'BUY A BRICK AND HELP TO BUILD AN ORPHANAGE'
Many of the pressures faced by children in Kathmandu are also evident in Kalimpong. There is much poverty and the mortality rate is dramatically higher than we are used to in the UK. This often means that children are forced to fend for themselves or exist as part of a very extended family. Each child in this situation is extremely vulnerable to many risks and our Hornbeam Project is being welcomed by the local community where social care is almost non-existent.
We set up a rented children's care home in Kalimpong, Northern India and provided clean water to a local community in need.
secured a suitable rented property in Kalimpong, made the necessary changes and furnished it to local standards. We also appointed a qualified care assistants and live-in managers and now 10 children are settled there.
We have now reached the stage where the lease on the rented home is due to finish in October 2010 and we have committed ourselves to building a purpose built childrens' home in Kalimpong.
Our target is to raise £100,000 to purchase the land and build the home.
