A Family of their Own

Razak and Uttam became “Best Friends Forever” at Asharan Orphanage in New Delhi, India. Razak didn’t know why he was at an orphanage, away from his father. He slowly adjusted to his new life and learned to laugh and play. As they saw their other friends go with adoptive parents, they too wanted families of their own. This past March, both Uttam and Razak’s dreams came true – they were adopted into loving families.

2008 - What a Year for HOPE worldwide Afghanistan!

2008 has been a year of completions and new beginnings. In Afghanistan, any project you start has been a major victory. But completing that project is an even bigger victory. Simply due to the natural course of events in this fluid environment, many unplanned obstacles can come in your path. Though everyone wants to do good, sometimes it just takes longer than you ever could have imagined.

This year we have been able to bring to completion several projects that have faced innumerable delays.

My Journey to Asharan

Love helps a child overcome insurmountable challenges

Varsha’s Story as told by the Asharan Staff, Delhi, India

My journey on earth must have begun at a hospital where my mom delivered me. Then I was lying on the ground near a bus stop all by myself, left to continue my journey alone. But I was too small.

A kind-hearted policeman picked me up and brought me to Asharan.
