Aurelie Boursier and Nicolas Gandon from France joined Volunteers Initiative Nepal(VIN) on 1st of February 2017. They are working for the women empowerment and construction project respectively. They have been working at Kavresthali for the past few weeks and on 17th February they will be leaving for Okhaldhunga for the continuation of their project. Aurelie Boursier is here to conduct baseline survey on women empowerment at Kavresthali.

They bought most of the items for children. The items mostly included toys, baby clothes, stationery items, baby wipes, diapers, medical kits, toiletries, etc. The children in most of the urban areas lack basic necessities and VIN has been providing these products for the better lives of the children.
