Gold Medals and Back to School

John's Gold Medal!

Namaste!

The children are back to school and working hard! They are doing well in their studies and in extracurricular activities through school.

One of our children, John Chaudhari, who is currently working studying in the 4th grade was named first position in the football match at his school. He was very honored to receive a certificate from the Red Cross and a gold medal for his achievements. We are very proud of his continued success.

We feel so very blessed that John has been with us since the beginning of the New Home for Orphan Children. He is from a rural area in mid-western Nepal, from the Tharu tribe. His father is deaf and his mother is handicapped - it is because of these disabilities that they do not have land. When he first came to NHOC, he did not have proper clothes and was suffering from severe starvation and malnutrition. His family could simply not afford to keep him alive.

Nowadays, John is good in health, studying hard, and wants to be an artist. Please pray for him and his budding talents, that his gifts will bring him great happiness and glorify him within his rural community - a great honor for this young man.

We are excited to continue our good work, and we are so thankful to those of you who reach out to support and guide our widows and children. Please continue your support as the need is ever great.

New Baby, Sickness, and Working Towards Sustainability

New Baby!

Namaste!

News arrives from Nepal with many highs and lows... but all with many thanks and well wishes to all our supporters.

The arrival of a new baby brings great joy to the New Home for Orphan children. Man and his wife, Kamala, have brought a new baby into the world. We are all ecstatic about this new little addition.

In news that bring us great sadness, one of the smallest orphans, Ashish (age 9), has fallen ill and is in great need of funds to help pay his medical bills. He has been found to have epilepsy and struggles daily without the proper medication. Please keep his health in your prayers.

The orphanage and the widows group are working fervently towards sustainability, now more than ever. They hope to soon ship their handicrafts to America to help generate profit, which will in turn provide more training and equipment for the widows.

On to better news... the children are finishing up their exams and will have time off soon for a few weeks before starting the new semester. They are always excited to hear news from America and other countries around the world where people are thinking of them.

All our love!

I want to bring those five children to market for shopping they will be happy and city tour they love to see city because they are from remote villege.

Thanks to overwhelming local support from my home state of New Jersey, NHOC will soon be launching a new website for Modique Handicrafts which will allow for the widows to sell their unique handicrafts online and work towards a self-sustainable future for the orphanage. We hope that we will be able to share this opportunity with you as well.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who donated to our orphanage in Nepal. I speak with Man, our on-site director, weekly about the children's well-being, the status of the widows work, and the needs of the orphanage. While much progress has been made, there is still a great amount to be done.

Our great hope is that we will soon be able to expand to help other orphanages in need, to pass on the kindness and generosity that we have been shown to help other Nepali orphanages in need.

With great love and thanks,

Sarah Rogers
