New computer teacher for Hamro Niwas.

Last spring, Arno and Susanne were in Nepal. A part of their traveling time, they spend in and on our children's home as computer teachers. And this actually went very well; just have a look at their report from the beginning of this year:

However, just like every other visitors, they finally came to a point when they had to leave. And to say goodbye is always a difficult thing, as every visitor gets attached to our 31 sweeties. But maybe worse than that, the activities of that particular visitor are always stuck.
And in particular with the computer class, which is definitely something special, it is not easy to find a good teacher without interruption.

So, Arno and Susan came up with a playful idea. As fervent world travelers, they have their own website, www.happy-nomads.nl
From the money they earn from commercials on this website, they will now pay the salary of the computer teacher.

This Nepali teacher works only a minimum amount of hours, as the children all go to school during daytime anyway. She now teaches four times a week in the late afternoon, which comes down to two hours per child every week.
Our new computer teacher is Suman Pant, here on the photo, and we are very happy to have her doing this job.
We thank Arno and Susan for their brilliant ideas! Please take a look at their website. They also have a beautiful photo gallery about the mystic country of Nepal, its people and the beautiful Himalayan's.

With many thanks to Arno and Susan, who must be now traveling somewhere in Argentina.

René Veldt,
Action speaks louder than words!
