Atlanta Executives Join Efforts Supporting Himalayan Children's Charities

Online, May 13, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Himalayan Children's Charities (HCC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing care and education to destitute, orphaned, and abandoned children in Nepal. The charity is based out of Atlanta, Georgia.

The organization was born after a group of Atlanta businessmen visited an orphanage in Kathmandu and decided right then and there that they would each sponsor one of the children as a way of returning the warmth and kindness they had received during their visit to this land called Shangri La. Bruce Keenan, founder of Norcross based ProSys Information Systems is the champion of this cause. Bruce Keenan dedicated many years of his life to grow ProSys from a start up to a $400M company. Now his efforts are fully dedicated to help the less fortunate and provide them with the ability to succeed as well.

HCC works with Nepalese Children's Organization (NCO), a Nepali government entity with six orphanages in various regions throughout the country. The NCO is one of the largest nonprofit child welfare organizations in Nepal, providing at-risk children with shelter, food, clothing, and education.

Jennifer Dunphy, VP of Sales & Marketing of Atlanta SEO Company Vayu Media has joined the effort to build awareness for the charity. "Bruce has been a true supporter of Vayu Media and our company has been dedicated to many charitable activities. We decided to support Himalayan Children's Charities because it reflects the business fabric of Vayu Media. Our company is Atlanta based; however, our employees and partners span the globe. Atlanta is a true international city and it is great to see what kind of impact Atlanta business executives can make" said Jennifer.

The charity currently supports over 40 children. Most of the support comes through the networking of Atlanta entrepreneur and business executive Bruce Keenan. "At these orphanages, we identify children who are most in need and relocate them to English-medium boarding schools in Kathmandu. Here they live in safe environments, are clothed, fed, educated and cared for, have access to modern healthcare, and gain core life values that would typically be taught by parents, such as self-esteem, ethics, integrity, respect, and personal responsibility" explained Bruce Keenan.
