Clothing Drive

Greetings friends and supporters!

Late last fall, WELNepal decided to reach out to local schools and see if any kids were interested in donating clothes to the little ones in David Daai's village.

All Saints Catholic Elementary School, located in Mississauga, Ontario (just outside of Toronto), more than came through for the kids in Sauraha and  the largely impoverished Malpur. 

David gave two brief presentations to the youngest and oldest students in the school, and much to our delight, hundreds and hundreds of clothing items came in over the next few days. We got more shirts, shoes, pants, jackets, hats, mitts and socks than we ever dreamed possible and the kids in Nepal were overjoyed to receive their new clothes when David landed in his village in January. 

Everyone at WELNepal owes a huge, enormous Thank You! to Trustee Sharon Hobin, Principal Nancy Levey and all of the students, staff and parents that made this incredible clothing drive possible. 

Here are some pictures of the Sauraha and Malpur kiddies enjoying their new threads.
