- How I Found My Nepalese Family In Kathmandu, a retired English
schoolteacher visits an orphanage where he meets a young man
desperate to train as a doctor. After a year's agonizing
indecision, the Englishman takes up the challenge and promises to
sponsor him. What follows is a life-changing experience in which he
himself comes to be adopted into a Nepalese family as brother,
uncle, friend and godfather. This book offers a unique and
warm-hearted look into the dilemmas of low-caste family life living
on the brink in Nepal. Meet the penniless tailor, Kiran, who was
saved from suicide; experience the comic informality of
house-hunting in Kathmandu; discover a colourful array of
characters, cheerful and courageous in spite of the extreme poverty
that they face. When Nick Morrice took early retirement, following
twelve years as Head of English at Downsend Prep School in
Leatherhead, he turned his attention to charity work. He founded
the West Surrey Local Support Group for WaterAid. But it was the
opportunity to sponsor a Nepalese boy through a local charity,
CHANCE for Nepal , which led Nick to venture into the country's
capital city, Kathmandu, for the first time in October 2009. Thus
began what has become a rewarding, ongoing project to support five
Nepalese orphans in fulfilling their hopes and ambitions.
