Firefly Children's Home

I hope you have found time to view the recent photos of the children posted on the website and on our Facebook page. Haven’t they grown?!

The children sat their final exams three weeks ago and we have the results in. This week they are back at school after having a brief holiday… with no homework! The tutors are working out well. There are two of them who come in after school and help those children who particularly need it. We have seen good progress from both Saritas, Sushma and Kalpana. Exam results are below.

The weather is very pleasant in Kathmandu and it is trekking season so there are quite a few volunteers popping in each day to help out. This has been helpful given there is not much for the children in Kathmandu to do during the holidays. Nothing like our kids who have an abundance of things to do!

From what I have heard, our sponsors based in Christchurch and Japan have weathered the natural disasters. But I am sure there is much to sort out and work through for them all. My thoughts have been with you.

Finally, Nonna (who helped me set up the orphanage) has had a baby boy. Congratulations Nonna!

Exam results are an average of all subjects: English, Nepali, Social Studies, Science, Maths and Computer Studies.
