It has been a month of unease in Kathmandu with strikes and curfews. You might have seen media coverage of the rioting and demonstrations and the subsequent reforming of the parliament. Prices have soared and many people have been affected. Things have now returned to normal, and the air is full of excitement and anticipation. This is just the beginning and Nepal has a long way to go to full democracy, but at least it is a step in the right direction and fighting has stopped for now. Our OHC children have started going back to school again and our volunteer Tania from NZ can now go out and see a bit of Kathmandu. Below is a recent email I received from Tania about her time at OHC…. “I just want to say that I am having so much fun at the Orphan Help Centre. The kids are fantastic, Biba has been great and I enjoy every minute I spend with them. They have become like my family. I will be very sad to leave them all. I think it is fantastic how the sponsership program is helping them and I can see how the kids have blossomed from it. It’s really neat to see.” Regards, Tania Ruddell
