Buy Chickens for street children in Nepal

Over the past few months we have been thinking of new ideas on how to teach our children about climate change and small things we can all do to help the environment. The boys are learning very quickly and trying to lead by example. 

Our garden has never looked as good as now, that's all thanks to our work and also thanks to the organic fertilisers that we have been using. It has taken some time but now we can see huge benefits. Now we are planning to introduce a bio fertiliser production to provide ladies from lower castes in Nepal with employment, to assist more farmers with improving their crops and to help the environment by managing the agricultural waste. That is a separate project but we are hoping our boys will also benefit from the environmental training that will be provided alongside the production. 

We are reducing our monthly costs spent on food due to the amazing crops we are receiving. At the moment the boys are enjoying tonnes of fresh aubergines, tomatoes, chillies (very important part of the Nepali diet!) and beans. 

The staff have also been working on improving our 'chicken house' so that the chickens are safe (we had a few scares from the local foxes at night). The boys love looking after the chickens and they have named them all so it's lovely seeing them taking such good care of animals. And they do enjoy fresh eggs everyday!

Thank you so much for all your support! We will keep you updated on all the progress.

Our boys have been really excited - 4 of our new chickens started laying eggs a week ago. So now we get fresh 4 eggs a day and we are hoping the rest of the chickens will follow very soon! The boys have been looking after them very well, feeding them everyday and watching them grow. So they are hoping that maybe from next month we can stop buying eggs from the market and have our own delicious ones. 

As the schools are still closed and corona cases increasing, our boys have just been staying at the children's home. They have been having online classes in addition to their usual classes and activities with our staff and doing a lot of gardening - they have now set up a competition for the most beautiful part of the garden, so let's see which team wins! Each day they have different activities - sports, arts, dance, drama, computer and they are improving at everything very quickly. 

Once everything settles, we are hoping to take them on a nice trip but that won't probably be for another few months. The virus is spreading in villages and towns where people don't tend to observe social distancing and are stopping to even wear masks. Our staff are very careful and trying to protect the children as much as possible - so that means no visitors from outside, and if the staff go on their leave, they self isolate for 2 weeks before mixing with the children. And we are just all hoping all will return to normality at some point soon!

Thank you for all the support in these difficult times. We are able to help all the children thanks to you!
