	Here's what we're up to in Nepal:
	Child Development
	Sangla Child Home

	The Sangla Child Home was established in August of 2002 in Sangla, which is just north of Kathmandu. Good Neighbors opened with 16 children who were either orphans or from struggling single parent households. Good Neighbors provides a comprehensive care program that includes supplementary education, meal services, and health care. Today we provide care to 50 children and are still planning to increase the scope of our services. In addition, we provide children's rights education and family development education to parents in order to improve the quality of life in families.
	Badikhel Child Home

	Located in the southern part of Kathmandu, the Badikhel Child Home was established for the Ppahari tribe children who suffer from extreme poverty. We also began this home with 16 children, most of them orphans. We expanded our program in 2006 through KOICA's assistance. In the same year, two dormitories were built with the support of Aju University.
	Badikhel Primary School

	In April of 2005, we established the Badikhel Primary School under the local name, Good Neighbors Academy. It took Good Neighbors a full year to prepare the school. Now, over 150 children who suffer from extreme poverty receive an elementary education, meals, and health care. We've recognized that the well-being of the children in this area depends on the parents. Therefore we also educate parents about the methodology of educating children as well as the importance of protecting children's rights. A systemized education became possible in 2006 when we expanded the library and science lab with assistance from KOICA.
	Community Development
	Kathmandu Vocational Training Center
	The center was created in 2005 in Kathmandu and provides classes that cover computers, cooking, foreign languages (English, Malaysian, Korean, Japanese) and hotel management. At present, about 70 students are taking classes. Once they graduate, they are able to contribute to the local economy.
	Badikhel Community Development Project
	The project began with aid from KOICA in 2006. Its purpose is a comprehensive development of Badikhel, southern Kathmandu, where the destitute people of the Ppahari live. Good Neighbors works to decrease the illiteracy rate, almost 38%, by teaching 150 residents. We provide health care to 100 residents who need urgent medical care. We also operate a Cow-lending project to spur economic growth. over 250 households have been a part of the lending project.
	Kailali Family Development Project

	Kailali is located near the national border with India, which is the western part of Kathmandu.Good Neighbors supports 60 poor children by providing supplementary education, meals, and medical care. We also give community parents a comprehensive family development education that includes the proper method of educating children and income management. These programs are designed to develop the whole community and to cater to the needs of the people.
