Dauth Gurung (pictured above) is an eight year old boy from a remote region in Nepal. It takes 4-5 days to reach his village from Kathmandu.  In appearance, the villagers strongly resemble the Tibetans.

People live in extreme poverty here.  There is not enough food to go around for the whole village.  There is no school; no electricity.  Sickness and disease flourish because doctors are not interested in going to remote areas.  The climate is so cold that people take baths once a month and wear the same clothes for a year!

Dauth (pictured above) was a shepherd in his village.  He was an honest, hard-working boy.  But he had severe speech disability.  His family was so poor that he lived on only one piece of bread every day and that was very dirty and half cooked.  

One day the Lord opened the door for Dauth to come to Kathmandu.  Here a BUILD staff member made contact with Dauth and invited him to come to "MY CLUB" - a weekly program run by our ministry, to minister to the children.  Dauth started coming to MY CLUB.  Through the care and nurturing of our children's workers, Dauth began to speak normally.  He learned to sing and memorize Bible verses.  He loves to play with other children in his class.  Once a shy boy, now Dauth sings, claps, and prays to Jesus in public.  His guardians are amazed by the transformation that has taken place in Dauth's life in such a short time. 

Friend, did you know, more than 9 million children under age 5 die every year and malnutrition accounts for more than one-third of these deaths?  Psalm 72:4 says, "Help him to defend the poor, to rescue the children of the needy, and to crush their oppressors”.

You can help mentor a child like Dauth, for only $1 a day or $30 per month.  We have many children who are in desperate condition.  Will you save one life?  The Scripture says, "Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do”.

Speaking for those who have no voice,
