Dear Donors,

This is a latest field update for the project loved and donated by you: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/send-girls-to-higher-secondary-school-with-a-cycle-gift/reports/ Details & Photographs below:

On 17^th of March, 2020, when the world all over is panicking due to Covid-19 coronavirus, we Janaki Women Awareness Society (JWAS) in support of your donations gifted 30 bicycles to 30 high school girls of Shree Secondary School, Judibela, Chandrapur, Rautahat, Nepal. As the virus spread was in initial phase and Nepal has yet not declared lockdown this came as a reason to smile amid the world wide Covid-19 pandemic as just after the gifting event Nepal government also declared lockdown following other countries in the world. With this lot of gifting ceremony we have already reached to 480 high schools girls of various schools in southern Nepal. And this would not have been possible without your generous support for each bicycles we gift to the girls. We expect your continuous support to reach to at least a 1000 girls who are in threat of quitting the schools and getting married earlier by their families.

Please do write to us with your feedback and feel free to contact us for further information and any other details.

Again thank you for your generosity.
