Winters are cold in Nepal and Papa's House does not have any insulation or heating. Each child is fitted with a sweater or sweatshirt and a winter jacket. Moreover, shoes or sneakers are purchased for each child. With the natural wear and tear and growth of the children, each year a new sweater, winter jacket, and shoes must be purchased. The total cost of a sweater or sweatshirt, winter jacket, and pair of shoes for a child is $33 each year. Individually a swaeter costs $8, a winter jacket costs $15, and a pair of shoes or sneakers costs $10.
