Project Report | Sep 25, 2018
Two new brothers!

By Cathy Clifton | Communications Director

Just a few weeks ago, we welcomed two new Ama Ghar brothers into our family. Kushal, age six, and Sushan, age four, lost their house and most of their family in the 2015 earthquakes.

Since then, they have been shuttled around to members of their extended family, none of whom are able to care for them. This happens often in Nepal, one of the world's poorest countries, because no matter how well-intentioned and loving their extended families might be, there's not always enough food to feed two hungry little boys.

We are so pleased to have these boys - they have had their initial medical checkups and are quite healthy - they just need nutritious food, an education... and most of all, love. They arrived a bit nervous about what their future might bring in this strange new place, as all the children do. But now, two weeks later, they are walking off to school with the rest of their Ama Ghar brothers and sisters, secure in the fact that they have a safe place and a family to come home to.

Generous donors like you are what makes this possible - without you, there would be no warm and loving housemother to make them feel at home, no doctor to care for them and no comfortable bed for them at night. And especially important is the fact that without you, these boys might have been separated and sent to different homes instead of holding hands and walking to school together.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support of our mission.
