HCC Founder Bruce Keenan Featured on The Huffington Post

Can everyone do a little something every day to change the world? Check out Mitch Ditkoff’s article on the Huffington Post “A Beginner’s Guide to Helping Orphans” which details 10 tips that everyone can do to help change an orphan’s life. It features HCC Founder Bruce Keenan and his journey from feeling moved to action to help one little girl in Nepal to the thriving and growing organization that currently educates well over 100 students, and seeks, through diverse programming and initiatives, to help up to 5,000 children by 2020. At HCC, we fundamentally believe the desire to change the world is the only prerequisite required to change the world.

Finally the day arrived and we had to arrive at the venue by 3. We rushed to the models and did the final fittings. By that time, Dinesh Uncle, Hira Aunt and Bruce Uncle had arrived. As my sequence was on the 4th we had a huge rush backstage that let me meet them only for a brief minute and we couldn’t even click a picture together. Show started at 7. After the third sequence we had the models change into our designs. Finally, our design was on the runway, and we walked at the end of the sequence with our showstopper, Simpal Kharel. While walking on the runway, there were a huge number of audiences, included; designers, press media, journalists, photographers, ambassadors, etc. After our sequence, we went backstage and we really had a roller coaster of emotions. All those sleepless nights, stresses, no meal days and all the difficulties we went through were finally over. It was worth everything. This concludes my three years of learning and we had the chance to showcase it to the crowd and people. After our sequence we finally had the time to breather. All along these past three months it felt as if somebody had put on something in our neck as we were suffocating but now it felt as if it had been let go. We could breathe in peace.

After the runway we had a huge feast and that tasted like the best meal that I had for the entire life.
