Waning Crescent

Nepal is the land of high mountains - and land of many festivals. More than 50 festivals are celebrated in Nepal every year. In the US, our holidays (festivals) have fixed dates. In Nepal, astrologers use the lunar calendar to set dates for religious festivals. I find that fascinating – after all, the moon has so much power over so many things here on earth! I think we sometimes forget to go by the rhythms of nature, rather than the calling of the clock.

I sure hope we can celebrate these festivals with our child someday soon!

Namaste.

Helping women & children in Nepal

Take a moment to look at Namlo International. This tiny organization based here in Colorado builds schools and empowers women and children in Nepal and Nicaragua. I've done a bit of volunteer work with them in the past and plan to do more - they're amazing people who do a lot with very little.

If you have a bit of time or money to contribute - please consider contributing to Namlo. Since we hope to have the honor of giving a home to a child from Nepal, we think it's important to support the country in other ways while we wait.

Namaste.

Good News!!

Wonderful news - it sounds like a few referrals have been released - after such a long quiet period.

We're hoping these children will be joined with their families soon! And we're grateful to the government Nepal for their commitment to the Adoption Program and to the children of Nepal.

We are so excited for the day we get to travel to see this amazing country, and to meet our child.

Namaste for now.
