To Ten Friends,
We are really thankful to your organization for providing us Euroguard water filter. It is of great use to us. The children are now able to drink safe water. Thank you for your help, kindness and support. Currently we have 6 children in our children home ( Life Children Home). They are from various villages and they are orphans. This children home is located in Jhamsikhel, Lalitpur. I am very thankful to God for your support. I hope your support and co-operation will continue in the future also. I also read about your projects in Nepal. It is good to know that your organization has been working effectively and actively in our country. Thank you for that also.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Mark and Rand,
Namaste from Hopeful Home.
I hope it finds you in good health there. We are fine here. We had moved to own new house. We started to move from 30th September and it took 6 days to carry all our stuffs. (We had a plan to move before Dashain, we did.) Children were holiday for 15 days and they helped us to carry our stuffs. Children will go school again next Wednesday.
We had just finished our greatest festival Dashain and it will followed by the 2nd greatest festival Deepawali (Tihar) after 2 weeks. I am sorry for not writing you on time and I couldn't send my greeting for Dashain. I was busy to move house. When I finished moving, the important days of Dashain was started. I don't have e-mail / internet facility in new house now. Most of the cyber cafe was closed for festival. So, I couldn't write you. I hope you will excuse me. Now I am writing from cyber cafe.
Happy Bijaya Dashami and Deepawali 2065. This time we had celebrated Dashain in our own house. We are very proud that we could feast in own house. Children are very happy. This Dashain became great for us.
I had attached some picture from our new house after our moving. I hope you like it. In the attachment, you may see 3 bed rooms for girls, 2 bed rooms for boys, girls bathroom, boys bathroom , common bathroom on top floor ,library, computer for children, dinning tables, kitchen, solar water heater, deep well & water filter plant terrace cover, round metal staircase to top terrace, metal gate and hand rails in staircase, water filter and washing base.
Thank you very much for your great support. Next week I will work for water filters and to see the sponsorship. Barb wiliam, sponsor of Prajwal, came to Nepal and went to trekking. She has a plan to visit her student and shop for him.
I will write you soon.
Yours truly,
Dinesh

Dear Ten Friends,
Thank you very much for the water guard, so kindly donated for the children of Amrit Boarding School. We got it installed on due time. The students and the staff of the school appreciate this act of love and express their gratefulness to you and Ten Friends. We also thank Mr. Sita Ram Pandey through whom we had the opportunity to get introduced to you and who recommended the same for our school.
The Water Guard Co. called us and gave instructions for the maintenance of the machine. The machine seems superior to the one that we had at School. It has directly been joined to the main water pipe to our reserve tank. So, pure water is always available at the school. We don't need to use Water Guard liquid any more. We have also bought three blue plastic water tanks and placed them in three different places for the convenience of the students. Thanks again.
Expecting to meet next year,
Sincerely,
S. Waiba
Principal
