Mohanpur School Visit

   I met Anita today! She is a spunky, brave 14 year old that has a contagious giggle and a gorgeous spirit. She is a   ENG scholarship girl. She is living away from her family in this village and dreams of being a computer engineer. 
This school is a very poor government school and the young English teacher shared that most of the children come from the “slum dog” area by the river. 

The primary school building was very old and was damaged by the earthquake. The gov has provided about 50%of the funds needed to rebuild.they need everything. The children don’t even have money for pencils and they have trouble keeping them in school after around 10 or 11 years old. Many of the children go to school from9-4 and then go to work for other families starting at age 6 or 7. No time for reading or homework. Life is so difficult for so many children. ENG will fulfill their wish by contributing to building and providing a resource room. I wish we could give them so much more but I’m thankful we can help in some small way.
