Small Corner of the World, Inc. hasn't added a story.
I'm Matthew Whiteman, and I'm an English teacher in Nepal. I taught for two and a half years at Shree Risti Bikash English Boarding School in Sotipasal, Lamjung, Nepal. For over three years, we've been helping to pay for the education of untouchable, female and poor students at Shree Risti Bikash.
At 11:56 AM on Saturday, April 25, 2015, Nepal suffered a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter just 29.6 miles from Sotipasal. One of our scholarship students, Suman, lost his home when it collapsed that day. He is the youngest of six, and his parents--being sustenance farmers--don't have the funds to rebuild their home--they've been living in a tent since the earthquake.
We're raising money so that Suman's family can rebuild their home. By Western standards, the meagre $500 needed to rebuild is nothing, but for average Nepalese Nevillagers, like Suman's parents, it would take years of saving. Whatever you can give to help Suman's family rebuild their home would be greatly appreciated.
Nepalese are known for their resilience--they will overcome the struggle presented by the earthquakes they have suffered--but we have the opportunity to help...I know we can.
Anything that goes beyond what is necessary to rebuild Suman's home will be used to buy supplies for those suffering as a result of the devastation.
