Namaste Niki Ji,

How are you there? Here we are all fine and doing well except me and Dil because we are giving hard time by the house construction and repairs. Mostly the financial problem. Dil is very sick. She is suffering from fever and the ankle pain. We have took her to the hospital and they have given her the medicine including the antibiotic. She is very weak. She has not been going to the school since the last four days. I am sorry that I could not write you soon because of all this tension and business I have all these days. The most problem here we have since a week is the electric transformer in Damauli has been destroyed by the thunder and lightning last week.

Here on the 28th May we went for the shopping.

Anyway thanks for all the machine stuffs that you are going to send. Today Sushila came to our house direct from the tailor and showed me the clothes that she made for Dil by the new clothes. I am very happy to see that. But in that meantime Dil was not back from the school that is why I told her that she would give Dil the new clothes by herself because Dil love to see it.

Sushila is very regular and very much active and putting her all interest on training. Her family is also very happy to see her daughter doing well in training and also at school. Her family is also very much supportive for us too and her mother help us in work (like these days here we are also having the water problem in tap. Water comes at tap once in three days. Many times she helps us carrying water from water resource).

Here other families are all fine. Children are also fine. I am sorry that I couldn't send you the photo of all the distribution and the mostly our house under construction. We have design the house in two story with the three room in each floor. The two room of 10 feet by 10 feet can be used for the living but the one room length and breadth of 10 feet by 10 feet in each floor is used for the staircase and the large toilet and bathroom. We have estimate the budget of Rs. 350,000.

The work is going on there and has already laid the foundation and 12 rod pillar. As soon as the camera is fixed up I will send you the photo of all the construction and other too.

Altogether we have 6 rooms, 4 can be used as living and 2 can be used as toilet and bathroom.

In our home there will be eight room all together including other small 4 room we already have in our house. So then we can use all the house for the Organization because we are also part of Organization ourselves so that we will contribute all anything we can do the best to promote the Orgnanization.

The main person who is taking all the responsibility for the construction is saying that they will finish the house within two months. So Niki Ji, please think about it and what ever you can help I request you to help us.

Dil is sending you lots of prayer for your preganancy time for your baby and all the family.

WE LOVE YOU,
Bijay and Dil, DHF Bandipur

Namaste Niki Ji,

Thank you for the appreciation for the construction work. Here we are all doing well but Dil and me are very busy in the construction. There are five workers daily. The foundation walls and the 12 pillars have been set up and now they are cleaning all the soil and clearing the field for the type beam and for the house brick wall.

For now we need the 12mm iron rod of 4 bundles, 8mm iron rod of 3 bundles and 30 sacks of cement. We do not have enough money for this yet because we have spent already on the stone, some of the iron rods, sand, grind stone, and labor payment.

Here 1 bundle of iron rod cost NPRs. 8,500 so for the 7 bundles we need around NPRs. 60,000. 1 sack of cement cost NPRs. 650 so for the 30 sacks we need around NPRs. 19,500. We don't have that much with us right now.

Niki Ji, I would like to request your help with us and the people there in America with sending some funds for now to buy these things soon because if we do not buy them soon then the construction work will be stopped and we can't do anything.

It is important because we are constructing this house for DHF and for the children. Please send help if you can!

Bijay, DHF Bandipur

Namaste Niki Ji,

Here the construction work is in progress. The worker has finished clearing all the soil for the flat field for the type beam. So they will soon fill up the rod pillar with the concrete but we need funds soon to buy the cement and the sand and the bricks.

Today is Dil's birthday!

We are all very longing to receive the computer items but I know that we have to spend our money wisely and I know the shipping is cost a lot to send the computer items. We will wait after the orphanage is done in construction to receive the computer items.

To building the walls we need to buy the cement (50-60) sacks, bricks and the sand. That is about NPRs. 70,000 so we hope the fund raising is going well there in the America.

Talk to you later. Take care,
Bijay, DHF Bandipur

Namaste Niki Ji,

Still now they have finished all the clearing of the soil for the flat ground for the type beam and for to fit the rod pillar with the cement and the concrete. There are five worker in construction.

I am very thankful for you accept our work and the contribution for the DHF that we are doing. I have told Dil that you have positive response for the work. She is also very happy to hear that.

Thank you for that you are going to send the funds for the construction. But for now immediately we are in need of the money for to buy the cement and for to continue the work. The worker are always pressing for us to buy the cement soon. But they have stopped working from yesterday because we are not able to buy cement. So I humbly request that the people there in U.S.A. help us and help with the fund-raiser. For now we agree to send the computer items later and concentrate on the construction because I know that shipping is cost a lot.

The worker say with in the month they will finish all filling the pillar, constructing all the first floor walls and then after that they will put the first cemented first floor roof. It will cost a lot so we hope that the fund-raiser will be good.

Because right now you are the only one hope to ask for.

Talk to you soon. Take care,
Bijay, DHF Bandipur
