Walking down a steep mountain trail to get to a pump station.

A view from halfway up the mountain. see the terraced farming on the opposite mountain.

This is a picture of some of the children in an orphanage in Kathmandu. We met the woman who operates the orphanage at church. Her name is Ellen Dietrich She is from Germany. She has dedicated the past 17 years of her life to this project. She provides the children with an opportunity for a healthy living environment and they can also get a college education, if they desire one. The web site is www.hausderhoffnung-nepal.de. This may be a place for your donations. It will be a place for our donation.

This picture is of a baby in the NICU (neonatal intensive-care unit) at the Paropakar Maternity and Women's Hospital. I (Scott) was moved to tears seeing doctors and nurses valiantly trying to save these newborn babies under very trying circumstances. We (LDS Charities) are working to help bring in CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines to help these little ones breath and survive. I couldn't help but think about my own grandchildren and how I would feel if they were in similar circumstances.
