We would like to thank all of you for helping us with our project in 2012. Without your support it wouldn’t be possible to give these children a place to learn, to help them develop their skills and to integrate them into their families as an accepted and appreciated member.
As the year 2012 ends the “Buddha Jyoti Himalayan Youth Club” wants to tell you about the changes and news that the year has brought to “Maitri Griha”.

Well Construction

On April 25th new well was constructed to fulfill the shortage of water in Maitri-Griha, since water is not collecting at the old well and shortage of water brings so many hygienic problem so to maintain it we made a new well.
Children
At the moment eleven children take part in our Daycare program in two classes. In the beginner class the children learn to get more independent in their daily activities like toileting, dressing or eating and to develop their skill to concentrate and stick to a task. In this class there are seven children.
Two of the new children, Pawan Rai and Ashmita Lama joined in Maitri-Griha on 7th October and 20th November.
