Children's Home in Kathmandu : 3 Mar 2011

Today Ujeli took Manoj and I to visit the children at a home in Bhatbhateni, Kathmandu.  Ujeli is a young Nepali woman who has been volunteering at the Home for over a year.  We took with us beanies and clothes made by friends' mums in Australia ... the beanies were knitted by Val Fullford and the clothes made by Brenda Farrow.

These beanies and clothes gave these kids some happiness.
