Child Sponsorship – Logged On Foundation

Child Sponsorship Program 2018

Logged On — Sat, 18 Aug 2018 07:49:38 +0000

Now in its third year, our Child Sponsorship Program is supporting 18 orphaned children at the Bal Mandir Orphanage. The aim of the Program is to work with the orphans and the orphanage to create lasting and meaningful changes by supporting the children through years of schooling and helping to create a healthy and happy community.

Sponsors from Australia and Canada are helping to create a positive future for the children. We have been keeping donors in contact with their sponsored child and provide letter exchange and progress reports annually. Not only is the program linking sponsors more closely to the orphan community their donations are helping, the children also understand and appreciate that there are families in other countries who are genuinely concerned with their welfare.

Every year, in addition to individual sponsorships, we attempt to complete a project that is of benefit to the orphanage community. As reported last year, we were able to complete a water capture, storage and filtration system at the school where the orphans live and study which was of great benefit particularly during the dry season. This year, we were able to source special funding from donors to replace the beds for all the children including bedding material (see photo below).

We were also able to place two pre-service teachers from Australia at the School where the orphans attend for four weeks and an additional four teachers for three days working directly with the orphans. After school hours and during holidays, the teachers were able to provide additional tuition to help boost their study techniques and English communication skills which is part of the Nepali curriculum.

The children have struggled writing letters to their sponsors and so the Principal of the orphanage made a special request for help. As a result, the teachers ran a special three-day letter writing workshop to help the children reflect on what they achieved during the year and how to express this in their letter. At the completion of the program, we were able to collect letters from all of the children for distribution to their sponsors. We were particularly excited at how artistic the children were when they produced beautiful artworks for their sponsors.

Child sponsorship report – Nov 2016

Logged On — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 06:35:44 +0000

We are happy to bring the latest report on the Bal Mandir orphanage to all sponsors on the Child Sponsorship Program. We would like to sincerely thank you for your support!

We recently completed our first annual survey of all the children and proud to report on the progress of all of the children.

A year in review

There has been quite a lot of great things happening at the Bal Mandir Orphanage and at Logged On over the last year that we would like to tell you about.

We have a Child Sponsorship Program Coordinator, Margie Lamperd, who will be managing our program so please feel free to contact Margie if you need any information.

Big jump in the number of kids supported
One year ago, we started with the sponsorship of one child. We are now sponsoring 14 kids.

The orphanage has grown
There were 11 children at Bal Mandir when we arrived after the earthquake last year. They are now able to support 19 children with the help of our program.

New accommodation
Last year, the earthquake destroyed many of the rooms that were used to house the children. We are happy to report that they received government funding and recently completed a new four room building to house the children.

Kids are doing great!
Last year, there was a general feeling of disquiet with many new children having lost a parent in the earthquake. This year, our CEO reports that “just about all the kids were extremely happy and most of them had an increase in their end of year school results.”

Strengthening our program

We have spent one year helping out and we want to make the Child Sponsorship Program even better!

There are a couple of routines we would like to put in place so sponsors are more connected with their child.

Annual progress report
The school year ends around March and so we will endeavor to get an update on your child and the orphanage to you around May every year.

Keep in contact
Twice a year, you will be invited to write a letter to your child – in December and again in June. We will send your letter on and invite a response back from your child.

Payment plan
We have introduced a monthly installment option as the preferred method of payment. We will contact you about your payment in the coming weeks. SIGN-UP NOW to the $35 monthly payment plan.

Children needing sponsorship

We have six children who do not have sponsors. Please spread the word and help us reach our goal of ensuring that every child at the orphanage is sponsored.
