To know, to really understand life at Kailash Home is to live in her sounds. Bells ringing suddenly in the pre-dawn light. The steady chanting of morning prayers. A hundred chairs scraping the dining hall floor. The clanging of dishes being washed and stacked back on their shelves. The routine thud of basketballs on concrete. Birdsong from just outside the open windows. And always, always the laughter and shouts and chatter of the children. Life at Kailash is an unending symphony of happy, vibrant noise.

It is officially one of my favorite times of the year. This is the season when we welcome a brand new set of children to Kailash Home and our HYF family! While in Nepal last month, I had the opportunity to personally greet our four new students and observed with great joy just how quickly they assimilated to life with the other children.

One of our top priorities in all of our projects is to provide all of our children with the best possible education from primary school up through vocational school or university. 🎓 It is our goal that each and every #KailashKid can go on to achieve whatever their dreams may be and in the process make their communities just a little bit better. 📚

It’s an undeniable fact that without the support of our worldwide community, we would not be able to provide so fully for our Kailash Kids. But, the day to day love and care of our children falls to another part of our extended, global family, and today we’d like to take a moment to introduce you to some of them.

We are kicking off 2022 in the best way! Thanks to our community of supporters, friends, and donors around the world, we not only met, but exceeded the goal for our 2021 Annual Appeal.

And just like that another year is coming to a close! We can hardly believe that 2022 is nearly here, and all of us here at HYF are so grateful for the support of our community through the tumults and triumphs of these last years. Our Kailash Kids are happy and healthy; our organization is strong; and we are filled with hope for a bright new year.

Our 2021 Annual Appeal begins now, and you have the opportunity to double your impact thanks to the extreme generosity of our friends the Bickells!

After over 53 weeks of school closures and cancelations, our Kailash Kids are finally heading back for in-person classes!

In December of 2020, Shirley Gurung of the COINS Foundation made a visit to Kailash Home. She shared her experience for the COINS Foundation blog.
