Another parcel with clothing, shoes, blankets and cuddles arrives in Kathmandu

This week a new parcel with two big packages arrived in Kathmandu, containing:
- clothing for babies, children and adults
- children shoes
- blankets
- cuddles

The weight was 140 kg and costs where 780,- Euro. for both packages. We packed them in my (Pim) apartment in the Netherlands and they where collected there by Fed-Ex for transportation. Samjhana went to the Customs Office at the airport of Kathmandu and after paying 47.000 rupees, about 365,- Euro she could take a transportation van (taxi) for 1.500 rupees, about 10 euro to the house of the familie, where we live and store all the goods.

In the next weeks we will be distributing these materials again in the remote areas. For the next months is planned to visit Gorkha district, Okhaldhunga district, SoluKhumbu district and the Lower Dolpa district.

Arrival of our Parcel in Nepal with: clothing, shoes, schoolbags and First-Aid Materials

We are happy to report that after 3 months in the Netherlands we are back at work in Nepal. Before flying to Nepal we prepared 3 packages with a total weight of 192 kg.

150 kg of clothing containing more then 750 piece of clothing for babies, children and some for adults. 25 kg with more then 50 pairs of children shoes. 15 kg of bandages for first-aid training purposes. 

We want to thank all our individual sponsors for clothing and especially the financial donations to make this possible!

We are looking forward to distribute this clothing to hundreds of children and their elders in the next months. We will keep you updates with photos of their smiles at the time they receive a piece of clothing or shoes.

The costs for transportation are € 960, and € 350, for import tax at the customs office in Nepal. This means an average of € 1, per clothing piece. Still it's impossible to buy good quality clothing for this amount in Nepal. Because of these costs we share clothing sponsors to donate € 5, per kg of donated clothing.
