Pokhara

Beautiful is the best word that describes Pokhara and the people we encountered there. Our short time in Pokhara was filled with more smiles and laughs than the other weeks combined. Pokarha was a break from the hustle and bustle of kathmandu. We rode scooters around the lake which was a good team bonding time. We visited two childrens homes while we were there and we all connected with each kid. We were able to have a bonfire at the future place of a dream center. Which will be a place where both homes live as well as go to school. The bonfire was full of corn, games, stories (provided by justin) and laughs. This week, we were also able to join the kids in worship at their church. These kids were such a joy and each one touched our hearts. It was amazing to see that even though they have broken pasts they have soo much joy. The last night we were there it was sad because we had to say goodbye and it was tough to do. All of are thankful for the time we had with them. We also dug trenches for the dream center and we were able to find out about an amazing opportunity that we can participate in while we were there. The president of tiny hands told that if we can get one supporter each of $50, we can open a new home. This was a crucial part of the trip because we found out that there were prospected kids living in a prison in the city. Our hearts were broken from the reality of the kids lives. All in all the time was a blessing for us. *After reading this blog and you have decided to become a sponser of a kid and help us open this home. Please do not hesitate to contact us.* Thank you so much! Blessings!
