The Love Company
Welcome
Hello from our The Love Company Nepal Orphanage! 'The Innocent Children's Home' is a non for profit orphanage that requires the help of volunteers to provide the love and support that is necessity in the development of every child's life. Your valued help is essential to ensure this orphanage provides the proper development that these children deserve, not to mention to reach the high goals that our organization has set. Our orphanage is situate in Pokhara, Nepal. It is built to service and house displaced children from remote farming villages that surround this picturesque area. We have many children on our waiting list trying to join our organization, which we want to provide, however we need you, the valued volunteer to support our organization and help make this and possible.
Our Mission To provide displaced children with a caring, loving home where they can grow, live and learn towards a brighter future. Our Vision To expand our organization in order to provide more orphaned children with a loving home. To educate our children through the generous time of volunteers from a broad range of cultures.
Our Children We have a total of 14 displaced children ranging form 3-12 years of age. They all come from very varied and distressing backgrounds, but their needs are all the same; love, care and schooling. Our orphans have mainly come from all over Nepal . Although our country is rich in natural beauty with the Himalayas lingering, the area provides many dangers which has led to the children needing the support of our orphanage. One example, is a brother and sister aged 4 and 5 years. Their mother passed away as a result of cancer and their father died from falling form a tree in search of forage for livestock in the dryer months. The children were left to their extremely poor grandparents who could not afford to upkeep two young children at their tender age. We have a small 'class room' at our orphanage where the children have daily lessons provided by our volunteers and occasionally by local residents of our area.
Although this is proving to be very stimulating for the children, they are in desperate need for further funding to be privileged enough to attend school for further development both personally and intellectually.
Volunteer with Us As our children are here mainly due to distressing circumstances, we need loving, caring and compassionate people to volunteer in our children's home. To become accustomed to the Nepalese culture, we are offering our volunteers the opportunity of a true Nepal farm stay in a remote village in an area where majority of our displaced children call 'home'. This will enable you to understand and better relate to our children and therefore be of more benefit to their needs. Not to mention a fantastic opportunity to meet real Nepalese people in their surroundings in areas that are off the tourist trail as well as accessible only by foot.
After this orientation into the Nepali lifestyle, you will be accommodated in a private room in the orphanage for the duration of your stay. Please teach our children English, math, games, personal hygiene, drawing, painting, music, dance and many more skills. Location Our home is in a quite location, 20 minutes walk from the popular "Lakeside" district of Pokhara. Easily assessable from Kathmandu by bus, or 5 minute taxi ride from the Pokhara airport. From our garden the magnificent Machapurchre and surrounding Himalaya's are clearly visible. Pokhara is the gateway to the Annurpuna region of the Himalayas, providing a wide range of trekking adventures. Pokhara is also well renowned for adrenalin sports, from white water rafting to paragliding. Pokhara offers a full range of services, including excellent restaurants, café's and shopping on the Fewa Lake. We hope you share your time and love with our children.

My Time in the Innocent children home was amazing and full with love and child care .I have enjoyed every moment of life in this children home.Kids in the children home are very very happy and joyful with so little they have and fun with nature.Touching them and playing with these kids was just like the real God has come to you and talking to you ,playing with you,sharing many thing with you,loving to you and make you think about our life in the west,When these children in this country are happy with so little they have. It was a great adventure for me i became part of this family,the kids will be in my heart for ever. the avrage day waking up about 7 although the kids sometimes wake up at 6 or when ever sun comes up.They do homework and play until our Nepali friend ,Rajiv,comes and tutor them they learn mathematics,Nepali language ,and English alphabet .Afterall this at about 8.30 or 9 Am we eat Dal Bhat ,rice and lentils,sometimes with tasty locally grown fresh vegetable.At 9.45 I walk the kids to school,when I return from school it is time to clean the big mess.sweeping,washing dishes and re organazing the kithen.When this is done I have 4 hours free to relax or explore Pokhara.Sometimes I go to the busy part of the city Near post office there I do shopping and eat for change.Sometimes I go to swimming in the lake ,occasionally i go to cyber to check my email.at 3 O,clock the kids finish their school so I go to pick them up then it is play time till dinner at that time i am a peacekeeper and sometimes I am a monaster after kids finish their dinner they need to brush their teeth I just remind them ,befor the beds they need to go for pee.

This orphanage and kids are complete delight.I will be back soon to volunteer again in this children home by the time i come they will be grown up. Max Wang Email:[email protected] USA
Krishna My experience at The Love Company orphanage in Pokhara I really enjoyed volunteering at this orphanage. I stayed here for two months. My duty as a volunteer was to play with children, walk them to school, help them with their English, hug them and be there for them in the first place. The children were always very happy and motivated to learn new things. They enjoyed playing games both out and inside. They are really happy when some volunteers are around, they really enjoyed their presence. There were fourteen children at the orphanage while I was there. At the beginning of my stay, the children went to school so we walked them to the school and helped them with their homework when needed. Then we had free time so we could meet other volunteers, go to a café or visit some nice places. In your free time you also can go trekking (depends on season), paragliding, sightseeing and many more. After a few weeks, the holiday started, so children spent most of the time at the children home. That was the great opportunity to interact with the children more. I really liked spending the time with the children, it was a fantastic and a life-changing experience. I would recommend this programme to anyone. It was a great experience and I enjoyed every second of it. It is also very rewarding since you can see you really have made a difference and helped the children a lot. They give everything back twice and you can see how happy and satisfied they are, even when you just hug them or laugh with them. Also, spending two months in Nepal was a perfect opportunity to get to know other culture and a foreign country. Especially Pokhara, where the orphanage is located, is a very beautiful place which most tourists visit and it is near the mountains and lakes. There are many beautiful villages nearby, too. To sum up, the time I spent at the Love Company was great, I absolutely enjoyed it and would come back any time. The children were really happy and I also loved the area where the orphanage is situated. I would very much recommend it to anybody who is thinking of going, it is really worth it and you help the children so much. If you have any questions about volunteering at this orphanage, feel free to contact me, I will answer all your questions – [email protected]
