6 out of 11 new iron
beds were provided to Marybert Orphanage.
Marybert Orphanage used to have
11 wooden beds for the boys and
girls room altogether. The beds
were really old and had bed bugs,
due to which the children could
not sleep soundly and would wake
up in the middle of the night. The
beds were treated with medicine
but still it was of no use. The
only option left was to burn down
the beds.
Marybert School and Orphanage is
situated in Kathmandu and is MSH’s
pioneer project. At present there
are approximately 100 children studying
at the school and 23 of these children
are living at the orphanage. MSH
sponsors 17 children living at the
Marybert orphanage. The sponsorship
pays for their education, food,
accommodation and sanitary living
conditions.
In addition, MSH has built a library
for the school and has donated many
books. The library has a peaceful
atmosphere and the books are clearly
displayed. MSH has funded a bio-gas
system that is complete and running
very well. MSH has also funded for
iron beds for the orphanage.
Marybert Orphanage Management and
MySmallHelp decided to do
something, so Marybert
Orphanage Management and MySmallHelp
sat down together to discuss on
the matter. With much discussion,
MySmallHelp decided to fund for
6 new iron beds with the Funds Provided
by KnightBridge School, UK and for
the other 5 beds, were to be funded
by Marybert Orphanage Management.
The beds were not ready-made and
were to be made from the start and
painted. Meanwhile, as the bed was
being made in process, the children
were sleeping on the floor with
their matress and as winter was
approaching, the children were starting
to feel cold, so the building of
the beds had to be faster. Finally
on 20th Sep 2010, the beds were
ready and brought to MaryBert Orphanage,
with new bed carts. The children
were very happy to see their new
bed and arrage it in their respective
rooms.
Nowadays, the children have not
complaint about being bitten by
any bed bugs and they said they
can sleep soundly at night. They
are very thankful to Knightbridge
School for funding this project
and for all their support.
