Terry's Nepalese Mission!

Terry with Buddhiman and Indrakala

Sandwiched between China and India the worlds fastest growing economies you will find Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world. A decade long civil war in which 13,000 people were killed, and up to 70,000 displaced from their homes has produced vast numbers of orphans and destitute children. 30 of these children are resident at the Humanitarian Concern Centre Kathmandu. This is a non-political, non-religious, child social welfare organisation. It receives no government funding whatsoever, and is totally reliant on community support and donations from private individuals.

In 2008 Terry was made a non executive director of the orphanage and is involved with planning activities for the efficient operation and running of the centre, fund raising and other activities to improve the life quality of the children, he visits the children every year and is in constant contact with them. Over the last few years money raised has provided the children with regular schooling and examination fees, school uniforms and a home which now has running water and windows!! The children are now also very proud owners of a large screen TV and DVD player purchased with monies donated from friends and colleagues of Terry and Ann.
