In the decades we have been working with children in Nepal, NYF has expanded not only in the number of children supported (from five to thousands), but also in the ways in which we help them. What has not changed is the intense sense of satisfaction and joy we get from our relationship with these lively and loving kids, and the admiration we feel at their courage and joy in overcoming the dreadful experiences of their early lives.With your help, we can continue to transform the lives of some of the most destitute children on Earth. When NYF was profiled on “The Oprah Show” in May 2002, thousands of donors offered support for this project as well as NYF’s other lifesaving programs. That support enabled us to take on more girls. But many more need our help. We are working with these girls and their communities for the long haul. NYF is close to our goal of ending the tradition of bonding girls in Nepal.
