shuktara - Anna, Sunil and Bablu Lal 2006

Anna, Sunil and Bablu Lal in 2006

shuktara - Anna, Sunil and Bablu Lal 2006

Hard to believe this photo of Anna, Sunil and Bablu Lal was taken in 2006. Both Anna and Sunil had been with shuktara for seven years, since 1999; Bablu came later.

We thought it was a photo worth sharing with you - these three young men have more serious disabilities and would not be able to live on their own. They will always have a home at shuktara.

Sanjay is married!

Sanjay came to shuktara in 2000. He always wanted to work and he always wanted his own family.
Since working at Shuktara Cakes he has saved enough money to rent a house outside of the city and in February he married a young woman called Munni and they have a baby coming in a few months.

The security of shuktara and his job at Shuktara Cakes has meant that he has been able to do this and he is SO proud.
Today he is also making us all very proud too.

Anna and the earthquake

Yesterday (April 25th) the houses shook in Kolkata. Everyone left the building and Anna decided it was time for a shower, a shave and fresh clothes. We don’t know what he thought. Today (April 26th) there have been more tremors and they left the house again.

We are talking about Kolkata. So our thoughts must be with those people so close to us in Nepal.
