Rabin Awal lives in the village called Sarswotikhel near Thimi which is traditionally where farming were the main employment. The vegetables and rice are grown in the very fertile soil and the farmers get the early morning bus to sell their produce to the market in Kathmandu or to big hotels. There are two carpet factories in Thimi and the owners are doing their best to give workers a healthy environment to live in with medical aid when needed.

Your sponsorship allows Rabin to be educated in English, Maths, Science and Computer Studies and enables his to stay in education until his 15th birthday which is very important as sometimes in Nepal the child leaves school at 12 years of age to look after other siblings or grandparents and they therefore does not get the opportunity to have successful employment or go on to further education. Some of our children have already finished high school education and studying law, doctor, engineering and education.

As well as schooling we sponsor a Goat Project donating a goat to a family who are then able to mate it and create their own small herd of goats. They are able to sell the milk, cheese and meat giving them an income. We are very proud of our Nepalese culture and traditions and make sure that students participate in religious festivals and traditions wearing their traditional dress. We are proud that we are able to admit children with minor disabilities to our school and we work closely with the disabled school in Thimi. We are keen to look after our village and undertake projects like “Keep Thimi Tidy “ when our students went round the village collecting all rubbish, sweeping the streets and talking to people about environmental issue.

The annual sponsorship fee for grade two is $155 that would be required to educate a child. Not only does this sum pay for the child’s schooling but it also pays for a school uniform and their exercise books.

Our school works closely with the local health centre to improve health care and we are doing our best to improve conditions in the local carpet factories
