Hello Dear Followers!
Here at Sreepur we were devastated to hear about the multiple earthquakes that struck Nepal and how horribly they affected the Nepalese population (especially the children.) Sreepur Beneficiaries and Staff decided to band together and help Nepal however we could. We at SPP know better than anyone that “every little bit helps.” So, in order to help the Nepalese SPP children have decided to collect money for them, and to sacrifice the eggs from their sunday lunch (the money that would have been spent on the eggs will now go to Nepal Earthquake relief instead.) SPP mothers have also decided to participate in this initiative- in total 230 mothers and children will take part in raising funds for Nepal earthquake relief.
We have also decided that a percentage of SVT card revenues will be donated too. As you know, the handmade cards are prepared and designed by our mothers and can be purchased here. Moreover, some of our foster children have sold some-t-shirts to raise money in a recent makeshift fair.
Along with raising funds, the children have paid tribute and offered prayers for the affected Nepalese. Together we sang a song titled “we shall overcome” at a public program attended by locals and government officials, and we dedicated the song to the Nepalese children. Staff also participated in these initiatives and offered to donate money in order to help the Nepalese children.
Any money we have already or will raise will be sent through to our partner WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) who has networks around Nepal too.
We wish the Nepalese the luck, support and healing that they are in dire need of now.
With Love,
Sreepur Village
