We spend most of the day today at Hope Home. Sarah and Mary had devised a wonderfuI workshop to add color and movement to the house. Painting the blades of the fans, and attaching ribbons to the outer. One of the children face lights up as the fan is turned on and bright pink and purple ribbons stream into the room.

(Part of a mural in the Thamel Cafe, inspiration!!)

Judy asks if ARI would be able to paint a mural on the bedroom wall, Sarah and I just know we can find a way to do this next week, we will make time. I talk more at length with Judy about how Hope Home runs and my potential future connections with them.

Her parents are in the UK fundraising. My next step is to meet with them when I get home. Making sense of my work ethos in not reinventing the wheel but linking together to make networks stronger. Other volunteers are already coming up with ways they can fundraise. Links around the world!

For the staff at Hope Home, knowing other people in the world care, brings them hope and joy, boosting moral, and naturally having a positive knock on effect on the children.

That Evening we go out….this girl needed to dance…..

The rest is history 🙂

Ps. just to ensure you know I did not have a Mc Donalds, but did end the night with chips and chilli sauce!!
