A massive thank you to all of the wonderful souls that so generously donated to our cause. With these funds, Houses4Nepal can start building on a house in Kathmandu valley. We will keep you posted on their progress. Have a beautiful Sunday.

Something about her made us both pick up our cameras at the same time, and I wasn't even there to take pictures. Maybe it was her stroll, the determined thread of a girl that knew where she was going. Or maybe it was the way she was dressed, bright red against a background of brown dusty rubble, burning a hole in the landscape of death and dust. Thank you all so much for donating so far! We are nearly there, having raised over half our target. Please spread the word in the last couple of days of our campaign.

When we visit Suman and his family, Avi is a wee little thing mostly hiding in his mother's lap. We're immediately taken by this little charmer, especially when he wears his fluffy bear suit. He shows off his moves like any other one year old when he walks in between dad and grandma. Avi lived in his father's house for only a couple of months until the earthquakes destroyed it. The house that we are sponsoring is for him and his family. It would be amazing if with your generous help we could give them a roof over their head.

Pimba is easily entertained. He plays with mud, he plays with water, and sometimes he plays with the rays of the sun that touch his face. He stretches out to reach the beams that make it through the open window of the new house he is going to live in. Suman shows Roberto around on the building site while I follow Pimba around in his little kingdom. He smiles a lot. Pimba lives in the Everest area, and his new house wouldn't have existed (and been completed a couple of months ago) without the help of Hanne Dikken's charity and your donations.
