Girls Shelter

Hey! So I don't have any videos or pics this time... but coming soon :)

I just wanted to let you know about the new girls shelter we are about to open in downtown Kathmandu. We have been talking to a young girl in that area living mostly on the streets and working as a prostitute. Through weeks of couselling and getting to know her more, we have asked her to help us to help the other younger girls living on the streets as either prostitutes or beggars. This girl, Saru, has been very open and wants to help. We rented a large office space in the heart of downtown; a perfect location for the girls to come. It will be a place to come and learn, play games, make art, and share their problems with a counselor. We so far have two volunteers who will come to help teach and counsel. Once I get all the supplies the next couple of days we will begin to invite the girls to come in. Me and the two volunteers went today to plan everything out and to pray over the office space and surrounding area. While we were there, a young girl from the next door "Exotic Massage Center" came in to ask what we were doing. She now wants to come and learn during the class sessions. How exciting!! So please pray for my new friend Saru that as she helps us she will be more and more changed by the Love of Jesus. And pray for the girls who will be coming and for our volunteers. We are still looking for a full time staff person who can be there everyday.

So along with keeping up with my work for the Child Sponsorship program, I will be focussing on this project for the rest of my time here.

Ummm... ok, that's all for now!
