As somebody who has dedicated his life to the welfare of the underprivileged and vulnerable children in Nepal, Belgian volunteer, Mr. Wim De Becker has been looking after Kids Shangrila Home for the last several years.

In 1995, the home was originally founded as Riou Academy Nepal by a Belgian volunteer, Ms. Inge Bracke. In the initial stage, the home had 11 children from the disadvantaged communities and families. In 2004, the care home was renamed as Kids Shangrila Home. All the children, who were under the care of Rio Academy Nepal, had been transferred to the new organisation. visit website: http://www.shangrilahome.be
