\u200bJapanese friends visiting Nepal<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

April was an intense month as a team from our partner Bethany Kindergarten from Japan visited the work in Nepal. They have been involved in the work from the very beginning when they helped us when we raised funds to start the first Badi Girls Hostel. Apart from visiting the hostels and the CCS school, Miriam Baby Centre, etc. they also visited earthquake areas and areas like Chepang and Gorka. They returned back home to Japan with a much greater understanding of the poverty, the difficulties and the culture of sexual abuse, but also with a great appreciation and thankfulness to the work of Lighthouse Foundation. In the midst of all the darkness and difficulties miracles are taking place \u2013 women and girls are being rescued and education and restoration is ongoing. The growth is obvious and the transformation is tangible.<\/span><\/p>\n
