Project 006:

Near to Swayambhunath on the western side of Kathmandu is a Buddhist monastery high on a hill. There are over 100 monks here including about a dozen young boys.

The main meal of the day is lunch, and it consists of rice and lentils and perhaps a few vegetables. The cook works in a smoke filled kitchen for hours to feed these monks.

This project will supply gas burners on which to cook the food, and then ongoing monthly gas. This will help the environment and the health of the kitchen staff. It will cost around $1000 a year for this project.
