Collection for 2011 school fees

 It is that time of year again where we have to raise money for school fees. Every year it gets a little bit more expensive as the children get older. Above is the updated fee list we have been given from the school.

This year the total cost for 8 children (Bishnu attends High school) is approx $AUS 4600.

If you would like more information or like to know how much the school fees for a particular child you can email us at ecochildrenhomenepalATgmail.com

Donation can be made at ecochildrenhomenepal.com

Thanks Sam

This is a bit over due but we would like to say a special thank you to Auntie Sam. She washed our hair, our sheets, helped us with our homework and did lots of fundraising for us before she arrived. Have a great time in India Sam and we hope we see you again soon.

Pretty things in the post...

As usual we are a little behind with updating the blog, this happens when you have nine children to look after! Things have been changing, but first we have some big thank yous:

We had some books turn up for Ashish Tamang. They were the first to arrive and in all the excitement the letters got misplaced with the return address. We would love to send you a thank you letter and picture but we are not sure where to send it. Please if you send books to Ashish let us know. Also, sorry about the photo of Ashish above but he is still reusing to pose for pictures due to shyness.

Sujetta received books, a new skirt and shirt from Matilda and Lisa in Australia. The photos and letter she received are pasted up on the wall for everyone to see and when new visitors arrive she proudly shows them her friend in Australia.

Gorhe maybe the first Nepali boy to wear skinny leg jeans! He is looking too cute in his shirt and pants. His mum was really excited to show them off and Gorhe refused to take them off after the photo shoot. Thank you Kerri and Stuart.

The children have received quite a few new clothes recently but one thing we have not been able to source is a big world map for the wall. If anyone knows where we can get one for a reasonable price or has an old one they can send us we would really appreciate it.

Exams again.

Exciting news

Tomorrow our very first volunteer arrives in Pokhara. Of course we have had many volunteers before but this is the first volunteer which applied through the website and their stay has been completely organized by staff at the Eco Children Home.

We hope Josie has a wonderful stay and we look forward to sharing news about her trip with you soon.

Back to school

The children have returned from their villages after a month of festivities. They are all back at school. We received notice of the exam results for the term and they children all maintained their good grades. The children were ranked by the school in their individual classes and the results look like this :

Prita Gurung:-2nd position

Tirtha Gurung (Gorhe):-3rd position

Sujata Gurung;-4th position

Kamal Tamang;-2nd position

Hemlal Tamang:-1st position

Ashish Tamang:-3rd position

Herod Tamang:-2nd position

We are very happy with the results and thank the volunteers and staff for their hard work at homework times.
