Today Reema played the keyboard for the singing and the children recognised all the tunes and sang along.It was brilliant.Kausalya then read the children the story of 'The tortoise and the hare' The children were so caught up in it and Kausalya was very expressive.She is now going to read them a story every day.Some of the children worked in their new books.They are very pleased.
At lunch time Kausalya started to teach some of the children the ocarina hence the photographs.
After lunch I had the mid-session meeting with the OCCED Board.It was very positive.After all that has been spent already on the raincoats,water filtration unit,books ,underwear, stationary and cleaning materials I was still able to hand OCCED a cheque for Two lack,eighty thousand eight hundred and eighty eight ruppees & seven paisa only.(NR280,888.07 ) We had a good discussion about how the money will be split and have decided on the following.
NR 30,888.07 is to be spent on the outside area,baskets ball net and the repair to the girls room and Kausalya's training.
NR150,000 is to pay for the current school bill and the following one due in 3 months.
NR 100,000 is going to go into the land project fund so that the future of the children's home is more secure.This means we have 'bought' 20square yards of land for the new Orphanage.''We will provide a certificate of appreciation to the entire contributor.The name of the contributor will be engraved in marvel plate and placed in the front room of the OCCED/Nepal building'
I have had it recorded as the 'Rainbow Fund' because I didn't want it logged against my name because it belongs to many people.So 'The rainbow Fund' is to be engraved in the new building.I hope that is ok with you all.
