Happy Dashain to all our friends and family in Nepal!
And an early Happy Halloween to all our Western supporters too!
With bidding for the school construction contract underway, we are happy to announce a new partnership for our project…and a Canadian one at that.
Aura Freedom will be partnering with "A Library in A Week", a Canadian organization that raises money to build libraries around the world. The mission of "Library in a Week" is to build 100 libraries around the world in a way that drives real sustainable change. Their method is agile, cost effective and has real impact.
They have successfully built libraries in many different countries, including Nepal, Colombia, Panama, Indonesia and even a First Nations reserve in Canada. Its founder, Sultan Akif, is currently visiting Nepal and will be meeting with our project staff in Kathmandu.
Those who know Aura Freedom know how passionately we feel about education. We believe that providing safe spaces to learn and study is a sustainable way to empower marginalized communities. Just think of all the bright young minds who never have the chance to contribute to the world. Everyone deserves the opportunity to lead remarkable lives, no matter where they are born. Providing the children of Shree Bhumimata with a safe school and now a new library is one way to build them up and encourage them to spread their wings.
Stay tuned for more updates on this new partnership.
We are grateful for all your support! Thank you J
