Asia who used his travel time to help HFHI Nepal and spent 14 days working with the staff of HFHI Nepal to develop a much needed a “blog”.

Asia…Thank you very much for your volunteering with us from 18 June to 05 July 2007.

We appreciate for your support and assistance in developing a "blog" for HFHI-Nepal, which provides a dynamic view of the organization. This will enable HFHI Nepal to post the information on day-to-day or month-to-month activities on the projects and their successes. This is one of the best ways of on line publication of HFHI-Nepal news.

We hope your hard work on developing a “blog” will make a big difference in fulfilling the needs of the less fortunate people in the community by making a gate way to bring up lots of volunteers to Nepal.
