* Thank you to Parnell College in Auckland, who have donated $500 to OHC (August 2009). This money was raised by several students who won a community colouring competition and chose to donate some to charity.
* A big thank you to Capital Cause, a Wellington based charitable trust, who ran an online competition to raise funds for OHC. The winner, Kiwi Josie Hopkins, will be heading up to Kathmandu to meet the kids as part of the prize. Capital Cause raised $2,600 towards ongoing costs at OHC.
* Takapuna Playcentre rallied together and performed songs at Takapuna Market one Sunday morning to raise funds for OHC. Such wonderful initiative and the kids really enjoyed it. Thank you for raising $125 for Orphan Help Center! We also want to thank the centre for donating a box of second hand books.
* Judy Holdem from Dannevirke has kindly donated money to our orphanage for the second time. These spontaneous one-off donations are a wonderful help, as expenses often exceed our incomings. Thanks Judy.
* A big thank you to the Glenn Marvin and the College Rifles Rugby Club for choosing to fundraise for OHC. Thank you to all those people who attended the casino night and charity auction. We managed to raise $10,000 at this event. Thank you Glenn.

* Thank you to Auke Aardoom and his family, who have donated their New Year's Eve (06-07) family games winnings towards OHC. Whoever played best got to donate 180 euros to their chosen charity. We feel very privileged Auke chose Orphan Help Center!
* Thank you to Leen, a woman who has spent a lot of her time and energy fundraising for OHC from the beginning. She has just raised some more funds for Norbu, a disabled boy OHC is funding, and some money for Dashain - the annual Nepali festival. Thank you Leen!!!
