In September 2023 our chairperson went to Nepal to attent Bicon 2023, a conference on alternative care in Asia.

While in Nepal, I was asked to give some training sessions to workers of the Jana Hitaishi Foundation.

At that time the Jana Hitaishi Foundation was running a hostel (another word for children's home) in Nepal but was in the proces of changing from institutional care to a family based care approach and was reintegrating the children back into families.

In the video on the right you can watch an interview Monique had with Bodharaj about their transition.

I also gave my presentation to two fellow travellers who were staying in my hotel and also the hotel owner attended. He himself was a member of a service club, and therefore interested in the topic.

And when I left Nepal I left a booklet 'Children without a HOME' in the lobby of the hotel. Hopefully it will open someone's eyes and change the future for vulnerable children.
