Dear all,
please help Sarvodaya  USA to win Chase Community Giving Contest  to build a school in Nepal

Bikesh Deshar lost his father to an unknown cause when he was six.
Bikesh, now 12, and his mother, who had married very young and had
remained a housewife, were left to a life of uncertainty. When it came
to Bikesh's education, they turned to Jyotidaya Cooperative School. The
school is a local youth run cooperative that provides education to about
300 children in the community. 40 students like Bikesh study for free.   

Jyotidaya School, is a unique model in Nepal and is run by young people in Chapagaun. It is established as a middle way between expensive
private schools, run for pure profit, and public schools, which lack
quality education. Tuitions fees are much cheaper than private schools
but quality isn't. In the last two SLC examinations 100% students have
passed, compared to 68% of national average. 

Jyotidaya School is a part of Sarvodaya, a
non-profit organization, dedicated to bring sustainable change by
encouraging local actions. 

You can help
construct a school in Chapagaun by simply voting on Facebook and helping
win Sarvodaya. The Facebook based challenge is run by US based Chase
Bank, which will give $250,000 to an organization that secures the most
votes by July 12, 2010. Should Sarvodaya win the award, it plans on
building school using local materials such as adobe and bamboo that
reflects Nepal's rich tradition of architectural design and indigenous
knowledge on constructions.
