6000 Street Children in Nepal: Give Them a Home

We have been very busy for the past few months. First, we managed to sign an MOU with the municipality which means that we will be starting to operate a child helpline in Birgunj starting immediately. This is great news as it means that we can help even more street children. We will be moving to a larger building that we have now signed the lease for. The building is much more suitable for the project and has an outside gated area where the children can play safely. So any future volunteers and our boys will be assisting in decorating it over the next few months. 

Our boys scored very well at their exams. Our oldest boy got highest marks at his final school exams so he is now ready to start his college soon. He has now become our Project Assistant at the Children's Home so he can work part time and study at the same time. We are very proud of him. 

During their school holidays one of the boys was getting his work experience at the local carpenter's workshop - and he loved it. Another boy got his singing training in Kathmandu - his dream is to be a famous singer, so let's see. Another great news about one of our boys who cannot speak and is having learning difficulties - we have now linked him with a group of young workers who also cannot speak. They are now teaching him sign language and showing him how they run their shops and other small businesses. He loves spending time with them and all the learning. 

The boys are back at school now after their holidays so let's hope this school year will be as good as the previous one!

As always, thank you all so much for your continuous support. Please feel free to get in touch anytime if you have any questions about the projects, boys or if you'd like to volunteer.
