I close my eyes and listen to the calming sounds of the children singing. I want to remember this sound and this feeling forever. We are on the Raksha Nepal rooftop and the kids are playing a game as the gorgeous sunset colors the sky and illuminates the giant Himalaya mountains in the background. It is no wonder that the word for mountain in Nepali is "Himal". They surround the Kathmandu valley just like a big bowl.
These kids have become my family. I love being with them, laughing with them, picking them up and hearing them shriek with laughter. But most of all I love their singing. It is a sound that brings tears to the eyes of every single visitor who comes to see them.
