Dear Sajhaites,
Here is an opportunity to do something good for Nepal. Let's show that we just not only talk here in Sajha but also actually convert our talks into a tangible action.
2011 is regarded as the Tourism Year for Nepal and we are 5 people from 3 different states(Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska) running the Colorado marathon on May 1st with one common theme: 'Run for New Nepal' TOURISM YEAR 2011 Here is how the fund is going to be utilized within Himanchal Education Foundation:
Raise $6000 - All proceeds will go to building 1 Repeater Station for the wireless project in Gorakha District.
Raise $150 - One month of student's expense in Kathmandu from Nangi
Raise $40 - One month of Books and Tuition fee for a student.
I am sure we can reach our goal and show the nepalese all over the world that we really can make a difference!
Revival
Waiting for a new beginning
All proceeds for the charity run will go to Mahabir Pun's Himanchal Foundation. http://www.himanchal.org Himanchal Foundation is a non-profit corporation based in the US. The goal of the foundation is to support Himanchal High School in the remote village of Nangi, Nepal, a school that is a prototype for community-based educational development in rural areas. With help from volunteers all across the world, today the school supports grades K through 12, including a computer lab with Internet connnection. The foundation welcomes you to hear the story of their journey and stay connected with it in the future.
