As you know, Orphan Help Center re-registered in Nepal in January 2009 under a different name – Firefly Children’s Home. At the time, it was easier for us to continue operating under OHC back here in New Zealand.
Now the domain name has come up for renewal, we have decided to make the change here too. The children and the staff in Nepal are now used to their new name and new set-up. So by us making the move, it helps volunteers and new sponsors understand the operation better.
OTHER NEWS:
The children were involved in ‘Parents Day’ at school this last term. Ranjana and Aita were the MCs and a few of the girls did some traditional Nepali dancing on stage. The staff and volunteers from the orphanage attended – see the photos on the new website.
School exam results from last term show that all the children passed including both Sarita’s who failed last time round. I am told they have been working hard at their homework! All the children shone in English language, which is a wonderful investment for their future. Other subjects include Science, Nepali language, Maths, Social Studies, Computer and Physical Education.
Outings: This week the children caught a bus to our sister orphan home in Sankhu, in rural Kathmandu, where they danced and sang with the other 40 children. They had a fantastic time socialising and enjoyed the outing.
A big thank you to Maria Atkins who donated her time and talent to create this new website. She has done a wonderful job with the photos – you will love them! There are a few things we need to finalise on the new website, and a possible delay as we change servers. Soon, there will be an opportunity to register so you automatically receive updates.
