Brian "Head" Welch launches Head Home orphanage in India.

THE EX-GUITARIST of notorious mainstream rockers Korn, Brian "Head" Welch, who recently shocked the music world by leaving the band after his Christian conversion, flew to India to launch an orphanage for India's refugees. Welch spoke about the initiative, called Head Home, "Throughout all of my life I have always had a heart for people that are hurting especially those that have no one to help them. My eyes have been opened to children on the street and I feel like for me that is who I want and need to help."

Head has linked up with new manager, Steve Delaportas of Fortitude Films, to develop his musical career, launch his upcoming documentary on his life and partner with Welch in the Head Home projects. Delaportas has provided funding and assistance to successfully help orphans country wide in India with the company Good News India. This company helps house, train and educate some 1600 school aged children throughout India. With Delaportas' track record of success already in India, Head will be focussing his Head Home to help children of all issues such as the leper communities to help introduce the leper children back into the community, help children where their parents have sold them into brothels, to other impoverished situations."
