Book launch of KARMA – to the benefit of NAG
Tue, 10. December 2024
19:00 – 22:00
Frame, Zürich (CH)
André Lüthi and Frank Baumann tell us about their trip to Kathmandu, their work on the “Karma” book, and their visit to the street children’s home NAG (Nawa Asha Griha = Home of New Hope).
“Karma” is not a biography in the conventional sense. It is a printed listening pleasure – a long and entertaining conversation between the author Frank Baumann and his protagonist, the trained baker André Lüthi, whose travels in the big wide world have culminated in a career that is second to none. The interview was conducted in Ändu’s second home, Nepal – always after long days or hair-raising motorcycle rides over dusty bumpy roads out into the hinterland of the metropolis of Kathmandu. André Lüthi has been closely associated with NAG for years, so NAG also finds its place in the book.
Admission is free (donations supporting NAG are welcome)
NAG – Nawa Asha Griha, Home of New Hopes, is a home for street children in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Your donation to NAG means that you will provide a safe home and education for about 200 children and the opportunity for about 250 children from poor areas to attend school daily. The home and school is run solely with your support and your contribution will be used everywhere it is needed – whether it is to organize school supplies for everyone or food for over 450 people each day.
Thank you for helping the children to have an independent and self-determined future!

Funny and exciting stories from NAG’s everyday life
Five weeks in Kalikot
Our NAGers, who travelled to Kalikot at the beginning of the summer, were well prepared for this exchange throughout the last school year in NAG. Nevertheless, they were all very excited and nervous before leaving. They suddenly realised how privileged and safe their life in NAG had been up to now, despite their difficult stories of origin. The five weeks in Kalikot were an incredibly new and great experience for the young people. Not only was the environment new, the food was different, the people around them, the nature, the weather and the many insects. Nevertheless, all of our NAGers faced this task and returned to NAG with a backpack filled with many wonderful experiences. The NAGers were accommodated in the ODA Foundation and everyone was given an assignment at the beginning, such as "You teach English". Of course, things turned out differently and so our NAGers ended up teaching the students in Kalikot in all subjects. In Kalikot, the students also enjoyed dance, art and sports lessons, and our NAGers spontaneously conjured up lessons for the local children. For some NAGers, the journey to work meant setting off at six in the morning and completing a 45-minute, relatively steep hike. This contributed to some of them returning to NAG very fit after five weeks. To give you, dear readers, a better insight into the young people's experiences, here are a few statements from NAGers about what they took away with them after [...]
