Visiting Tour Dec/Jan 2014-15 EXCELLENT HALF YEAR --SCHOOL RESULTS Page 4 To all of our sponsors and supporters, you should have a great sense of pride when you see these half yearly results. Considering three of our kids were accelerated. I am amazed. They never cease to amaze me. Bipin Year 7 **volunteer with us** rd Bipin is a smart boy who has a thirst for knowledge and experiences. For the last few years he has always worked so hard and always against tough competition and always th came 5 but he has done well this time th He accelerated one year (missed 5 class) . WOW He never ceases to amaze me. I hope one day we get to take him to visit his grandmother in the Annapurna’s th She was accelerated one year (missed 5 class) . WOW. So proud of this girl who was rescued from the child slave market 3 Place Anura Year 5 Came to us illiterate and severely th malnourished. Has always came 12 but this report she has excelled herself and done very th well in 9 place. 9 Place Gaurima Year 4 Her first reports were mainly zeros and after repeating her in grade 2 she has blown us out of the water with her wonderful results. You can see her pride and self-confidence in every photo 3 Place Nirmala Grade 3 After her 3 acceleration, our baby or ‘baby monkey’ as I prefer to call her has done it again. She is so so smart and very cute Nirmal Year 6 Krishala Year 6 rd Ist Place nd 2 Place NEWS FROM NEPAL Life is moving on and the children are just blossoming with summer starting to wane. The children have been on a few exciting outings. One with Dhanraj to the a park and one with Marcel and Ankie (owners of New Life Children’s Home) to the water park. On a medical check-up at the school it was found that Bipin required eye tests and now he is looking very much like an academic wearing his glasses. th rd st 1 Place SAHARA’S VISIT We have been lucky to have one of our supporters and Nepalese expat, Sahara visit the children in July. Hopefully, she and her family will be guiding and supporting us with the registration legalities. She had a wonderful time with the kids and could not stop saying how beautiful they were and was awed by the whole experience and so eager to be part of the team. Sahara was most impressed with Bipin’s light that he made by himself at home. His scientific work is called ‘to solve Nepal’s power shortage’. Anyone willing to support him to create a solar panel light would be really appreciated. We might have a scientist on board. Bipin is in Year 7 now and such a curious soul. The children have just finished their half yearly exams and am very impressed with their results. See page 3 Nirmal, Krishala and Nirmala have coped really well with their accelerated classes.
