the children of nepal

i am so grateful for the chance to go to nepal this past year and meet the children of the umbrella foundation. these are the most incredible children i have ever met. (and i have awesome nieces, nephews and cousins). the children of umbrella, as well as next generation nepal, are orphans. many of their parents have been killed or are too destitute to keep them. they are also the most hopeful, humble, and creative children. even doing math homework with them is a treat.

these are some of my stories from my trip to nepal. now that i am back in the united states, i am hoping publish some of my adventures, as well as collect new info about how to help from afar. i will be posting as often as i can.

please feel free to ask any questions and do share your stories and resources too!
