First Volunteer
It is with great pleasure we have learned that our first volunteer will be arriving in one week from Germany. She will be staying with us for 2 weeks to teach at the school and create an afterschool program for the children here at the orphanage. We are very excited, and cannot wait to see how the experience is received by everyone involved. Stay tuned for more information, news, and pictures as things happen!
School Days
Here in Nepal, the school week starts on Sunday and the holiday break between school years only last between 15 days and 1 month, which means school days are here again already! Today is the first official day of school for our children in their new English boarding school. With the entrance exams behind them and all the children doing well, they seem genuinely excited to be going back to school today. Big sister Chhiring was carefully and lovingly braiding Lhasang’s hair this morning to look her best for the first day, as each will spend a little extra time getting ready as well to make a good first impression. It is a happy day also for the staff, for in less than a month we have gone from having no children to watching our 5 orphan children and 3 sisters take pride in prepping for their first day of a new life and new opportunities at Arundaya English Boarding School.
