News from placement site in Nepal - new home for the children

One of our partnership NGOs in Nepal (Peace Home in Sanga) has transferred their children to a new home in Bouddanah. They have started collaborating with an excellent local NGO, NIFON, founded by Sangya Lama. NIFON runs a school and helps children in need. The children were transferred to their new home about a month ago and have adjusted to the new environment very well. New management team is in place and the children are being looked after very well.

As always, the school and orphanage are looking for volunteers and donations. For more information, please see their profile on Facebook:

The shop manager has kindly agreed to sell our products there and to give all the profit back to us, which we will then send to Uganda! In return, I have promised to volunteer for them once a week.
