| We are currently trying to connect with other aid organizations, orphanages, orphan related non-profits, NGO’s and volunteering or charity groups within India. Our hope is that through unity with others who have similar goal (the care of orphan children) we can help each other to be more effective. |

The GSAM is located 350kms to the East of Delhi on the border of Nepal. There are approximately 100 orphan children on the mission. The GSAM is a fully non-profit orphanage run by the Shipway Family that relies on donations and support from volunteers and workers to keep changing the lives of hundreds of Indian children.

A little about us...The GSAM was started in 1948 in a remote jungle area of Northern India, on the border of Nepal. The "mission" is now surrounded by many villages and small towns. There are approximately 100 orphan children on the mission, ranging from newborn to young adults. Though it is partially self-supporting thanks to a 60 acre farm, the GSAM relies primarily on help from caring individuals to keep changing the lives of so many orphan children.
The mission is largely run on a communal basis with many of the staff working as volunteers, without pay but the mission helps to meet their needs by providing food and supplies. There are also workers who do work for a salary, though it is very minimal. The whole "family" consists of about 220 people. The mission loves to have volunteer workers to help out, more information can be found the in volunteering sections of our site.

Latest news from our blog...
Thanks to some amazingly generous people it looks like we are going to be able to go ahead with Isobel’s surgery. A Doctor in Delhi who is a friend of friend heard about Isobel’s case and has offered to pay for the spinal brace. Five generous donors have also committed to giving nearly half of the money needed for Isobel’s surgery. We want to thank these people for their support and for everyone else who has helped out in one way or another.
We still have a long way to go but we are confident now that this is most certainly achievable. If you would like more information about Isobel’s condition, treatment or the finances needed please get in contact with us. We have scanned copies of her medical reports readily available for anyone who thinks they might be able to help.
If you would like more information or information on how you can donate to us with Tax-Deductibility in Australia and the USA please contact us or if you would like to donate instantly online via Paypal please click this link. |
