Story
Through Our Eyes
We were going to help sponsor another orphanage after the last earthquake where thousands of young children lost all their families and homes. However we identified that the children that ended up in the centre of Kathmandu living on rubbish tips and sniffing glue are the rejections of society because they have learnt how to beg and stave off hunger.
They have no identity and would never be allowed to go to school as they are considered social outcasts. These children are as young as 4 years old. The younger ones were left to die. The government does nothing to help these children. The only way is to start our own mission and away from Kathmandu. Therefore it is our mission to start with 12 children and take them away from the city to a safe house where they will have private education and a model of rehabilitation to get them off the glue. It is their only chance. We need your help if this is going to happen. We have checked the legalities of this situation and we will be basically adopting these children and giving them a start in life that they could never have. the idea of this page is obviously to get the funds to gether but realistically everyone that donates will have as much opportunity as they want to come and spend time with the children.
See and follow their story. Nobody is getting paid to do this and every penny is being used to help these children. I am giving my personal E Mail and telephone number to anyone who would like to ask me anything about this. Lastly if anyone out their would like to get involved and has skills of any sort please contact me

we arrived in Kathmandu already engaged with several orphanages and ready to support these very worthy causes. However having spent time in Thamul in the centre of Kathmandu it was evident that the children like Anil and BJ were social outcasts that not even the orphanages would
