History
This organization was started in 2015 when Mark visited Nepal after a devastating earthquake and saw children being sold into brothels. It hit home when he realized the children were the age of his daughter. The dream to rescue at least 5 of these children lead to a small children’s home that has grown to become a residential school with 100 children rescued from vulnerable situations of abuse, brothels, negligence, and poverty.
