Love this film

This is a beautiful documentary film short that tells the story of a wonderful angel in Nepal who has dedicated her life to saving children from having to live in prison with their incarcerated parents. She loves, houses, feeds, and educates them, and teaches them that they have worth and purpose in this world. The film is visually stunning and well edited, and the local culture is evident and enlightening. We enter the world of these children, at home and at the school. Daily life is depicted, whether it be preparing for a school day or participating in a traditional dance. Throughout "Mamu" talks about her decision to help and her struggle to keep helping, with the financial and other obstacles she faces. Waiting for Mamu will lift your heart and make you want to get out there and do something.
