Forget Me Not - Website Page 2010
Thank you for showing an interest in the Australian Association of the Forget Me Not Children’s Home. Our Association is committed to providing orphans with a future by providing shelter, education and most importantly, love. We are so glad that you have chosen to join us in this journey.
Forget Me Not Children’s Home opened our door in Nepal to 6 beautiful girls in January 2006, then in Dec 2006 our 10 girls moved to a new large house. We now support 21 beautiful little girls and six local orphanage staff in Nepal. We also run a sponsorship program supporting a Ugandan children’s home of 39 children. The organisation runs on a firm foundation, raising funds here in Australia which go direct to the children’s homes. Our ever-growing support from corporate, community and individual supporters, all sharing the Association’s Vision, is truly a gift of generosity and love.
Following the purchase of over 27,000 sq metres of land in Nepal, we are now embarking on our newest adventure – building an eco-friendly, sustainable village which will support an additional 60 children and employ 15-20 local Nepali staff! Introducing Forget Me Not Eco Village (FMNEV)!!!
Forget Me Not Teams in Nepal!
Forget Me Not sent three teams over February/March to visit the children in Nepal and to kick off our building project. The first team arrived in Nepal on 26 February 2010 and focused on visiting the children and preparing the purchased land for the following team. The second team was a Rotary Team. They arrived in early March and spent their time on the land, fencing the building site and repairing an existing building. The final team comprised two child sponsor families who visited their sponsored children!
The Management Committee of Forget Me Not also visited our new Love Project in Uganda in early March to finalise government paperwork and assess the on the ground needs of the new project.
It’s an exciting time for Forget Me Not!! Check out the visitors journals and pictures on the website under “News” and on Facebook!!
