APPEAL
Eight-year old Ashok Karki, centre, a homeless child engages in drawing near a temple in Kathmandu yesterday.

The open space outside the temple is his home. Association for Protection of the Children, a child aid agency, provides food, basic education and shelter to street children whose number is rising in the streets of the Nepalese capital, a growing problem in one of the world’s poorest countries.
