My Brothers: some photos

These are the faces of some of the amazing, talented, creative, caring, spunky, handsome boys that I hang out with every day here in Nepal

This lad is supper chatty, his English is excellent and he's one of the first lads I got to know  here. When I needed to take new photos of the boys for their sponsorship letters, he took the list from my hands and said 'come sister, I will help.' He sought out each boy on the list and told them what I needed and then crossed their name off after the photo was taken. :) 

At least half of the photos taken of the boys or around the house have been taken by this lad.  Any time I come over with my camera he says 'Camera sister, please' and off he goes to photograph the lads, the soccer posters on the walls, and anything else that takes his fancy.

This lad is an amazing break-dancer! He's also an excellent Nepali teacher and helped me learn my numbers :) 

This lad had just received a post-card from his sponsor in Canada,  he was well excited to read it and have something that was just for him. 

Feeling in a charitable mood now that you've seen the faces of some of the children the Umbrella Foundation looks after?  Help support their cause here: http://www.mycharity.ie/event/jewelinnepal
(Note: vegetable prices are on on the rise.  Many of Nepals fruit and veg comes from India and there's an activist group trying to prohibit entry to any Indian made vehicle, including the lorrys full of produce.  I go to the market every Monday and Friday with one of the Umbrella staff and every week he worries about the cost of the veg he buys.  The kids must be fed though, so we do our best to find the best quality, freshest and inexpensive tomatoes, pumpkins, green beans, soya beans, potatoes, onions, squash, etc.)
