Word from Joanna Giles, Founder HOG Heaven Charity Foundation :

A visit to Nepal

Enter a world of diversity, humility, poverty and hardship. Imagine not knowing any different....

There are many days when I feel beaten, it is all too hard - no one wants to go to another fundraiser, Why am I bothering, the world is too complacent, the computer doesn't work ......and then the day comes when you're off...leaving for this other world..... a place of simplicity such as Nepal where the children ask for nothing but when they see you -oh !! Now there is a feeling hard to describe......Father Christmas has nothing on me....... their faces light up with the essence of joy and receiving . And in return they give from a pure and generous heart...it knows no bounds, and fills one with a sense of such gratitude and blessedness that I can nay believe I was thinking to stop this work.

They say that Beauty takes your breath away.....I am held breathless

Tomorrow's aims...
