Thank you for joining russ. Its a growing trend in travel, voluntourism, dogooders hoping to see the world while supporting a worthy cause. But things are not always what they seem. Tonight a shocking investigation into suspect orphanages in nepal. Heres abc chief Foreign Correspondent terry moran. Reporter welcome to kathmandu, nepal. A mecca for mountain climbers and spiritual seekers alike. It is also a major hub for travelers who are lured by the opportunity to give something back, called voluntourists. Hello. Reporter nepals orphanages attracted voluntourists from around the world, part of a booming billiondollar voluntourist industry, popular with western young backpackers. It sounded positive. As a schoolteacher i was interested in volunteering. Reporter moira waterfall was 29 when she took a trekking vacation in nepal. She heard about an orphanage called happy home from fellow hikers. Moira decided to teach english there. She made her own fundraising website to help the orphanage raise money from outside donors. And the man who ran the orphanage, seen here in this video. Then one day a shocking encounter changed everything. I was just going for a jog. I ran into one of the children that were in the orphanage and she was with a woman who was old enough to be her mother. Aunty, they call you aunty. She said, hes a bad man, trying to explain to me what happened, really upset, in broken english. I didnt understand, i didnt know who this woman was with her. To my knowledge, the majority of these children were orphans. Reporter on happy homes website the girl was described as an abandoned street child. But she told moira this was her mother. She started explaining to me the man was stealing their stuff, that he was physically abusing them. Reporter word spread among the volunteers who helped bring a case. He was found guilty of severe child neglect. Nobody wants to believe when you put time and energy and love and money into something you think is good, that it may not be. Its a horrible, shocking feeling. Moira had personally raised 4,000 for happy home and says she knows her fellow volunteers raised tens of thousands more. While there are some legitimate orphanages in nepal, experts here warn that too often voluntourism fees end up going into the owners pockets. More often than not, the kids arent actually orphans at all. They get volunteers to come, they create websites. Of course, you know, the foreigners heart is just broken and they just give and give and give. Reporter this is anna howell and martin punax, working for american ngo next generation nepal. They work with the nepali government to rescue children from orphanages and bring them to this transit home. Every child here was rescued from an orphanage. Wellmeaning foreigners are funding exactly. A trafficking regime . Yeah. Reporter heres how it works. Orphanages in nepal can get thousands in donations from foreigners. But they need children to get this money. So they send agents into rural villages to convince poor parents to send their kids to the city. In these remote villages, desperate poverty. A trafficker shows up. Whats the pitch . It could be someone thats got high status, dressed well, promises sponsorship, boarding school, health care. The parents turn the children over to the trafficker . They see this as a way of helping their children to have a better life. But all these promises are false. Reporter thats what next generation nepal says happened to sushila, rushila, and sudib, siblings from a small village outside kathmandu. The Organization Says the three children were rescued from a neglectful orphanage in a raid that was broadcast on local tv. Was it a bad place . How was it bad . Reporter they say they were beaten. Hit the bottom of your foot . Reporter the kids tell us they were underfed, had tuberculosis. Were the children told to tell the white people they were orphans . Yes. You were supposed to tell them no mom, no dad, you were orphans . Yes. Reporter unicef estimates 85 of children in orphanages in nepal have at least one living parent. The Child Welfare board keeping tabs on orphanages is like a game of whack a mole. Making matters worse, the devastating earthquake that struck just last year, creating more chaos that human Rights Groups warn could lead to more orphanage trafficking. We notice the website for happy home was still being updated. Could they still be open for business . Home reporter my producer posed as a potential volunteer. Happy home reporter turns out this man has nearly 100 children in his care. Our producer asked him about the abuse conviction. He blamed it on western attacks. Could you explain what you mean by that . I was in jail also. For what . What were you in prison for . Kidnap. Kidnapping . Reporter in addition to the conviction for severe child abuse, he was put on trial for kidnapping and fraud, charges which were ultimately dismissed. How do you explain the fact that you have 100 kids in your house, but you have these charges and fines youre paying for child abuse . How do you explain that . Actually, happy home is already we spent more than ten years here. And the case was just one and a half year past. It might not be true. Did you ever abuse kids . No. There is no proof. Its just propaganda. Reporter he says hes appealing the court decision. When the government does rescue kids they often hand them over to next generation nepal, who works to reunite them with their families. You guys are going home, how are you feeling . Reporter the siblings are hopeful this is the end of their ordeal. Happy happy . Reporter the childrens mother and grandmother say they sent them to an orphanage in kathmandu in the hopes of an english education. They were devastated to find out the children were not being cared for. Are we close to home . Yeah. Reporter today theyre being welcomed home by their grandmother. Hi, sweetie reporter a moment years in the making. Your grandchildren are home now. How does that feel . Reporter according to martin, finding childrens families can be like finding a needle in the haystack, but the end result is worth it. Its wonderful seeing them here now in their village with their grandmother. Reporter a happy day for the siblings. But there are many more children like them still waiting to go home. You really want people to come to nepal, volunteering in an orphanage is not good. Most of them are scams, theyre not real orphanages. Reporter terry moran in kathmandu, nepal. Up next, u. S. Womens Gymnastics Team sticks the landing in rio with the help of 19yearold superstar simone biles. Later, why is dwayne the rock johnson throwing stones at some of his costars .

She did a roundoff backhand spring her very first time in class, said my brother taught it to me in the backyard. Reporter its those handsprings that set her apart, says her coach. Knowing exactly where you are in the area. Some people have incredible balance, imagine having balance without your feet on the ground while flipping and twisting and knowing exactly when to bring your feet to the floor so that you dont die.

I think i pared ired up with th because it reflects on my gymnastics. Small can be powerful. Reporter before the commercials and fame there was sacrifice, lots of it. Countless hours in the gym. Forcing her to miss out on moments most teenagers cherish. I thought that like i was missing out on Public School and going to all the Football Games or prom or homecoming. But then once i think back to it im like, well, yeah, i can say ive missed a prom but ive been to three World Championships and they wont ever get to say that. So i think its a winwin. Split and wrap. Good. Shes a major rock star. When you have people like Mary Lou Retton and bela karolyi saying shes probably the greatest gymnast theyve ever seen in their lives . Thats a really big deal. Reporter tonight shes one step closer to proving thats the case. Shes favored to win four more medals in the individual events.
