SUMMARY OF TALK

Our speaker showed an interesting and informative video of Nepal life, their people and their lives.  A new school was built from the bricks from the old school.  Orphans sleep in streets and some have no one to care for them.  The children are sometimes kidnapped for slavery or prostitution.  People believe that if they pray to God everything will go well.
