Under the slogan “Handball with shaken children”, the Nepalese Handball Association organized an Inter-School Handball Championship, in which 37 teams participated (19 girls’ and 18 boys’ teams).

 

The event was a great success and the next inter-school tournaments are already on their way. The Nepal Handball Association is planning to organize such championships in the region affected by the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal on 25 April 2015 and killed several thousand people. At 7.8 on the Richter scale, this was one of the most powerful earthquakes to strike the region in the past 80 years.

 

Many children were traumatized by this event and with these handball tournaments, the Nepalese Handball Association wants to bring them together and help them get back their joyful spirit. After a successful event in Pokhara, the NHA will also organize an Inter-School Handball Championship in Kathmandu.
