HELP BALLANTYNE FIND NEPAL ORPHANS

Donation protected



My name is Ballantyne Forder, and I am 22 years old. In April 2015 I was volunteering in an orphanage in Nepal when a devastating earthquake took the lives of over 10,000 people. With 16 orphans under my care we had no other choice but to run for our lives and pray. As the quake hit news headlines all over the world, there we were huddled together in a field as I tried my very best to comfort them with cuddles and songs. I can now say that it's only by God's grace that we all survived. 

Upon returning to Australia, I have had an unshakeable desire to return. I am hoping that through this campaign I can raise enough money  to return to Nepal with a team to ensure they are safe and sound. These kids are on my mind every day and I still pray for them daily. I don't know where they are or what happened to them after the quake, but I need to know that they are safe.

It's no hidden truth that traffickers often take advantage of children through such terrifying and vulnerable times as these, and much to my absolute devastation, these are exactly the kinds of reports I'm hearing. This has made my desire to return all the more urgent . 

Your help will enable a small team of four to investigate and track down the children and we aren't sure how long it will take to track them down.
