Namaste!

This is the first update for the New Home for Orphan Children in Nepal. We are excited and happy to report good news, including an actual new location for our work to continue. I have included an email update that I received in early September from Man Pariyar, our on-site director and founder:

Dear sister Sarah,

Greetings from big family of Nepal! Thank you very much for your prayers,supports and loves. I would like to extend our thanks and honours for your support and for being mission partner. We are so much thankfull with you and your generous loves. We want to walk together with you and be a close watch of you.

Our children they are well and doing good. Now they do have two weeks vacations because of Hindu's great festival "Bada Dasain also called vijaya dasami". Many children went with their relatives and only five with us. Ashish his father was here to bring with him but he loves to stay with us. I want to bring those five children to market for shopping they will be happy and city tour they love to see city because they are from remote villege.

Women they are doing good and they are very much thankfull and happy. We do have our products ready and are getting ready for new order. Now is right time of Christmas many peoples want to give gifts so I want to send items and give more work for widows.

I would like to extend my thanks and appreciations for the contributions of NPRs 129984.79 that we received. I have paided three months advance rent for new house NPRs 72000 and I can pay grossary store NPRs 33000 and we used NPRs 24984 for widows works and their supports. Thank you again for your great support. So now we are able to move our new home but is not still not fixed. We wait patient and whenever we will be in new home I will send you photographs. It is not far from our old house only 2 minutes walk. Photograph of attechment is a house where we are moving please pray for this house.

Thank you for your prayers and supports.
We are praying for you, your hard workings, and to all people who help us with new house, food, and clothing for widows and children. We are greatful and feel very much blessed to have so many people in world care about our orphanage in Nepal. Please give our loves and greetings to your parents, all friends and all brother and sisters who want to support to our Humaniterian Works in Nepal.

Thanks to overwhelming local support from my home state of New Jersey, NHOC will soon be launching a new website for Modique Handicrafts which will allow for the widows to sell their unique handicrafts online and work towards a self-sustainable future for the orphanage. We hope that we will be able to share this opportunity with you as well.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who donated to our orphanage in Nepal. I speak with Man, our on-site director, weekly about the children's well-being, the status of the widows work, and the needs of the orphanage. While much progress has been made, there is still a great amount to be done.

Our great hope is that we will soon be able to expand to help other orphanages in need, to pass on the kindness and generosity that we have been shown to help other Nepali orphanages in need.

With great love and thanks,

Sarah Rogers
