This is the current bedroom the older boys 11+ sleep in ..
This bed is so broken that he sleeps on the floor next to it ..
The wood is rooting and the roof is just corrugated iron , so leaks, is rusty and defining when it rains, (tropical rain storms)
The new bedroom – almost ready to move into . Money raised from the sale of the cards bought beds and mattresses and installed electricity
This might be the most boring photo in the world.. but we used 40,000 rupees or the money raised, that’s £ 255 to put in electricity into a a new floor of the boys home
