Five members of Yapton Free Church; Hanneke, Annemarjin, Hugo, Will & Katie, and Jannine and Marcel from a church in Arnhem have recently returned from another great trip to this very beautiful but poor and needy nation. I (Hugo) first met Pastor Bharat in 2000 when he visited Yapton Free Church. He shared with me the desperate needs that they had in Nepal. He and his wife Tara had two daughters, Rebbekah and Jashmina, and were looking after 13 very poor children, some of whom were orphans, in their home without any support. We felt God prompt us to begin supporting Bharat, the children and his mission. In the October of 2000, after Bharat’s visit to Yapton, we took a Sunday offering for the orphanage which raised an incredible £6,200. This kick-started what soon became the ‘Nepal Project’. Bharat, Tara and their daughters eventually took care of 35 children, all supported by the generous monthly giving of people in and around Yapton and our local area. The sponsorship Nepalease children. scheme enabled us to support these children to benefit from having a safe and loving home, travelled through the country, we started to see receive a good education and to have a great other needs, schools in desperate need of help start in life. The children have since grown up and churches that needed support. and moved on, some furthering their studies and others taking their education and life skills back Our first schools project was a three-hour drive to their communities. outside Kathmandu, on the side of a mountain. We sent money to build 3 new classrooms My first visit to Nepal was in 2003 (every trip and purchase school uniforms for the 200 very we make is always completely self-funded). The poor children in the ‘mountain school’. We have devotion of Bharat, Tara and the family towards since supported 15 different schools across the children really impressed me. They were a big Nepal; buying generators, computers, building happy family and they loved and took care of the classrooms, painting, decorating, buying books children in their home so well. However, as we for libraries etc. the needs are endless. However, 4 One of the schools we support. it is encouraging to go back each year and see their homes to orphans and some have started the difference that our support has made. sowing projects for widowed women (there is no social security or benefits in Nepal).
