Story

I met Anita in Nepal during my traveling in Asia, and had three months to spend in Nepal. I am on a really low budget travel, having money only for food, and I couldn't really afford living in hostels for long time. By a friend I got the contact of a  MySmallHelp member, and he was helping me a lot by giving me a place to live in their office. Here I was living with two girls of my age. They welcomed me so well, they were like mother for me. For living, they are teaching in school as both of them finished their Bachelor in Social Science. The salaries they earn are just enough for food, but not enough to bear all the expenses. One of the girl is Anita Gurung.

Anita's parents left her when she was little, and as she being the 6th in the siblings, they couldn't take care of her for unknown reason. Luckily she got rescued by MySmallHelp and got educated. Now she is 24, and had to go out from MySmallHelp which has to care about other children too. As a Christian girl without parents, she is not in a good situation to get married in Nepal where love marriage are rare, which most of the time the family will take a central place in the decision. Her only hope is only by education. Hence she really wants to make a Master Degree in Social Science.

She once applied for Master Degree in local colleges, sadly they were rejected because because of financial problem to pay for the fees. Today, thanks to mySmallHelp, she is having the opportunity to go studying in India, for USD6000 (including the accommodation). We need your help to fulfil her dream by sending her to study in this school.

Now she is trying to collect the money by selling handmade cards in Nepal, but due to the currency differences, it may take longer time! Any small gifts are welcome! Thank you in advance.
