Recent activity for The Fishermen includes the following items:
1. The Fishermen is now fully registered with the United Nations and has applied for Consultative Status with ECOSOC.
2. We have received confirmation of safe receipt of our first shipment of medical supplies.
3. A second shipment of medical supplies will be shipped to another orphanage this month.
4. We will be speaking with students within the Wake County School System to encourage young adults to become more active in non-profit work. Our message is that anyone, of any age or from any neighborhood, can make the world a better place.
5. We are establishing relations with state and federal politicians, businesses, churches, and schools to promote our work and assist in fund-raising and supply drives. Children here in the United States will have the unique experience of campaigning for and connecting with orphaned children in another country! Our greatest hope is to promote the idea that we are all citizens of this world regardless of nationality or religion. We wish to teach cultural awareness and respect to local youths. Our overall aim is to teach through outreach, starting in one’s neighborhood and extending across the globe.
5. We are producing our first country report regarding health concerns in orphanages. We have selected Kyrgyzstan and will submit our findings to appropriate UN committees for consideration. It is our hope that this report will encourage improved medical support for the children of the Kyrgyz Republic.
6. We have solidified relations with Children of Tien-Shan, a wonderful child protection organization located in Kyrgyzstan. It is our goal to provide medical supplies to all of Kyrgystan’s orphanages through Children of Tien-Shan with the help of Irina Trofimova.
And to end, thank you to all of the good people who are helping us. Remember, with every small step we make the world a little better! Today we are sewing the seeds for a better tomorrow, and in the end a better, safe world for us all!

Help Us
The Orphan Help Center (OHC) greatest aim is to provide a home, an education and healthcare to street children and to children who had to flee their home for political or economic reasons.
We are located in Katmandu and are currently hosting 10 children between 9 and 15 years old. The names of the children are: Santosh, Sajina, Chhewang, Hom Bdr, Sarita, ShreeKrishna, Rupesh, Aita, Ranjana and Bijay who is the oldest one.
Most of the children are in a critical phase of their lives and this is the time when their needs are at peak. They are growing fast and need new clothes, first or second hand. They need adequate food to be able to perform to their utmost in school and to grow up to be strong and healthy adults.
The mission of OHC is to do more than provide food and clothes for the children.
We want to give them a good education.
We want to give the children a home again, a home where they can be loved and cared for a home where they can play, have fun, and be children.
We want to see these children go out and make a difference in the world – the world that is giving them a chance today.
The Orphan Help Center needs donations and sponsors for the children. We need funds so we can continue with our goal to give unfortunate children a bright future, so we can send them out with a degree and self-confidence.
There are no parent or government handouts so we rely on your help. Everything from soap to school supplies. We are looking for permanent sponsors for each child. You can help with everything from a baseball to a bachelor degree.
With your small contribution,
The children will have a bright future !!

Surya Shrestha is a native of Nepal, looking to start his own orphanage.
This is his story:
Surya was born to a poor family in the countryside of Nepal. Growing up for him, things we take for granted, like proper food, clothing, and health care were not readily available. His parents played a big role in his life, and in his education. His parents worked very hard to provide as best as they could for his. Still, Surya had to work in his rich neighbors’ homes and on their farms for very little pay to afford schooling.
After passing standardized tests, Surya traveled to Kathmandu to continue his studies. His brother was working for a trekking company as a guide. He began university, supported by his brother for a few months, until he too joined the company part-time to pay for school. He now has a bachelor’s degree in commerce and is studying for his MBA. Surya has his own travel and tourism company based in Kathmandu. He has also volunteered his time and ingenuity to several NGOs. His next project is to establish an orphanage for orphaned and impoverished children.
Through his work, he has visited much of rural Nepal and seen the poor and orphaned children first hand. Surya’s inspiration to help the children of Nepal is the memory of his own childhood hardships. His goal is to provide orphaned, abandoned, and impoverished children in the basic necessities: being food, shelter, health care and an education.
Surya needs help coordinating nationally and internationally, establishing himself and building a network with social workers and organizations to make his dream come true!
He has very generously shared his story, and his mission with us.
He has also given us the go-ahead to post his information on this site so that those who wish to aid in his vision can contact him:
