Shree Deuper Primary School : 31 Oct 2011

Today Ross, Helen, Bruce, Manoj Lama and I (NAFA members and supporters) hiked to Shree Deuper Primary School in Singe Village (2 1/2 hour hike from Nagarkot) to carry out a NAFA Jumper & Beanie Distribution for Nursery to Class 5 students.



We gave out jumpers and beanies (and pencils) to over 160 children.  The kids were so tiny but we managed to find a jumper for everyone and the excitement and smiles on the kids faces said it all.  The kids looked so beautiful in the colourful jumpers and beanies, which are lovingly handknitted by up to 100 amazing women in Australia, the NAFA Knitters, for underprivileged children living in remote areas of Nepal.  These jumpers are then bagged and taken over to Nepal by supporters of Nepal and NAFA as excess baggage.

It's amazing and humbling that something as simple as a new jumper/beanie can mean so much to these children ... it's such a huge privilege to be involved in these jumper distributions.
