Its a great idea to appreciate with something to that great person who is fighting for the good cause. I am not sure collecting money is a good way of appreciating his work than again like you said scholarship might be the best way of saying thank you. Only thing i would suggest is whatever we do for him, its ok if he doesn't know it but rest of the people in Nepal or outside of Nepal should know what has been done to appreciate his good and hard work. Like publishing in Kantipur as a headline, spread the word in social media or probably if we can put in TV news channels that would be best..
And last but not the least Yes, I am in . We always say wish I could do something and now its time to act. Lets do it.
