Planning, planning, planning

Our Butwal children's home project should start in the next 6 months, providing we have all the necessary funding. The authorities have been in touch with us frequently and we are planning everything with them at the moment. It's Nepal so everything takes a VERY long time and even the smallest thing requires a few meetings with different groups of people. That's one of those things that make Nepal very special - we have all become much more patient and relaxed!

We are now trying to find a suitable place for the home near the city - close enough to be able to reach all the children quickly but far enough to ensure that the children are not too tempted by the dangers of the streets. We have noticed that there are a lot of issues in Butwal with children taking drugs and getting involved in criminal activities. 

We are in a process of hiring new staff who after a few months of training in Birgunj and Dhading will be able to start the project and replicate our model Birgunj home for street children. So far it's going well and we have shortlisted a number of very good candidates. We will announce the winner in the next update!

In the meantime, our social workers should be able to start the actual work with the children before we open the home - it takes time to gain trust of the children and assess their and their families' (when applicable) situation. 

And thank you so much for your support - we will be sending news from the project as they happen and please share the info about us and the project!
