IN APPRECIATION

Amanda and I, and on behalf of the kids at the orphanage would like to thank a few people. First to those people reading the blog....thanks. Its good because it keeps us writing and especially links us to back home....so keep reading and make a comment to let us know you are there.

Thanks to Parkes Rotary and Robert Jay. Before we left we got several boxes of books to bring with us. Parkes Rotary Club helped us out by posting them to Nepal. This was a considerable expense but I can assure you the books will be appreciated here. They have no resources and these books will help. We intend to take some to the school so all the kids here can use them. Thanks to Rob Jay who had to repack and post them....much appreciated.

To readers of the blog who unexpectedly sent us money to help at the orphanage, especially Stuart and Kerrie... the money will be put to good use and we will let you know what we spend it on... but every cent will get to the kids. Today we are investigating improving the solar panels and making hot water more accessible to them. We are also going to look at tooth brushes and blankets. Will let you know... but a big thank you.
