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!

pen pals needed!


hi friends,

so it's been forever since i've written here and i apologize. been thick in book edits and wandering from bank to bank to see if they are giving out free lollipops before they shut down.

but i do want to put the shout out for new pen pals.

ask yourself these three questions, if you please:

*do i like things that come in envelopes with stamps on them?
*is it dreamy to dream of living in a far off land?
*who came up with the recipe for crystal light?

if you answered yes to either of the first two, then please contact me today to get a pen pal in nepal! they are awesome kids and they would LOVE to hear from you. read these blogs and look at the pictures to see what i'm talking about. will try to write again soooooooon.

be well,
abby
