Forget Me Not Nepal Project

It all began with Lars Olsen who was volunteering in Nepal for a period of five months. Lars spent 5 months in 2004 working in two orphanages and teaching English at a local Primary School.

"I fell in love with the children of Nepal, those with no family, no possessions, no schooling, and yet they had this beauty about them – their ability to smile and laugh, when in their wake lay nothing but hardships, was tremendously uplifting for me. Here were children who looked upon life with simplicity and love, children that had developed compassion and wisdom at such a young age."

There was one group of children that Lars and some other volunteers took out for a night stay at a hotel. The whole group had never encountered a doorknob before and thus didn't know how to open it, and even more amazingly, none knew how to turn on a tap at a sink or shower.

"I spent the whole night listening to them sing as they had baths and washed their hair for the first time in their lives. I knew then that this is what I wanted to do, I wanted to start an orphanage and help to improve the quality of life of those surrounding me. I had no initial plan, I just knew that I wanted to help, and my heart cried out for those children and their beautiful innocence."
