Paying it Forward – Our SLC graduates spend time with children at Kathmandu Model Hospital

Gratitude and generosity are very important values which we strive to instil in the children we work with in Nepal. In celebration of finishing their SLC exams, we encouraged our SLC graduates to find a hospital where there were children in need of a smile and to spend some time with them, making them laugh and feel special.

Sarika took the lead in organising the visit. She contacted Dr Shanker Rai from Kathmandu Model Hospital who does wonderful work with his team in operating on children with the need for cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries. With the help of the manager of the hospital, Dr.Hemantadhwaj Joshi, the date was set for their visit.

Thanks to Sarika, Sarita and Sabitri for their energy and passion in doing this. I hope we can continue to work with Dr Rai’s team to bring smiles to the faces of children around the time of their surgeries to remind them that people care about them. And thanks to St Catherine's for the handmade quilts which the girls gave to the children and to Seow Yuin of the COMO Foundation for the hand

In Sarika and Sarita’s words:

What was the purpose of your visit?

Sarika: “To bring smiles on the face of children and celebration of finishing the SLC exams.”

What happened on your visit?

Sarita: “In hospital we distributed clothes, toys and some books and puzzles to children who had just had surgery. After distributing, we also played with the kids. They were happy to wear new clothes as well as to get toys and to blow bubbles!
