Nepal is a nation that loves to celebrate! Teej holidays were held in August, which saw the kids have two days off school. It was also ‘Women’s Festival’ where all Nepalese women fast for a day and use the time to sing and dance all day and visit the Hindu temples. In August, the children also had the opportunity to visit PA Nepal’s other home/orphanage in Sankhu, East Kathmandu for a weekend. They got to meet the other children connected to our organisation and enjoy the fresh air in Sankhu that they don’t normally get in central Kathmandu! It was good for them to travel and see something beyond their own little community. Thankfully, we are picking up on the sponsorship. Rupesh, Aita, Kalpana and Shanti are the only children left who require minimal part sponsorship now. Thank you to all those supporters who have sent in clothes for me to take up in a couple of weeks. I have now packed the bags and they are full – 60kgs worth! Much appreciated. I will be sending out new photos, letters, drawings and updates of individual children in October on my return.
