Many thanks to P4 and all those at Newburgh Primary School in Fife who contributed to the funds raised in October 2009 for the Friends of the Noe Tibetan Children's Home.
Special thanks also to Julia Tod who organised it.

Home visit February 2009
Jock Dalrymple and Mark Hudson (both are trustees) visited Pema and the Home in February 2009. It was a great trip on all fronts. The happy and lively atmosphere is difficult to describe, but you can get a flavour from the photos below. At first, the children were very shy, notably the older ones, but less so by the last day.
Above, Home children are dancing, in a welcome celebration.
There are 17 children living in the Home, the youngest being aged 6. The UK charity also supports a further nine children living outside the Home, including three who have left the Home to study nursing or tailoring.
Quality dancing by the elder girls

Mega, husband of Pema, likes his rum - and so did his guests!
Farewell grouping ...
