Like many high school graduates, Maggie Doyne didn't go straight to college. She decided to travel and arrived in western Nepal in 2006. A war had just ended there and left many children living on the streets. They were often forced to work at hard physical jobs for little money.

One day, while walking down a country road, Doyne saw a little girl breaking up rocks. She soon learned that 7­year­old Hima sold the rocks to support her family. With deep sadness, she decided to pay Hima's tuition(学费) for school. Encouraged by the changes in the child, Doyne thought, "If we can help one child, why not 10?"

Doyne felt that the street children's greatest need was a home. She found a piece of land for sale and bought it with $5, 000 she saved from years of babysitting (当临时保姆). In 2008, the Kopila Valley Children's Home was set up. With the help from the community, another goal was reached in 2010-the Kopila Valley School. Over 350 children now attend the school and over 50 live in the home.

Today, Doyne lives in the home and is "mum" to the kids.
