Wearing their Sunday best to go to the cinema

These are pictures from my two weeks volunteering at the Happy Home orphanage in Nepal. The first twenty or so of the pictures here were taken by the children themselves, using my camera. There are 11 girls and 6 boys living here and there are a couple of rooms set aside for volunteers. The kids are really bright, love to read and study and have a super positive attitude.

The orphanage's website, which I worked on during my stay here, is www.happyhomenepal.org
