Nepal – although all our completed projects are pleasing,  the discovery of the  condition experienced by the children in Kavre  Deaf School dormitories caused us some concern and demonstrated a need for immediate action. Although slightly delayed by examinations the complete  refurbishment of 4 dormitories with new curtains  and accessories is now completed and will be a more comfortable and appropriate and healthier environment for the children to rest. 

 
 I  have no doubt that Kavre Deaf School will again feature in our projects in the months to  come . Thank you to Rasmita  for  managing this initiative and to the multiple sponsors for their generosity to allow our objectives to come to fruition.

Nepal – thank you to Maiya, Tulsiram and all involved --

Books are both a rarity and a luxury in Nepal and in rural areas libraries are almost unheard of. Therefore rural libraries had been set up just to improve knowledge level and reading habit in those communities including many benefits to children of the community.
