Thanks so much for helping to provide a permanent classroom for Bupana.

Bupana originally comes from Sindhupalchok district, an area north east of Kathmandu that was one of the hardest hit by the earthquakes. Her family’s home was completely destroyed by the disasters.

Bupana recalls the complete chaos and fear that enveloped everyone in the area. The scale of death and destruction that she witnessed is obviously hard to put into words. Basic provisions of food and water were severely affected, adding to the emotional stress.

Bupana and her family now live in a tent in Bhaktapur and she is currently attending the Shree Bhim Adarsha School.

But even here the horrors of the earthquake are not far away. Her new school was also damaged and this serves as a constant reminder of the earthquake that destroyed her home.

Because of the damage to her school Bupana and her classmates were forced to learn in a hot, uncomfortable temporary classroom. This was further damaging Ranjita’s future by denying her a quality education. Bupana wants to be a teacher herself when she grows up but without a quality education these dreams would have been lost!

But now because of your generosity, Bupana and her classmates will soon be moving into a beautiful new permanent classroom.This will give Bupana back her future, and her dreams. Thank you so much for making this life changing event possible!

We’ll send you updates about how your gift is changing the lives of Bupana and her classmates, right here on GlobalGiving. Should you ever have any questions about how we’re using your donation, please don’t hesitate to email Andy@IDVolunteers.org. We’d love to hear from you!

One last time, thanks so much for giving Bupana and her friends back their education.
