Sam Vonumu used to work for Discovery TV Channel at the World Headquarters in Silver Spring, MD, USA. During Diwali celebration at Discovery, Uplift a Child was given a stall space in the atrium to exhibit about Uplift a Child activities so that the employees can contribute. During that time, the company has invited the local business vendors around the Discovery building to display their business stalls. At that time “Ghar e Kabab” is a Nepali restaurant who have put in their stall inviting Discovery employees to come and eat there. The name of the owner is Loknath Tiwari. He met us at the stall and liked what we do. He then requested to help children in Nepal. Mr. Vonumu asked him to do some homework first locally in Nepal. Mr. Tiwari took care of everything within 3 months’ time. Mr. Sam Vonumu (CEO of Uplift a Child International Inc) planned a visit to Nepal to meet all of the children, volunteers, schools and parents. After verifying all, we decided to start our operations.Our operations began in Nepal in 2013. We have started with Waling and Chitwan locations and since then, we are continue to support children in Nepal.
