FAST FOR HELP NEPAL HEALTH POST, MUGU, WEST NEPAL
This inspring act of benevolence by such young people prove that there is no age barrier to when it comes to giving.
Several high school students around the world, led by a 17 year old Nepali in the Philippines will embark next week on a 2-day long fast to help raise funds for a health post in a remote district of Mugu in Nepal.
The health post was built in part by the Help Nepal Network (HeNN) [www.helpnepal.net], a global charity of Nepalis living in different parts of the world, and came into operation last July. Unfortunately, the health post desperately lacks the necessary resources to keep it running.
Following an international call for help by HeNN, Suvayu Pant studying in Grade 12 at the International School of Manila took the lead and campaigned in association with the South Asian Cultural Club of the school to hold the charity event.
What started as a school-local project, evolved into an international fund raising event.
Along with Suvayu, Ayat Ali (Philippines), Daniel Johnson (Canada), Mark De Sousa (South Africa), Venessa Yung (Hong Kong) and Cassie Vergel (China) will also be taking part in the fast.
Venessa Yung and Daniel Johnson are key supporters of the endeavor. They have taken the initiative to start fund raising activities in their respective countries.
If you would like to make a donation, or read more about the event, please log on to
