Love Across The Globe

IMG_7562

Don’t these sweet faces just melt your heart? I have only spent a short time with these children, yet, I can see such great love through each and every one of them. The two girls holding hands in the middle are (older) Mangali and (younger) Saraswoti. Both girls are especially near to my heart since they were unable to be adopted by my parents because of Nepal shutting down adoption with the United States. Through the heartbreak, we began work on a retail line called ‘Mangali Collection’ where proceeds go to the orphanage that these children are in, New Beginnings Children’s Home, Kathmandu, Nepal.

For the second year in a row, we will be participating in Forget the Frock movement which is simply what it says. We are forgetting the frilly Easter attire that your grandmother loved putting you in for church when you were 5 and are wearing a t-shirt to support a charity instead. Mangali Collection has designed a new FTF tee this year and we are so honored and humbled to be a part of such a special movement. 100% of the profit from Forget The Frock, will directly benefit the orphans in Nepal. For more information on how to join in on the movement with Mangali Collection contact;

Ditching the Duds for Easter

Aren’t these children precious? I absolutely think so and my heart is still in Nepal with these orphans. The little girl in the middle with the blue hat on is Mangali. She is very near and dear to my family’s hearts. My parents were unable to adopt her a few years ago, and as torn as we all were, we couldn’t just forget about her and her friends. We began work on a brand called Mangali Collection which provides these orphans with things all the way from running water to birthday parties. As the brand has just recently kicked off, we decided to be a part of Forget the Frock movement. Forget the Frock is simply what it says, on Easter we are wearing a t-shirt that supports a cause instead of spending money on traditional Easter attire. I am so excited to be sporting a Mangali Collection tee this Easter instead of going through the, “Ugh I have to find an Easter dress!”.  I cannot begin tell you how thankful we are that so many of you have participated in this with us. Also, we want to thank the sweet people behind Forget the Frock that had such a creative idea.
