Dear Friends, Brothers and Sisters,
MySmallHelp
Nepal requests your help with an important and exciting new project.
The
Bedroom Problem
Marybert Orphanage has a problem with lice and bugs in the bedrooms. The current bedding has been in use for
around 5 (five) years. Each iron bed has
a ply-wood base supporting the mattress, which has become infested with wood
lice and bed bugs. The children find it
hard to rest, often waking in the night covered in potentially dangerous insect
bites. Because they get so little rest,
many find it hard to concentrate in class, which is detrimental to their
education.
The
Solution
We will
clean the two large bedrooms, the small bedroom, the store room and the dining
hall thoroughly to minimize the danger of lice returning. Also we will
replace the ply wood base and all old bedding, including mattresses, sheets,
pillows, and pillow cases, and we will provide washable blankets for the
approaching winter season. We also aim to educate Marybert and the
children on a new cleaning regime that will further reduce the risk of this
issue arising again.
