| SAVE BLESSING CHILD'S HOME Kathmandu, Nepal |
| NAMASTE |
.Save Blessing Child's Home is a small home located in Kathmandu, Nepal. The home
was started in 2005 by Kamal Gahatni, a young Nepali man who deeply cares about the
underpriviledged children of Nepal. Kamal, his wife Samjhana, Ama (his mother), and
Sima provide a loving, healthy home for nineteen children who range in age from infancy
to fourteen years. The home itself is supported by a Canadian Foundation and each
child's education is sponsored by individual North Americans. 100% of sponsorship
contributions go to the child's tuition in private school, books, uniforms, exam fees, and
related educational expenses. A direct relationship is possible and encouraged. The
sponsor and the child are each gifted by the giving.
It was my good fortune to spend three weeks at the Save Blessing Child's Home in
October 2007. These children, who come from impoverished homes where there's
hardly money for food and certainly nothing for education, are now happy, healthy and
beautifully cared for. Many have lost a parent to poverty, illness or previous civil war.
Some have no parents at all. Yet I didn't see 'trauma' written on their faces or shaping
their movements. I found a big functional family, where they awaken to chores, studies
and play - comfortably and whole-heartedly doing it all.
We discovered another small home just starting out: the Save Child and Woman
Promotion Center. (I don't make up the names.) Once again, a couple of Nepalis from
the economically impoverished mountains have started a home with nothing more than a
bit of a plan and a whole lot of loving. Glasswaters Foundation has decided to support
this home, and North American sponsors will provide for the children's individual
educational needs. The following photo was taken in October 2007. There are now
ten children in this home.

Both the Save Blessing Child's Home and the Save Child and Woman Promotion
Center offer healthy environments in which children can grow and learn. In a country
where the government provides no economic or social safety net, this is a blessing.
Nobody can guarantee what opportunities will await them in the larger Nepalese society.
I do know that they are currently living a healthy life that provides them with a strong
foundation for whatever may come.
If you are interested in learning more about these Nepalese homes and/or how to
participate, please contact me.
