This time when we visited the Children's Home in Nepal, we saw a few new faces. Though space is limited, we have received five more children to the Home this year - now having a total of 37 children! Two of them are Suman and his sister Dhana. They are extremely adorable and intelligent. Suman is only 2 years old but he already recognizes the names of all the children in the Home. He is also very focus when reading or playing and gets annoyed when interrupted. Dhana is attending school and has outstanding achievements in her grades. From this picture, it is hard to see what kind of life they had lived before coming to the Children's Home. I learned from the home parents that they came from an extremely poor family in a remote village. Their mother suffered from disabilities and did not have the means to take care of her children. As a result, they became very weak and even got infected with pneumonia. It was when they were in such critical conditions that they were bought to the Children's Home. I am very glad that we could save the lives of these adorable children. Now they can be fed well, go to school, and enjoy the love and care of a big family.
