Sponsor NEEDED!
Please keep in mind there are still 24 unsponsored children at NCH. These are children looking for more than monetary support. They are looking for a family. When we were at the orphanage many of the children would show us a cherished Christmas card, birthday card or simple post card from their sponsor family. Many are to young to understand about the money but they are very proud of their "family". Some have had the opportunity to meet thier sponsor (this is strongly encouraged, when possible). They love telling stories about their own "Aunties" or "Uncles"
Also, there is an endless list of children who need scholarships. These are children who live with thier families but NCH pays for their school tuition, books, and clothes. (school uniform & shoes) NCH also keeps an eye on the scholorship kids to be sure they are doing well in school and if not why. Some of the orphanage children were at one time in the scholorship program, when their living situation worsened they moved into the orphanage.
By sponsoring a NCH child you have the peace of mink knowing your dollars go directly to the care of your child. There is NO middle man, no NGO, no organization taking a percent of your donation. There is a bank fee to transfer the money. We have been collecting money as to transfer it to NCH in a lump sum to assure as much goes to the children as possible.

1000 books
It has been quite a busy summer!
We are about to send a shipment of somewhere around 1000 (one thousand!) books to the children. Yeah! I am hoping this will inspire them to READ. As you know reading builds vocabulary and improves grades in school.
We have been given some beautiful books. Something for everyone, from basic preschool level to chapter books for young adults. The magic School Bus to Harry Potter.....
Books have been donated by individuals (THANK YOU Cindy Homer!) Groups (The wonderful kids from Vacation Bible School) and local drop boxes.
We will continue to collect books as these will be on their way to Nepal very soon!
