ORPHANAGE IN HIMACHAL PRADESH, NORTHERN INDIA
In December 2006 John Shepherd Field Director for Global Compassion visited Himachal Pradesh in north India in the foothills of the Himalayas. During his time there he visited a small independent orphanage perched high up on a hillside. There are about 30 orphaned or abandoned children in the home. The building is a rented property with 8 or 9 rooms plus kitchen and wash rooms. The building was in a very poor decorative condition. With little or no heating and being located high up in foothills of the Himalayas it gets very cold at night in the winter. The beds at the home were very basic with few warm blankets for the children.
