Protect orphans and abandoned children in Nepal

Dear friends,

Namaste and Greetings !

 It’s our great pleasure to share with you friends the Quarterly progress report of SDO-Nepal’s child-home-orphanage for the duration of  4 January to 3 May 2021  as follows:

 The COVID-19 , Indian double mutant variant and UK variant are also detected in Nepal and hence, this second wave is spreading very fast to all age groups including children . In Kathmandu, the government announced the full locked down which will go into effect until 14, May. Nepal Health Ministry says situation is unmanageable as hospitals run out of beds. In last 24 hours , out of  16770 PCR tests, 7211 found Positive i.e. 43 % positivity cases and 27 deaths.

After 10 months of school closing, children were taking classes on school physically since almost 3 months. Unfortunately, spreading of second wave of COVID, government again announced the locked down. However, all the children are fine, safe  and staying at orphanage with protective measures.

 1)Educational progress of children: 

 Before locked down Children upto 5 classes have completed their 2^nd Term Exam, but, children of upper classes could not attend the exam due to starting of  locked down . Similarly, children also could not get their result sheet of 1^st Term exam too. Presently, they are self studying, guiding with care giver sister. Definitely, due to this critical situation , it will adversely effect on quality education to children.

 2) Others:.   

• Pratikshya, class-4 was suffering from chest pain and respiratory difficulties. She is consulted to Dr. Bhusal at Green City Hospital. After medication, now she is fine.
• Karishma, class-5 was suffering from pain on Right-Leg. She consulted Dr. Amin, Orthopedic Surgeon at Poly Clinic. After medication and using knee cap, now she is feeling better.
• Sabita, class-2 suffered from Tonsillitis. After medication she is quite fine now.  
• In the leisure time, the elder girls are practiced to cook foods on the close supervision of their care-giver sister Indira.
• To be refreshed and for the recreation, children and care giver sister are maintaining kitchen garden growing spring/summer vegetables i.e. beans, pumpkin, coriander, maize, chenopodium etc. However, our kitchen garden  is supplying us fresh and organic vegetables in some extent. Beautiful roses and other flowers blooming representing spring season too.

 Dear friends, from the love and support from all of you, our hopes are sprouting and getting encouragement to protect more needy children and run the orphanage sustainably. But, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and   highly increasing market prices day by day and rapidly increasing education costs,   it is being hard to provide the fundamental needs to our orphans and abandoned children. Your every donation is precious and will bring the significant changes on the life of these orphans and abandoned children. we look forward for your continuous support, encouragement and hoping that you will spread your kind  words to support on our Cause. These are also your own children. Before closing, we SDO and all the children would like to extend our heartiest thanks to GlobalGiving Team, Our valued Donors and Supporters who have been supporting to our children!

Please take care and stay safe.

With kind gratitude !
