I went on a European Tour that lead me to Wales, England and Italy where I received a warm welcome by Kate, Bryn and everyone in North Wales. A BBQ was organized by Kate and Bryn to raise funds for SONRISA. The weather was not so pleasant but the event was a success after all and I must thank everyone who kindly attended the event especially Kate, Bryn, Vicky, Rob, Sue, Richard, Donna, Becky, Felicity, Hannah and all the wonderful people.
I highly appreciated and like to thank Mr. Paul Evers- Swindell International St. Asaph rotary club in Wales. It was a great opportunity to be invited for the meeting as i got a chance to thank the club and its board members. I am so grateful for the new 10 bunk beds for Sonrisa, It is a comfortable bed and children are having a good night sleep.
In Carridegin North Wales, Mary and Dr. Dermot had organized curry night in their beautiful house, and the food was excellent, also thanks to Dilys and Terry for getting more food that night, it was great to see everyone. Thank you for supporting Sonrisa.It was great meeting with a very wonderful friend Mau in London, we discussed about the future plan for Sonrisa, it was great to know that her family and friends in Spain had made jewelry and sold them for raising funds for Sonrisa. She is a very good musician and she kindly teaches violin to children of Sonrisa on Skype and the children love it.
Visit to Italy
We at Sonrisa are very grateful to amazing folks and our good friends Francesca, Gigi. Yaccopo and Brando. As I'd like to say "they are the concrete bridge between Sonrisa Kathmandu and Orvieto, Scisciano Italy."I also had a meeting with Ms. Monica Dalmonte Director of L, Barzini school Orvieto, English teacher Ms. Paola Paraisi, music Teacher, Christina and Cinzia, parents committee members and other wonderful people. It was an amazing experience meeting and talking to student of different classes. The question answer series was pretty interesting. We talked about Nepal, Himalayan ranges, Sonrisa, and one cute student asked me, is there a McDonald in Nepal ? I said no and explained her that not many children know about Mcdonald in Nepal
I had a very fruitful meeting with Director of the School Ms. Monica Domonte, her school continues to support Sonrisa in different projects every year.Mayor of Scisciano Hon, Dr. Paprizio Napolitano,Councilor Raffaele Ambrosino, Francesca Gigi had informed the people of my visit. The town had posters on the wall of my visit. We spoke about Sonrisa and Nepal I thank Mr Mayor of Scisciano Hon, Dr. Paprizio Napolitano and Councilor Raffaele Ambrosino and Francesca and Gigi for organizing the event. Hon, Mayor,Councilor and the people have agreed to support Sonrisa in the coming days. If all goes well then we have agreed to take two children to Italy next year .We are all very excited about it. Song and Johanna were kind enough to show me beautiful parts of Italy it was interesting to see how they make wine and olive oil.Thank you so much for the donation.
