During these times of uncertainty, we want to thank you for your continuing concern for the NYF Family. As of March 17, our programs in Nepal have been restricted to protect the vulnerable young people in our care, and ensure the health and safety of the NYF staff.
The situation in Nepal is quickly evolving as positive cases, though still relatively low, are increasing — and the strict, country-wide lockdown that has been in effect for a month is anticipated to last another month.
NYF responded early by enacting an emergency-preparedness plan protecting those already in our care. Patients at the New Life Center (NLC) who were healthy enough to leave Kathmandu have returned to their home villages with their medication. Approximately four orphaned children remain at the NLC under lockdown, with nurses to care for them. Thanks to your generous support, these four boys are doing well and keeping busy by making art, getting regular exercise, and resting well.
As this pandemic continues to develop, NYF is committed to keeping the vulnerable communities in our care safe and healthy. This pandemic is especially hard for those who are HIV-positive — and we are taking every precaution we can to protect these four boys in our care.
We are so deeply touched by the ongoing concern and support from the NYF Family — thank you.
