			== Baha'i Orphanage ==

			Dear beloved friends.

			What do you think if we try to do fund rasing and asking volunteers for establishment of a Baha'i Orphanage in Nepal?

			I am sure this can be done and there would be many volunteers and many Baha'is shall contribute and accept commitment for such an establishment.

			I suggest to consult with UHJ as well.

			Regards

			Behnam Ashoori South Africa
