 OMG...... I saw the trailor of the documentary "Left in Kathmandu" and I feel so sad for those street children in Kathmandu. I feel like "WHAT AM I DOING HERE IN USA?" those children don't even have a good place to sleep, no blanket, no clothes to wear, nothing to eat. They are hungry for: each meal, a piece of cloth to cover their body in winter. They are worshipping GOd not to pour the rain at night.  ANd here, I am complaining for DELICIOUS food, designed and FASHIONABLE clothes, not normal shoes but BOOTS.... I am worshipping GOd to get a so-called "American Dream", not even a normal car but Luxury ones, BMW, LEXUS... more and more money.... still not enough, I am praying to get a GREEEEENCARD. Really, I must be the MOST SELFISH person in the world, I feel like a burden to this earth not being able to do anything for these little angels. 
However, once I finish my study, I am planning to help these kids in my own way because I think somehow, I am also responsible for them being in the street. 

Yeah, you guys may think I am being too emotional. But please watch this video and you'll feel the similar emotions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dgdVDSCecQ

I remembered this song after watching the video:

As specified by vhootee above, US state dept has suspended adoption of any Nepali children until Nepal Govt. change it's process. However the information below might still prove to be valuable for some prospective future foster parents. Hopefully things will change soon. 



Nepal


With almost one-third of its population living below the poverty line, Nepal is among the poorest and least developed countries in the world. Nepal's economic struggles have placed significant stress on families, causing many to abandon or relinquish their children to outside care. However, with the vast majority of Nepal's child care centers at full capacity, many homeless children have nowhere to go. Nepal has the highest child mortality rate in Asia and nearly half of all children are chronically malnourished.

Our Work
In 2007, Holt joined with the Nepal Child Conservation Home to help provide food, medical support, safe shelter and nurturing care for a small number of children. Holt brought in a physician, improved the children's nutrition and increased the number of caregivers. Holt began an international adoption program in Nepal in 2009. Soon after, however, questions began to arise regarding the legitimacy of Nepal's international adoption process. Holt subsequently suspended all new adoption activity, but remained in Nepal to help the government improve their international adoption system and to sustain support for children in care.

In 2010, the U.S. Department of State closed adoptions from Nepal. Today, adoption remains suspended while the Nepalese Government works to make their system more open and ethical.

Holt continues to support children at two care centers in Nepal – the Children's Conservation Home and a facility called HOPAD, which cares for children newborn to 6 years of age. Holt's sponsorship program provides funding for their overall care, meeting their nutritional, medical and educational needs. Whenever possible, Holt also strives to reunite children in care with their birth families.

In 2011, Holt initiated a pilot family preservation program for 30 families in the countryside. Most of these families are headed by women and belong to the numerous caste groups that comprise “Dalits” – often the most impoverished families in Nepal and the children most at risk of abandonment. The program enables single mothers to learn income-generating trades such as sewing or embroidery, providing a means of support for their family.

To Sweetu,
You do not need to finish your studies to help the kids in Nepal. Send them $5 a month, less than minimum wage right now and that will make the difference of night and day in their life. I hear a lot of people saying, "I will get a job, I will finish my studies, I will.... and then send money." $5 won't make a dent for you as a student but it will for them.

@ halo, I agree with you and I proudly say that I am on my way. :)  I've started saving some bucks for donation even though I work only part-time and it's not been a long time that I joined my job. I mentioned my study in above post because I can only do "what I want to do" at that time. It might not make a huge difference for the country but at least for a few children.  You know sometimes we are not able to do things even though we really want.

@nayapidi,
that's why I called it "Dream" . Is there anything wrong with dreaming? It's your thinking but I don't find it funny at all.  And, yes there are people who ride BMW and they don't have greencards. 

@ Vhootee, that's sad 

@ chaurey, thanks for the info about Holt. Honestly speaking, I don't know where to send either. However, I'm gonna ask mysansar team if they can help me with the informations. 

Jay Nepal!
