A New School in Nepal
Donation protected
Dear Friends,
I want to raise money to pay for the construction of a new school in the village of Tipling, in Nepal. This past summer, I spent five weeks volunteering in Nepal, both in the city of Kathmandu and in remote mountain villages. I was able to see first-hand the damage that was caused by the recent earthquakes, and I was fortunate to meet some of the amazing people who are working tirelessly to rebuild the country's damaged infrastructure.
Tipling is a village in the Himalayan foothills about 150 km north of Kathmandu. This village was particularly hard hit by the earthquakes. Almost all of the villagers lost their houses and all of the schools there were damaged beyond use. The children of Tipling are now going to school in temporary structures with just the most basic conditions for learning.
Receiving a good education has made a huge difference in my life. And I am sure that education has made a huge difference in your life too and in the lives of people around you. I would like to help provide the same opportunities for the school children of Nepal. Please help me reach my goal of $16000 for a new school in Tipling. This amount has been determined by local relief workers in Tipling with whom I am in contact. Every dollar you donate (less GoFundMe's premium) will go towards the construction of a new school. I can assure you of this.
