Great idea, good luck with it!
I have tried to post a message on your forum, I even registered, but unfortunately couldn't. This is what I was getting: "Sorry, but only users granted special access can reply to posts in this forum."
Anyway, would you be so kind to post my message on your forum "1000 plans for the development of Nepal" thanks.

To solve the problem in Nepal you need to empower communities by education. There's a Chinese saying "It's better to teach them how to fish, than to give them fish"
We visited Nepal twice and on our last trip we met Sanu Kaji Shrestha, the founder of FoST (Foundation of Sustainable Technologies)
The organization FoST is providing low-cost, low-tech, easily adaptable and locally built sustainable technologies to improve the lifes of the poor people living in the rural areas of Nepal and to protect the very fragile environment of Nepal.
They have been providing wide selection of products for cooking, drying, heat retaining and water purification using both solar and other environment-friendly sustainable technologies.
They are also working to further empower Nepalis, especially women, by providing training and employment opportunities through projects designed to create micro-enterprises in sustainable technology.
With very limited resources they are doing research and they are constantly evaluating existing sustainable technologies and adapting them to the specific resources and needs of Nepal.
FoST is also offering education to improve the lifes of the poor people living in the rural areas of Nepal. They regularly organize interactive training workshops and seminars for community members and schools to educate the public on the need for sustainable technologies and to protect the very fragile environment.
It's really a great organization and my husband and I have a lot of respect for Mr. Sanu Kaji Shrestha's ideas, dedication and most important perseverance, because it is not always easy and they must constantly seek new sources of funding to survive. He is doing great work and we hope that this selfless, hard working Nepalese man finally gets the attention he deserves.
FoST's concept of empowering communities and protecting the environment by using simple, cheap and clean sustainable technologies can be applied not only in Nepal, but worldwide.
If you want the world to know about FoST vote for them at The World Challenge 2007, a global competition organized by BBC World, Shell and Newsweek.
