Nepal; Kathmandu Animal Treatment center

KAT CENTRE (more information in text below)
Greetings from my lovely friends at Kathmandu Animal Treatment centre (KAT centre).
It is so good to be back!!! I had a fantastic day helping out at KAT centre today. 
Thank you Arne Skotte and Beate Egeland for your donations.
If you want to support KAT in their important work, please follow this link: http://www.katcentre.org.np/help/donate.html
Would you like these heroes keep helping animals in need? 
Please read their story and share it:
Over the past 11 years the Kathmandu Animal Treatment (KAT) Centre, only through the support of donations, has been tirelessly working to help animals in need. 
Before KAT’s existence, the Kathmandu Municipality attempted to control the street dog population by poisoning more than 10,000 dogs a year with strychnine and their toxic, decomposing bodies were dumped in the rivers that are the city’s main water supply. KAT Centre, at its inception in 2004, offered to the authorities a more human and effective alternative: a persistent, proactive animal sterilization program. 
Until now KAT has sterilized more than 19,000 street dogs, vaccinated over 27,000 dogs against rabies and treated 8,500 sick stray dogs and cats in Kathmandu.
With your help we will be able to continue with our work and steadily expand our vaccination and Animal Birth Control Programmes, so as to reduce the suffering of street dogs and cut down the threat of rabies to the people of Kathmandu.
Please help KAT to survive, ANY CONTRIBUTION BIG OR SMALL WILL MATTER!
Follow this link to donate: www.katcentre.org.np/help/donate.html

OPERATION TEDDY BEAR:
Look how happy the children got when they received a teddy bear! 
At Kanti Children's Hospital in Kathmandu I visited the pediatric ward for cancer where they have 26 beds. Here we delivered out teddy bears to all the children thanks to Camilla Furuseth and her children who sent with me so many!
And a huge thanks to Chillout and Emilie Nyman for donating money from the charity coffee. That made it possible to buy extra teddy bears to make sure all the children got one.

Background story: see below
KOPILA STAR: the boys home for former street children
At time being there are 12 boys living there. They are given full time care, education and a chance of a better future.
This hostel has not got a long term support yet. 
Earlier we have supported with food supply, new school uniform shoes/socks, backpacks, a big dining table (table tennis after dinner), medicine, mattresses, blankets, pillows, flip flops, footballs, badminton and cricket.
The joy and smiles in each and one of the children Is such a wonderful experience. I’m so happy to be able to support this fantastic project.

If you want to support them: 
I package with winter clothes (1 jacket, 1 pair of pants, 1 pair of shoes, 1 sweater) costing 440 NOK per child.
One month of food supply for one child costing 330NOK

BACKGROUND STORY:
There are more than 10,000 street children in Nepal. They survive on child labor and begging. They all got dark destinies, some has run away from home because of abuse, and some are sent to the capital to earn money for their poor families who lives in rural areas. These children are often as young as 3-4 years of age. They are often seen at tourists spots, sitting on a street corner begging for money. Life on the streets is hard for these poor souls. They face a brutal reality filled with drugs and prostitution. I often see them with a bag of glue stick to their face...
For about 4 years ago, Monika Cevis, from Croatia started a project called CHILD Street-to-School (CSTS). This was the start of the "drop-in" center in Kathmandu, where the children have a free place to come and go as they wish. Here they can eat, sleep and be taken care of by adults. This developed into two new hostels where the children are sent to after being stabilized: Kopila Filosophika (the girls home) and Kopila Star (the boys home) At the hostels they are given the possibility to start school and live in a safe and caring environment.
Koplia Filosophika are lucky to have donors to support them with everything they need to keep going.
