Merry Christmas and a happy new year

Dear : Friends
Greetings in the name of our lord Jesus Christ name with mission in church  family’s Nepal. I hope you are well.  Our mission in church families  would like to wish you a 2014 Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2015.

We have written a Christmas and New year newsletter to update you on the previous year.

This year we have had 12 volunteers come and stay with us.  They have all been great and we have enjoyed getting to know them all and preying together .  They have come from Australia, France, Germany, Switzerland, U.S.A and the UK.  Previously, we have also have also had volunteers from Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Macedonia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada,  New Zealand, Portugal, Italy, south Korea  and the Netherlands.
We are so grateful that people from all around the world have come together in our home and have given up their time and prayer, shared their talents and resources for a good and worthwhile cause.  Your financial generosity has been such a help and blessing to us.  Without this, the orphanage would not be sustainable and the children would have remained in very different circumstances.  They would also not have the opportunities they currently have.   It has also helped us enable a few local children in our community to buy stationery and be able to go to school as well as sharing Gospel this our local community our believer home .

In April this year, 10 year old Roshan from Chitwan joined us.  Sadly, his mother who worked as a labourer, died due to an illness.  This left Roshan in the care of his ill father who is unable to work due to kidney problems.  Unable to go to school, Roshan started hanging out with street children until, thankfully, someone in the neighbourhood contacted My sister from Chitwan. Roshan has settled in well and is working hard at school.
Madan is now 18 and lives with his step-sister and family about 5km away.  He visits once a week and sometimes comes to stay.  He has completed his 2 years of various subjects at Higher Education level, during which Computer Science was his main focus.  He went on to do a 3 month Korean language course but ultimately would love to pursue I.T. at University level.
Madan’s younger brother, Sujan, is with 15 now the oldest in the home.
He is in his final year at Secondary school and takes his exams in February, after which he has to wait for 6 months for his results!

All the other children are well and working hard at the local Active Academy school  where, apart from Nepali, all their lessons are taught in English.

Two years ago, Demisha moved from the Montessori nursery school to the Elim Kids Academy.  Dan is also now in uniform and has been going to the same school for the past year.
Since September, Mariya has been working for a small finance company.  This involves walking from Thamel back to Dhapasi collecting money from shops along the way.
That just leaves us to thank you once again for your prayer, support and friendship. Merry Christmas and a happy new year,  We hope you have a joyful Christmas with your family/friends and wish you the very best for 2015. all children and family  send to you all Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2015.
With love and warm wishes,
David, Maria and all the children with mission in church Nepal
