Pushpa Basnet, lives in Nepal, which according to UNICEF it
is one of the poorest countries, with 55% of people living under poverty line.
She resides in a two story house accompanied by 40 children. All of the
children she lives with, has once been in prison with their parents. Without
her help, these children would be spending LIFE behind bars, because of their
parents’ crimes. When the parents are arrested, they ahve the choice to bring
their children to jail with them or to let them live on the streets. Since
2005, Basnet has helped over 100 children of incarcerated parents. The “Butterfly
House”, continues to aid children with food, clothing, shelter, medicine,
school and most importantly, love. I think that this article is really inpiring because it shows that one person with a big heart can make a difference.

I find this very inspiring, helping those children who only have to very grim options. To be forced to pay for your parents crimes is a horrible way to live life and I think that Pushpa helping these children is a miracle to them. She must have a huge heart to help all these children in the Butterfly House.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a shocking case in which children are paying for the sins of their fathers. It is admirable, utterly noble and inspiring that this woman is finding it within her heart to be a guardian angel for these children, who so desparately need one. She truly encompasses what it means to "love your neigbour" and for the religiously inclined, this woman would be a saint.
DeleteI think it's terrible that innocent children would have to live in jail. I think what this women is doing with the Butterfly House is such an inspiring thing. I think the most important thing this women is giving these children is love. I think it's great that these children who have been living with what their parents have done are given the chance to do something with their lives.
ReplyDeleteI think this woman is doing something really good for these children, and their parents. They don't need to worry about what is going to happen to them because of this woman and her caring attitude. This articles shows that this woman cares more about others the herself, and she would do anything to help strangers in need.
