Student Society Sponsors a Child
The 2008-2009 R.Y.I. Student Society utilized $140 from their yearly budget to sponsor Washna Phelwar in Grade School, Class I. The sponsorship will cover her school fees, uniform, books, and other school supplies for one year. Washna lives in the beggar village south of Boudha and this is the first time she has ever been able to attend school. James Hopkins, the creator of the Quilts for Kids project that made sponsoring Washna possible, says she is very excited to begin school. Washna’s little brother is now very curious about school and would like to attend as well. If you know anyone who would like to sponsor him or another child from the Boudha begging village, please email either StudentServices@shedra.org or James Hopkins at lookingforjames@yahoo.com.
