Being prepared for the real world, it is not going to be easy during these complicated times. However, you will make it, with all the hard work you have put in all this past year, we are sure. Super Congratulations to all of you Shubas, Sharmila & Sadhna for successfully completing your SEE examination - we truly wish you the very best in your next step in life. In Nepal having passed SEE exams allows so many more employment possibilities for our children’s future. This is why we make it a priority to tutor and support our children to obtain this possibility that opens doors for their future life. It is also why you are donors and sponsors are so important as without your financial support we could not offer the extra tuition and guidance that our children, many who have had trauma, require to master this important step in their life.

On the occasion of Teej, an annual women festival in Nepal, our mothers and girls dress up, make up, dance and celebrate, bringing some joy during the ongoing lockdown time in Nepal. So uplifting to see their joyful faces and energy. Teej is a special women celebration festival in Nepal where women fast, pray/worship and feast, dance and honour each other. This year our girls fully enjoyed dressing up, doing make-up for each other and truly celebrating. We really needed some uplift energy during these times of lockdown continuing in Nepal. We wish all our sisters around the world blessings & love on this special occasion of Teej

We are so very happy to congratulate Sawaswati on her graduation as an Army cadet! “Dearest Sawaswati, may you have a fulfilling and successful career and make deep friendships and discover your strengths and gifts in your life ahead. We love you and we are proud of you!”

Sawaswati was one of our first children at Annapurna Self Sustaining Children Home and we have supported her through school education and completion of the SEE and most recently through the Army officer training academy. With this opportunity Sawaswati now has a real career and opportunity to create a successful life for herself. We are also delighted that she continues to give back to our Home with her time and energy and of course joining us for “Family” festivals. It is with real joy that we witness our children graduate into responsible adult lives – this is the outcome we aspire to with all our children.
