We continued the movie from where we left off- it’s almost finished now! Today our aim was to call Mr. Bhavendra Thamsuhang- (the Director of Loving Home- the orphanage we go to) so we could discuss a few things with him at the orphanage. We’re coming towards the end of our service category in the bronze award so we wanted to discuss a few things with him such as:
- If children at the orphanage need any further help besides just our classes e.g. Books, uniforms, etc.
- If there is anything our parents could do to help the orphanage e.g. donations, etc.
- What is the thing that is lacking at the orphanage.
- How many total children are there at the orphanage.
- We told him briefly about the highlights of the activities we have done.
- Day out next to next week to Boudhanath.
We were planning to take all the kids on a day out to Boudhanath (famous tourist destination in Nepal- it’s a monastery!) and have lunch after that. We needed to take permission from the orphanage to take all the kids. Guess what… we got permission! So next to next week we will be taking all the kids to Boudhanath!
After getting a positive response about the trip he also told us things we could do to help the orphanage:
- Do as much as you can- discuss with your parents!
- It would be great if all the kids could get a uniform for their new session which will begin in mid April.
- Books and stationery for all the kids for the new session would be great.
- We provide them food and clothes so that is not an issue, basically pretty much you can do to help- as much as you can.
- Also, we all were happy to hear that he appreciates what we all are doing at the age of 15 for orphans!
Lastly, he’s a nice guy and we all were happy to meet him. It was indeed a crucial and an important discussion we had with him. Next week we will be visiting the orphanage again, also we'll plan more in depth for our trip!
