Joining Hands Nepal
A Family Orphan HomeArchive for children
Little Leader
From the time he arrived at the house, Little Padma has been the least shy of our children. From his dancing, to his fake news reports, to his enthusiastic play, he has constantly been entertaining us. But now he has taken on a new role, that of teacher and leader. Every day before school, children all over Nepal do a few exercises followed by a singing of the Nepali national anthem. Padma has begun to lead the other children in this practice of singing the national anthem every morning before taking morning tea. We hope every child in the orphan home will find their own place to lead and be a role model, as each child is unique and has their own special qualities. Padma is following the example of Himal and his big sister Chhiring, and showing the way for all the other children.
Welcome Home Children of Joining Hands Nepal!
It is with great joy in our hearts that we proudly announce the arrival of our first 3 children to the orphan home in Panauti today! It has been a long journey, and we are so grateful to everyone who has supported us, sent us your love, and kept us in your thoughts during this start-up process. Lhasang, Padma, and Balaram have safely arrived in their new home. It is sure to be a big adjustment for them, coming from small villages with few facilities or people, but with the proper love and care, we are confident they will feel right at home in no time. School will not start again for several weeks, so they have plenty of time to adjust to their new surroundings and their new family before undertaking the equally daunting task of entering a new, English-medium boarding school. But that is for another day, for today we celebrate their arrival and look forward to getting them settled and filling their little lives with health and happiness. Perhaps tomorrow they will be joined by their two other new siblings from Mustang. Photos coming soon!
