This text is copied from a post by James, following our visit to "Camp Hope" with Sangita and her son Sean. The people were wonderful and the children so lovely and precious. The September 2015 earthquake left these families homeless and Camp Hope has been there current living situation. Even after a year their attitudes are positive and hopeful.
The Camp has been built,funded and directed by the Shrestha family under Sangita's leadership. She is the driving force in organizing the rebuilding of housing in the destroyed villages and the final closing of camp hope with a 18 month time frame target.
The children were our guides taking us by hand and leading us through the dark little village. There English was excellent, they were extroverted and polite children". Its already getting chilly here and they face a long cold winter in this camp. We are going to revisit on Saturday during the day and will bring our bags of coats and sweaters for them to sort and distribute.
