"WHEN I LOOK BACK AT MY STAY AT THE PADMA CHILDREN'S HOUSE WHAT I REALLY REMEMBER IS THE SENSE OF FAMILY AND CARING. THAT KIND OF COMPASSION IS SOMETHING THAT I HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE. IT IS GOOD TO KNOW KIDS LIKE THAT WILL BE THE FUTURE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND OUR WORLD. PADMA IS HELPING TO GUARANTEE THAT."

"A FEW YEARS AGO I TRAVELLED TO KATHMANDU TO MEET THE PADMA CHILDREN AND I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THE FUNDS WERE PUT TO USE. THE CHILDREN ARE WONDERFUL AND SO EAGER TO LEARN AND SUCCEED. I LOVE THIS ORGANIZATION AND AM PROUD TO PLAY A SMALL PART."
