Blessing the Children

Tonight was my third visit to Blessing Child Welfare Home. It is a small orphanage here in KTM run by a single Nepali couple, Bal Bahadur Bishwokarma and his wife Sharmila. Bal and Sharmila just recently started following Christ. Now they all attend church and the kids are learning the Bible stories. Tonight we joined them for dinner. On their own, the kids all pressed their hands together and prayed before the meal. Precious. The children are all very well behaved and seem to get along very well together. They are also very bright kids despite coming from such unfortunate circumstances. Interestingly, the kids are all older than they look. I just found out that Amisha (pictured) is 10. I had thought she was 5; maybe 6. In fact, she's still 5 in my eyes! She deserves that extra five years of childhood...
