Tibetan Tribal Girls’ Home

We have 12 girls staying with us. Our house parents are church pastors and great friends of ours. Here, in the video our house dad, Narbu, is celebrating his birthday. You will see each of our girls giving him a birthday card. Notice the massive slices of cake they receive. Our daughters are from very remote regions and so having a birthday cake is super exciting. It is a long and hard task working with Tibetan people. Our girls often come from quite tragic family situations. They all attend a private english medium school. There is much for us to look forward as we observe our girls emerging into fine young women.

SHERPA BOYS’WORK

Many people know that Sherpa tribal men are Nepal's "mountain mules" who assist tourists and mountaineers alike to trek and climb in the Himalayas. This is a particularly dangerous task with many deaths. This, combined with the massive earthquake that struck Nepal in 2014, has made Sherpa boys particularly vulnerable. Currently we have 19 boys staying. The oldest boys now are around 19 years of age. The kids attend an english-medium school. The development of not only of their faith, but also their english speaking skills is particularly pleasing.
