She Y\u00fcn<\/em> verankert haar actie in de specifieke kenmerken van Sikkim<\/h2>\n

Sikkim is een oud koninkrijk dat in 1975 als 22e staat deel ging uitmaken van India, na een referendum dat leidde tot de afschaffing van de erfelijke monarchie.<\/p>\n

Hoewel tweederde van de inwoners van Sikkim van Nepalese afkomst is, is de bevolking etnisch zeer divers: dertien verschillende etnische groepen, voornamelijk vertegenwoordigd door inheemse etnische groepen uit de Himalaya van Sino-Tibetaanse oorsprong (Bhutia, Lepcha, Limbu<\/em>). In Sikkim worden meer dan achttien talen gesproken, waarvan drie de belangrijkste zijn: Engels, Hindi en Nepalees. Het Sikkimese onderwijssysteem probeert daarom een evenwicht te vinden tussen \u201chet waarderen van etnische identiteiten\u201d en \u201cde behoefte aan een gemeenschappelijke taalkundige basis\u201d. In de praktijk \u201cblijft de onderwijstaal in heel Sikkim hoofdzakelijk Engels, gevolgd door Nepalees en Hindi…<\/em>\u201d1<\/sup>,\u00a0 waarbij andere talen vooral worden gepromoot in openbare schoolevenementen.<\/p>\n

Religieuze overtuigingen zijn ook divers: de belangrijkste zijn het hindoe\u00efsme (60%) en het boeddhisme (29%); moslims, sikhs en anderen blijven in de minderheid.<\/p>\n

Daarnaast is Sikkim is een Himalayastaat en daarom hoofdzakelijk bergachtig. Dit leidt tot een relatief geografisch isolement van bepaalde gemeenschappen, die over het algemeen kwetsbaar en achtergesteld zijn. Naast etnische en religieuze diversiteit wordt de bevolking van Sikkim ook gekenmerkt door een relatieve ongelijkheid in toegang tot onderwijs.<\/p>\n

In Sikkim biedt She Y\u00fcn<\/em> selectie, (financi\u00eble, materi\u00eble, logistieke, enz.) ondersteuning en zelfs supervisie en buitenschoolse ondersteuning (internaat, onderwijsondersteuning) voor kwetsbare kinderen die toegang krijgen tot haar programma, ongeacht hun etnische groep, religie, taal of geslacht. De topografische moeilijkheid om de scholen te bereiken rechtvaardigt het verblijf in internaat dat aan de meerderheid van de ondersteunde kinderen wordt aangeboden. De rol van She Y\u00fcn als interface tussen ouders en scholen is in deze context van fundamenteel belang. Bovendien worden de kinderen uit kwetsbare families die we ondersteunen, naarmate ze vorderen op school, vaardiger in de talen die door de autoriteiten worden gebruikt (Engels, Nepalees, etc.); hierdoor is het niet ongewoon dat ze in staat zijn om de toegang voor hun ouders, en zelfs voor hun gemeenschap, tot de verschillende diensten waar ze recht op hebben, te vergemakkelijken. Naar onze mening is deze rol van \u201chet vergemakkelijken van de toegang tot rechten\u201d een indirecte toegevoegde waarde van het programma.<\/p>\n

Tot slot is She Y\u00fcn<\/em> een jonge organisatie die in hetzelfde tempo naar haar doel toewerkt als haar publiek (in 2023 zullen de eerste ondersteunde kinderen hun middelbare school afmaken). De impact moet nog worden beoordeeld.<\/p>\n

About Sikkim<\/h1>\t\t\r\n\t\t\t

Where is Sikkim?<\/h2>\t\t\r\n\t\t

Sikkim is a state in India, located in the northeastern part of the country, in the eastern Himalayas. It is one of the smallest states in India. Sikkim is bordered by the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north and northeast, by Bhutan to the southeast, by the Indian state of West Bengal to the south, and by Nepal to the west. The capital is Gangtok, in the southeastern part of the state.

<\/p>

A part of the Eastern Himalayas, Sikkim is notable for its biodiversity, including alpine and subtropical climates, as well as being a host to Kangchenjunga, the highest peak in India and the third highest on Earth. Sikkim's capital and largest city is Gangtok. Almost 35% of the state is covered by the Khangchendzonga National Park.

Long a sovereign political entity, Sikkim became a protectorate of India in 1950 and an Indian state in 1975. Its small size notwithstanding, Sikkim is of great political and strategic importance for India because of its location along several international boundaries. Its area is 2,740 square miles (7,096 square km) and its population (2011) is 607,688.<\/p>\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"logo-sikkim\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t

People and Culture<\/h2>\t\t\r\n\t\tThe people of Sikkim consist of three ethnic groups, the Lepcha, Bhutia, and Nepali. Communities of different ethnicities intermingle freely in Sikkim. Hindu Temples coexist with Buddhist monasteries, churches, mosques, and gurudwara. These myriad cultures have produced a quintessential Sikkimese culture that encompasses all ways and walks of life, but each has managed to preserve its own identity. This can be seen in the various places of worship, festivals, and cultural dances that are celebrated throughout the year.The native Sikkimese consist of the Bhutias, who migrated from the Kham district of Tibet in the 14th century, and the Lepchas, who are believed to have migrated from the Far East. Tibetans reside mostly in the northern and eastern reaches of the state. Migrant resident communities include Bengalis, Biharis, and Marwaris who are prominent in south Sikkim and Gangtok.\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDonate Now\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Gangtok2\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t
