We immediatly turned the Centre into a refuge, for storage of rice for those who lost their homes (a joint kitchen was established for over xxxx people, over xxx weeks). In addition xx health camps were held, followed by xx dental camps. In addition tin roof sheets for xx homes were distributed.

Our main 'earth quake' relief efforts were run from Hotel Moonlight. Nepal was hit by a second major earthquake, and then by the border blockade. This latter hampered building progress, as materials and workmen were difficult to secure, but by "date of opening" we were able to officially open Mountain People Centre.

The Homework Club is held in one large room, used 5 days a week. Here children come after school to do their homework, assisted by two part time teachers. What we take for granted such as electric light and a table to do ones homework, these are not available for many.  In the region of 70 children, from class 1 to class 6, attend each day.

The room is also utilised for health and educational classes during the day.
