School and Holidays

Children had their final exams. The all did very well and are all promoted to upper grades

They had a month long after exam holidays before the new session begin. Children went to visit their family and relatives for 10 days for the first time since they came to us. So, they were very happy to be able go. Some of the kids stayed behind with us. Those who stayed behind went to dance classes. Other joined them when they got back from their visit.

We all went to see a Nepali movie. Again, this was our first time to Nepali movies together. Kids, they have always wanted to see one and have been asking us to take them to Nepali movies. They enjoyed it very much.

Some of the older children took Mrs. Merina Lakhe's arts and crafts classes for a week at Sonrisa. So far, they have crafted beautiful houses, pen/pencil holdrer and roses.

School just started. And the children are really happy being back at school, especially the ones who got to grade one and are now permitted to play on the ground during recess.
