One of the children is elevated as an intern (asst. judo trainer) staff. Three of the boys have moved out of PAM being 18 years above or completing 12^th grade. One of the boys is employed as agriculture assistant. Agriculture staff and assistant is busy developing demonstration farm with technology and roof top gardening. PAM children are coping with emerging corona and widespread Dengue around. All children have taken Corona vaccines.

16 families and individuals celebrated their birthdays with PAM children. Four children went to Lebanon to play judo and one defeated Honking player, three went to Thailand and one defeated India but did not get any medal.  13 children will play national games in Nepal from various organizations because PAM cannot play in it. 25 children from communities and all the Pam children are playing judo regularly, and using gym, library, internet facilities. Two children from Everest Judo Club and one child from Dharan are also taking judo training. 10 families from the communities received the roof top gardening training.

Once Judo hall is constructed PAM can serve communities well because it will have judo training, library and gym facilities. PAM is going to construct a business facility where PAM graduated children will open stores for their livelihood. After all this construction, Nestling Home will have more rooms for children. PAM will also do land use planning for agricultural demonstration and production. PAN is not still there.
