Nepal Metta Centre beautiful new daughters and examination results

It does not get better than this !!!!

In 2003 we became friends with Piya, the staff and our daughters at the Metta Centre Nepal.
Piya, the director gave guidance of the highest quality, the staff loved and cared for the little ones, and in return our daughters showed much enthusiasm and endeavour in school.

By the day our flowers grow and blossom.

The congratulations of all in A Ray of Hope is extended to our daughters and the many people at the Metta Centre and around the world who have in anyway assisted our girls on their path to being very beautiful young ladies.
