Building plans

The new building siteDickey´s Orphanage was able to purchase 2000m² of land. They also bought part of the building materials. The architect has developed a design for the new orphanage. The children are happy with the new location and look forward to move before Losar, the Tibetan New Year in 2007. The orphanage staff are working with the constructors to help minimize the costs. The building should have a capacity to house 250 children. The most important thing is that every child will have its own bed.

Apart from that, there are plans for following facilities:

• 10 classrooms: the children under six stay at the orphanage and get basic education in these classrooms. During the weekend and school holidays, the rooms will be used for tuition..
• 1 drawing room: to develop the creative talents of the children
• 1 game room : reserved for the toddlers.
• 1 music room: here the children will learn traditional Tibetan and modern songs and dances.
• 1 computer room: for at least 50 computers
• 1 dining room and 1 kitchen.
• Sleeping rooms: with 1 bed per child.
• 2 slaapkamers: voor de baby’s.
• 1 library: a room where children can improve their language skills and general knowledge
• 1 office.
• 1 teacher´s room.
• 3 storage rooms
• 2 Badezimmer: 20 cubicles, for boys and girls 10 each
• 2 toilets: 1 near the dormitory, 1 near the classrooms
• 2 luggage rooms: for boys and girls, 1 each
