All Child Haven Homes seem to have avoided any direct effect of the recent Tsunami in South
Asia. We have been in direct contact with our Bangladesh home and our Kaliyampoodi home in
Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad home in Andhra Pradesh. We have also had communication with
our other projects and to date all seems fine.
Child Haven is not set up to help with emergency relief programmes. But all of our homes have
been instructed to admit any destitute and/or parentless children caused by this horrible
disaster. Any donations specifically allocated will be used for the care of these new children.

We just got word (13 February 2003) that Bonnie Cappuccino, International Director, and party arrived safely in Lhasa, Tibet in China, having taken the overland route from Kathmandu, Nepal over the Himalaya Mountains (and over my dead body! Bonnie never listens to me).
The party included our sons Robin and Mohan Cappuccino, plus volunteer interns Angie Kretzschmar and Bea Ziegert, along with Nepal Child Haven Coordinator Arjun Mani Guragain. They went by land rover through the highest pass in the world (5200 metres or 17,000 feet). They saw Everest on the way.
Fred Cappuccino Our Nepal home is feeling the effects of the Maoist insurgency and the killings on both sides of the conflict. Volunteers at Child Haven keep in close touch with Carla Hogan-Rufelds, the Canadian Government official in Kathmandu. Bonnie Cappuccino, as International Director, feels at this point that she must continue to make her quarterly visit to all the homes.
