We rent a small house in Kalimpong, a hill town in the border region of India, Bhutan and Nepal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This area is politically unstable and has a history of internal strife and conflict.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a poor area sheltering many refugee Nepali children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In our rented home 10 orphaned children are cared for by Betty and Arjun Thapa, the house parents. Most of these children have suffered immense emotional and physical trauma in their early lives and, after nearly 3 years in our home, they are now feeling secure and settled. The children all go to school nearby. </span></p>
