Manandhar said that the donation was made as Tokushin Kasai, owner of the hotel, had a wish to do so two years ago.
On the other hand, the donation amount is sure to help the child home run smoothly as it was falling on hard times to operate for want of budget, the child home authority said.
District chairman of the Nepal Children's Organization Raju Prasad Aryal said that the donation is of a great help for the child home as it was facing budget crunch.
Currently the child home is providing shelter to 17 orphans. RSS
