supported the people in the Tibetan Camp in Pokhara during the coronavirus pandemic.
We played the „Annapurna Ultras Cup – Hansa Supporters Nepal“ at the Tibetan Camp. Due to the invincibility of the Tibetan teams, the cup has had its place in the camp ever since. But we will continue to work on our physical fitness. As training, some of us have already run the Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp. However, tasting freshly distilled rakshi in rural distilleries is not always helpful.
In 2023, we supported our friend Prem Bahadur Kunwar from KarmaFlights in his endeavour to bring winter jackets for children to the mountains in Lower Dolpo in western Nepal. The jackets were sewn locally in Nepal and we brought them to the villages together with KarmaFlights. By jeep into the mountains and then back on foot.
However, as we do not close our eyes to what is happening on our doorstep, we supported the Seapunks in 2023.
We cannot and do not want to stand idly by and watch people drown in the Mediterranean every day. The Seapunks have a ship in the Mediterranean and save lives.
We got to know Barsha Budha Magar on the Winter Jacket Tour 2023. Barsha is an 11-year-old girl from Kanda in Lower Dolpo. She lost her right hand due to burns. Together with KarmaFlights, we would like to organise a prosthesis for her.
To this end, we have launched the „One Hand for Barsha“ project.
