Golden Bay Friends of Nepal update - Dipa's earthbag house project started!
17 March 2021
Namaste everyone,
We are thrilled to announce that construction on Dipa's new earthbag house for Dipa and her daughter began last week! We raised $3,695.00 in donations through this GiveALittle donation page and we hosted 2 fundraisers in Golden Bay (raising $409.60) We also received several other generous donations from individuals and families to make up the difference.
Total budget (NZD$6,838.91, USD$4,844.00, NPR 678,290)
The Good Earth Nepal team arrived last week to get organized, trained the local labourers and broke ground, dug the foundation and started construction of the walls. We are thrilled with the progress so far, as are the villagers and Dipa!
Window frames are in and the walls are going up. It is nice to see the team is having fun too. The Good Earth Nepal team (http://goodearthglobal.org/) are hopeful we can complete Dipa's house in the next 4-6 weeks. We will keep you updated!
Thank you again so much for your incredible generosity to Dipa and her family! Namaste, Golden Bay Friends of Nepal
