Please meet our new Home of Hope children!
With a thorough decision-making process made by the Lööf Foundation board in cooperation with the Home of Hope board in Nepal, it was decided that we would accept four new children out of 14 applications, to come and live at Home of Hope.
On September 2, 2017, all four new children moved into Home of Hope. They were greeted by our Home of Hope board members, Home of Hope children and our housemother Asha and housefather Shyam. They all received a shower, clean pair of clothes, Lööf Foundation teddy bear, Lööf Foundation t-shirt, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, and bar of soap. Once they were showered, they all at lunch together with everyone. The Home of Hope kids helped to show them around the area including the greenhouse and chicken house. Rajan and Saroj enjoyed playing with the toys the most. Salina was looking forward to her new bed to herself and Anita was looking forward to living with all our other teenage girls at Home of Hope. Rajan and Saroj loved meeting the rabbits that Home of Hope has and just after one day of living at Home of Hope Salina said that her best friend is Puja Tamang who lives at Home of Hope. It was a very happy and exciting day for all the children at Home of Hope, old and new!
