Playtime at INF's Jumla centre

Nabin Mahatara is a young boy from Patmara village in Nepal's remote, impoverished Jumla District. Nabin became weak and stopped growing properly. His mother took him to INF's rehabilitation centre in Jumla where he was diagnosed as malnourished. INF put Nabin on a special feeding programme and provided his mother with basic training in nutrition, hygiene, sanitation and even physiotherapy. Nabin is now much better. As part of their rehabilitation, Nabin and other children play with special toys at INF's centre in Jumla. Toys for children are one of the 34 gifts in the INF gift catalogue, and cost just US$8 / €6 / £5 / AU$9 / NZ$12. Toys like walking frames made of local materials, balls for exercise, building blocks and picture boards are used every day by INF in the rehabilitation of children like Nabin.
