This weekend we had the pleasure of meeting the energetic and adorable Karsang from Mustang. She had been living in the streets of a remote village of Lower Mustang until a concerned villager transported her to a Buddhist monastery near Swayambhu with two other street children for temporary residence and care. This responsible person also happened to be acquaintances with one of our staff, and informed us of the children’s situation. One of the older children was taken in by a family with means to provide for them, while the other older child took the opposite path, continually running away to be on the streets of Kathmandu and get into trouble. That left little Karsang, all of 7 years old, the last one remaining in need of a loving home. Luckily for her and us both, we still have an opening and cannot wait to take her into our permanent care. Only the matter of sorting out the official government certification documents remains, which can be a challenge from such a remote village, but we have faith things will work out and the loveable Karsang of Mustang will be joining our family for good any day now.
