Every story has a beginning.       It all began in 2006.

Travelling between Delhi and Kathmandu we saw children without futures, schools crying out for help, Tibetan refugees needing

food, clothing and shelter, Nepali orphans cold and hungry. 

We volunteered a little bit, kept our eyes open, and listened to stories.

Pivotal moments in our lives create change.

• a heartrending story of escape and survival.

• children crammed together diligently learning

without the learning resources we have in the West.

• adults working so hard, giving several months wages

just to pay school fees for their son or daughter.

When someone asks, "Would you have one book for my school?"

There is only one answer.  There is only one thing to do:

• First we found sponsors for some Tibetan refugees. 
• We volunteered in a school and an orphanage.              
• Now:  we build school libraries in India and Nepal

           fund school fees for Nepali orphans

           find sponsors for Tibetan refugees.

Bringing books by rickshaw.                            For this child education is not an option.

In the Yukon people have heard us.  They have opened their hearts.

Please Note: We pay all our own expenses.  Receipts are issued for donations.
