We were lucky enough to get to know the good folk at SOS childrens orphanage. This is a great organization that works with some of the many orphans here in Nepal. It is large organization with 9 different sites in Nepal. The Kavre, Banepa facility houses 140 children in 14 homes each with 10 children of different sexes and ages, and complete with its own house mother. This provides a family enviroment for the children to grow up in. The children are supported though university with many choosing to sponser the next generation of children in SOS once they get jobs.
The children are funded by overseas and Nepali sponsorship with many overseas sponsors sadly having to give up their sponsorship due to the financial suituation. We were invited to an event staged to encourage the local business community to pick up the slack created by the overseas funding drying up. We were treated to performances by the students and to a delicious lunch in one of the houses. I can say that my host house Bagmati looked after us very well indeed.
It is very inspiring to see so many people dedicated to providing a loving home to some of the needy children of Nepal. This is a very trustworthy and worthwhile organization that is in need of sponsorship so if you want to make a massive difference to some childrens lives get in touch with us and we will let yo know what you can do.
