Recently four of the orphans took their SSC exam. The secondary school curriculum exam allows students to pass from 10th to 11th grade. Three of the four boys passed with an A which is a big accomplishment. Congratulations to Abbas, Anowar, and Manik. All their hard work is paying off and we are very proud [...]

  Here is a picture of the boys proudly wearing their new shoes.   The shoes make the trek to school and the fields much easier. It is also easier for them to work in the fields being properly shod. Thank you donors! We recently hired a new housemother to clean the dormitory and bathe the younger [...]

We are very happy to announce that the construction has begun on the new dining room/kitchen. We will be relieved when the boys have a safe place to eat their meals.

With money left over from the building of the new dormitory, we were able to erect a fence surrounding the new quarters. The boys are now experiencing a new feeling of safety from intruders, which they [...]

There are 5 dormitory style rooms which house 12 [...]
