Dear Friend of kids.R.ok
When kids.R.ok team landed in Orissa children's home this January, the contrast to our last visit couldn't have been starker.
No more falling apart walls or leaking roofs, no brown water to drink and even the children had grown taller by an inch or two since last years visit.
We were received warmly by the kids and the caretakers of the home. This time we were able to spend more time with the children interacting with them with games, giving them writing assignments in english and teaching them an english children's song. Most importantly we were able to convey to the children that we love them and people from different parts of the world really love and care for their future well being (click to read about our interactions with the children).
We spent time on overseeing the construction project and going over the details with brother SK Nayak, the caretaker of the children's home. The water from the borewell is crystal clear and the toilet project is about 70% complete. A big hall is being built as a multipurpose room with two floors where the children can sleep during night and study during the day.
Back in Sweden, kids.R.ok Annual Board Meeting 2015 was held on 27.02.2015. kids.R.ok board members convened to review our projects progress in India & Rwanda, discuss future strategy and do the budget planning for 2015. kids.R.ok was able to demonstrate that in 2014 we were able to keep 100% donation model, utilizing all the donations for project use.
The board congratulated kids.R.ok team to have have done an exemplary work in 2014 and thanked all the team members, volunteers and donors who have made a difference in the lives of the children.
Thank you wonderful supporters of kids.R.ok. You are the backbone of our team and driving us onwards to reach our goals for these beautiful children.
Best regards,
Allan Ashok
