KIKN had a stall at the school for the second year running. Thanks to the children, parents and the school staff on the day, KIKN was able to raise its profile again and continue to raise funds for our children in Kathmandu. Special thanks to the two helpers from Malaysia, and donations of hand made
KIKN had another successful fund raising day today. In addition to yummy cakes made by our ever supportive friends and donors, there were some beautiful craft items and calendars on sale as well. Thanks to the very generous staff working @ Lower Marsh, KIKN raised over £400 today. This will be on KIKN’s fund raising
Thanks to everyone who supported KIKN in kind and cash, KIKN ‘s Annual Dance raised over £1k on Saturday 27th November. Together with a recent generous donation from the Richardson Family trust, It wll enable us to support Jana Sudhar Lower Secondary School to do further repairs to the damaged classrooms, build a new canteen
Once a year KIKN welcomes all our sponsored children ( 38 this year ) and their parents to Uma’s orphanage. Many shopping sprees later, Uma and I purchased all the clothing we needed for every child. The children helped to pack the appropriate sized/colours into 38 individual packages. A great achievement by any standard!
Today is the beginning of the Festivals in Nepal. All the teachers and pupils came together to formally thank KIKN for providing the new facilities in this little state school in a very deprived areas of Kathmandu. They include a library, computer lab ( with 20 computers, desks and chairs ) science lab, Tiffin (breakfast)
During my short visit in April (just before the earthquake), I met some of Uma ‘s volunteers who were interested in KIKN’S work. They came on some home visits with us, and saw at first hand the dire home conditions the local children were living in. Some of them then became interested in our work.
