The 2013-2014 school year began in Nepal in the third week of April, and Shenpen Education brought on two new children under its school sponsorship program, making a total of 21 children receiving some school sponsorship funding. Nineteen of these children are funded by C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal (UK), and two through private donations. These students range from Nursery to Class 9, and attend one of 6 schools in the valley.

Shenpen is approached on a regular basis with requests to help fund a child's education. Shenpen Education developed guidelines to assess the need of a family for support and evaluates each case yearly. However, Shenpen Education is also committed to continue with education support once we take on a sponsorship and if the family situation hasn't changed significantly.
On average US $30 /month pays for a child’s education in Nepal up to class 10.

Volunteer Foundation Nepal (VFN), or "Papa's Home," is a home located in Sanepa, not far from the Bagmati River. Currently 19 children live in this home with a husband and wife and two support staff caring for them. Besides preparing food for the children in his home, Mr. Lalit, VFN founder, also prepares daily food for the street boys in Boudha.

The funding from Shenpen Street Children pays for six month's food and is supported by funds from C.H.A.N.C.E. for Nepal (UK).

Shenpen has benefited over 3,000 people and 1,000 dogs in their work in 2012 and 2013 alone. Shenpen depends on donations from people such as yourself that support the projects we monitor in the areas of Health, Education, Street Children, The Elderly, Animals, and Skills Training for women in Nepal. This month we are highlighting Shenpen Education. Since most of our readers enjoy a summer full of fun and joy, please consider sharing your joy with a child, adult, or animal in Nepal by making a donation to one of our projects.
