Thanks so much for helping to provide a permanent classroom for kids including Ranjita.
Ranjita 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.
Ranjita 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.
After the earthquake Ranjita and her family moved to stay with family members 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.
Also, because of the damage to the school Ranjita and her classmates have been forced to learn in a hot, uncomfortable temporary classroom. This was further damaging Ranjita’s future by denying her a quality education. Ranjita 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, Ranjita and her classmates will be able to move into a beautiful new permanent classroom as soon as possible.This will give Ranjita back her future, and her dreams.
We’ll send you updates about how your gift is changing the lives of Ranjita 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 Ranjita and her friends back their education.
