Thank You 'Ragged and Old"!

This blog is dedicated to Helen Wallis and her 'Ragged and Old' Morris Dance group who so kindly donated 10,000 NRP to the children of Bandipur computer class.

We have spent this money on both educational and reading books and lots and lots of art materials for the kids to have creative fun with and for future volunteers to have resources that will continue to make a difference to the children in Bandipur.

Also, I will hopefully be updating in the next few weeks photographs of the children indulging themselves in these gifts, and actually 2 other volunteers, Angela, Carol and me have to admit we had great fun sourcing this material in Kathmandu. There is a wonderful bookshop, recommended to us by someone from KISC International School, called EKTA books, here in Kathmandu, that has 3 large floors of English and Nepali/English books, it was heaven; And to add to further delight we were also recommended an indulgent art shop called ‘Vickeys’ in the heart of Old Town (China Town), Kathmandu.

So if wasn't for this generous Christmas collection donation, these children and future volunteers would not be benefiting from these wonderful teaching resources and materials. A massive BIG THANK YOU to 'Ragged and Old' Morris Dance Group! :) And if anybody would like to find out what they get up to, please check their website www.raggedandold.com
