Hands for Help handed over a Cheque to Taprang School

Image
Last week, we have handed over a cheque, worth 1550 Euro to a standing committee member, Bhim Kazi Gurung of Taprang School on behalf of our previous volunteer Mille Thorsan who raised that money from her friends and families. She visited to Taprang School last year, found a school building project. After returning home Mlle started a fund raising campaign in her initiative with families and friends. Bhim Kazi expressed a great thank to Mille and told that all the money will go to school fund and be spent for school building. Also we would like to thank Mille for donating a good amount of money to a needy school. Moreover all the people who donated and helped her to raise that money deserve a big thank.

The induction in Kathmandu gave me an opportunity to acclimatise, learn a surprising amount of Nepali from my excellent teacher, visit some of the most beautiful sights in the city, and enjoy the wonderful rooftop views of the city from the Millennium Inn…. On my 4 th day I was met by Badri, the volunteer coordinator and Kripa Lama who ran the orphanage that I would be staying at, and taken to my placement on the outskirts of Bhaktapur .
