Where did the first aid boxes go?

We are grateful that with the help of Voluntary Health Association of Goa that we were able to procure the First Aid Boxes at a much lower rate than we were to purchase them in Singapore. Also we have avoided the interstate taxes due to their NGO status. We have purchased with the money we had 15 big boxes that is sufficient to serve up to 30 pax and the 2 smaller ones for 20 pax.  
We have given Ngari Institute as well as Zanskar hospital, one big and one small box each, and another big box went to Mahabodhi School. The balance of the 12 boxes went to TCV where they will distribute one to their old folks centre and 2 going to Chantang area with the balance of 9 sets going to various houses within TCV compound itself .
Therefore, we managed to let whatever contributions we have raised, to go far and wide. Hopefully with the training we have given to the students, staff and monks, the knowledge of first aid will be inculcated in their mind. In the future in case of emergency they will know what to do to save the injured or sick before they can get help from the local doctors or hospitals.   

The tables have arrived!

After meeting the carpenter while I was in Ngari Institute I was a little concerned if he could get the tables done on time before the winter comes. He was very swift and delivered everything by the end of October which was very good timing, in the sense that the students would have to go into a carpeted room soon as the temperature will drop quite drastically within the next month or so. It will help them to have their own study station to do their home work and reading. All the donors were very happy to see the children sitting properly doing their work on these new tables.
 It's a joy to see them all working in peace
The rest of the  60 tables are all made!
