Welcome to Show You Care!
Show You Care is a charity which supports the orphans living in The Himalayan Children's Care Home, Pokhara, Nepal. It is 1 of 42 orphanages there!!
The orphanage was founded and is run by Lama Pasang, a Tibetan Monk, who works tirelessly to raise funds and sponsorships for the children, in the hope of giving them a better education. His vision is to give them a chance to be independent, to survive in the outside world and enable them to find employment when it is time for them to leave.
There are over 50 children in total ranging from 5 - 14 years in age.
I was privileged to spend time with the children and Lama Pasang, helping where possible, and I have to
say it was a most humbling experience to see the caring, loving, gentle nature and happiness of them all,
with what we would describe as very basic facilities. No hot water, drinking water being
collected from a central tap in the area with an allowance of GBP 1.35 per week per child for food!!
Help make their lives better by showing you care.

A few words from Lama Pasang
"Many drops of water make an ocean!"
"A little help from you would better our children's life greatly. Our main goal is to enable our children to stand on their own 2 feet and hopefully, they can do something to help others after that.
Currently, in Mustang, it is difficult to find Educated people such as Teachers, Engineers, Doctors and etc. Therefore, I am trying to change the situation there. However, it is a great task and I couldn't possibly achieve my goal by myself, without your help and support."
