The Street Children's Rehabilitation
Center is one of our favourite
placements in Nepal.
It is home to 10 children who for a variety of reasons have found themselves
without a home and the Center provides them with a warm place to sleep, food
and education.
In the winter months in Nepal it can get very cold, not just
because the temperatures drop below 0 at night, but also because there is no
central heating, no hot water and very bad insulation (if any!) in houses.
We noticed that every day we went to the Kids house they
were wearing the same clothes every day, so decided to buy each child a new
set. Trousers, Jumper, Hat and socks!
Myself and two volunteers spend the morning shopping in
Mahendra Pul to find clothes that were suitable for keeping them as warm as
possible but also practical. We then went straight back to the center to give
them their new clothes and their excitement was amazing! They all quickly
changed into their new gear and started parading around. When we went back the
next day it was great to see that the kids we wearing their new clothes,
although Purnay had gone back to his old hat which is what he arrived in and
even sleeps in so we weren't too upset about that.
Thanks to our amazing PoD Volunteers for helping out.
