This month at OHC some sad news has occurred. The mother of Punam, Kalpana, Sujan and Kasmir has been in a horrible accident. Hit by a motorbike when walking to work, she has damaged a leg and an eye. Thankfully the four children are well entrenched into the OHC family and are being taken care of with extra compassion and sensitivity. The emergency fund, made up of one-off donations, will be used to take care of her medical expenses if necessary. The children will be escorted to visit her in hospital regularly. On a happier note, volunteers Sarah from Auckland and Chloe from Cananda have recently finished their time at OHC. Both had a brilliant time and brought a lot to the kids and to the running of the center. It seems we have four new volunteers lined up from August through December. Remember if you ever want a new uplifting experience – we’d be happy to welcome your visit and/or your volunteering! Times continue to be tough in Nepal, as they are globally, with food and petrol prices hitting the roof. During these times we are extremely grateful for the extra funding we receive from one-off donations. Thank you!
