KATHMANDU: Infinite Cares, the corporate social responsibility arm of Infinite Software Services Nepal, held a health, technology and education camp at Shree Sindhupuranagaun Secondary School in Melamchi Municipality-5, Sindhupalchok district, on Sunday. The event reached 352 students, teachers and guardians.

Titled 'Vision for All – School Day', the event included a free eye screening in partnership with Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology. Participants received vision checks, and those needing correction were given prescription eyeglasses and medicines at no cost.

Meanwhile, Samaj Dental Hospital provided dental check-ups and oral-health sessions, distributed dental hygiene kits and carried out tooth extractions for attendees requiring immediate treatment.

In addition, mental-health and personal-safety activities formed part of the programme. Psychologists Elena Gurung and Dr Roshan Pudasaini led Psychological First Aid training for teachers, while students attended sessions on stress management and positive coping strategies. Dr Manjita Niraula from Valley Hospital delivered a session on menstrual hygiene to both boys and girls. Volunteer Bishakha Pradhan held an age-appropriate session for younger children on personal safety and recognising good and bad touch. Reusable sanitary napkins were also distributed to female students afterwards.

Digital literacy and career guidance were also provided. Volunteer Khagendra Koirala taught students about internet safety, cyberbullying and protecting personal information. Career counselling by Surendra K.C. encouraged students to follow their interests and highlighted opportunities in Nepal’s growing IT sector. Infinite Nepal’s IT team upgraded 25 computers with hardware and software updates and repaired two out-of-service printers.

At the closing ceremony, Infinite Cares donated educational stationery, sports equipment and cleaning supplies to the school. Employees of Infinite Nepal contributed Rs 100,000 to buy school uniforms and shoes for 40 students from economically vulnerable families. Tokens of appreciation were exchanged among Infinite Cares, partner organisations, the school and local representatives.

“We are deeply grateful to Infinite Cares and all its partner organisations for bringing such a meaningful programme to our school,” said Kumar Khatiwada, the school principal. “It means a great deal that our teachers came in on a holiday to support.”
