Name Art

Today marked the start of our new daily schedule for the children here at the orphanage. For our first recreational class in the morning we taught the children had to make nameplates to display during rec class and English class when the volunteers arrives. Over the weekend they all received new English names after many days of requesting to us, and they are now thrilled by the novelty of having their own English names. For the nameplates, each child wrote their English name on one side, and their Nepali name on the other, making it much easier for volunteers to learn both names. The children had a blast drawing and coloring in their name art, and the creativity was astounding for children who have never been given the freedom to use their imagination to create something new out of their own mind. It was a proud and happy day for us at Joining Hands Family Home today.

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!
