Hope...

When the earthquake hit Nepal on 25th April 2015 a lot of children were displaced. Some lost their families and others with families had nothing to eat, no shelter and no school to go to. Koseli School Nepal - Hold A Hand started an online campaign to support the children displaced by the earthquake. Using the funds we have raised through our Indiegogo fundraising campaign, we are happy to report that we have admitted Dev Narayan, Nir Bahadur and Nirmala to Koseli School. (You will find their story shared underneath.) A big thank you to all our friends, volunteers and well wishers for supporting our initiative. We are trying to help as many earthquake displaced children at Koseli as we can and in the coming months we will induct more children. We will keep you posted about the progress. Please continue donating even if its a small amount as it will help us reach out to more and more children.

On May 1st, Tok Maya Shrestha, along with her children, Dev Narayan (10 years), Nir Bahadhur (8 years) and 2 girls, Nirmala (14 years) and Pramila (17 years) arrived in Kathmandu after the devastating earth

quake took away every bit of little possession they had in Sindupalchowk, Ghumthang VDC. With no place to live in, and no skills except farming, making a living in the city seems like a tough task for this family.
Given their dire situation, and using the funds we have raised through our Indiegogo fundraising campaign, we are happy to report that we have admitted Dev Narayan, Nir Bahadur and Nirmala to Koseli School. With the help of Praveena foundation, we are preparing Pramila for college studies!
