We know that despite the impact of COVID-19 in our Surkhet community, some things can not be quarantined. Like the resilience shown by our children in the Kopila Valley Children's Home.

“There were so many times we struggled. Some nights, we would sit down on the floor with very little food on our plates. I couldn't even meet the eyes of my children when it happens."

Nepal officially went into lockdown this week. While this is a change for the country as a whole, our family has been in self-quarantine for quite a few days already, and we are settling into a routine as we adapt to this new reality. We are stocked up on dry food and medicine, weathering the storm, and making the most of the time we have together. What’s helping me the most right now focusing on doing the best I can in each moment.

Sitting here quarantined in our little corner of Nepal, I want you to know that your support puts a smile on my face. Along with the rest of the world, we are trying to patiently ride out the storm during this uncertain time. Today, I’m reflecting on how much our family of BlinkNow supporters means to me and the children right now. So many of you have sent personal notes, checking on the children and me, and I cannot thank you enough for your incredible support. It’s because of our global family that we were recently able to make decisions to keep our kids healthy and safe.

Just a few weeks ago, at the start of the new year, we got notice from the government about looking into the case of two children in a rural district in our region called Dolpa. I had only heard of Dolpa from people going up to trek there at a famous glacial lake. I didn’t know much about the region or how to get there and I definitely couldn’t place it on the map. Our team was briefed on the case and we told the government that as part of our own process we also needed to get up to the village where the kids were to conduct our own investigation.
