Education and food for poor children in Nepal

Thank you all so much for your generous donations! You are helping to make the life dreams of all our children come true! We received the second check from GlobalGiving last week and are so relieved! We have worried very much about having enough money to support the children’s needs including tuition, food, clothing, special lessons, a safe, functioning house and more. Now we know that we have enough support for the this year. We have had various donors over the years since we started Mary Home in 2007. And are so grateful to all of them. For the past 5 years a group of friends and donors from Georgia, USA, have made a huge difference in the children’s lives by sponsoring the tuition for the all the children – special thanks to all these dear friends. And now, friends and organizations who have wanted to donate but didn’t have a direct way since PayPal and other well-known portals don’t function in our part of Nepal, have a portal to support Mary Home as well. Donors from New York,salems church, Pennsylvania, north carolana,salk lake city ,losvagas,and more in the US as well as donors from Europe are all helping out. and australia .Many of you are good friends who have visited and volunteered at Mary Home and know firsthand the needs of the children and how we struggle to maintain the Home. With recent earthquakes, bedbug issues, water problems you have all helped us. We invite you to come visit Mary Home and would be so grateful to welcome you to our home. We will be preparing reports every 3 months. As suggested By GlobalGiving, we plan to personalize the reports by highlighting a different child in each report. This time we would like to introduce you to suman tamang (see photo).he works very hard on his studies and is exceling in all his classes at school. he  likes to sing songand  draw.  suman was from streets and we still dont know about his family .  So he was suffered to find place to stay and for food. same time police found him .they dont have any selter for child then they called  before finding a steady home at Mary Home at age six. he  is now 13 years old. and with GlobalGiving support he is able to continue his education, live in our nice home in Kathmandu and eat a healthy diet. In spite of the hardships he has experienced, he  is now a happy, talented, well-adjusted child who can look forward to a bright future. In conclusion, we value the importance of education, healthy foods and a nurturing, home environment and seek to help each child have a dream and a means to reach it. Thank you for helping us reach our goals. Much love and gratitude, Kopila, Anne and Leah
