"Hi my name is Anushka and I represent the Rose
International Fund for Children. The organization supports children and adults
with disabilities. These embroidered cards are made by women with deafness in Nepal.
Each card I sell provides them an opportunity to earn a
living and support our programs in Nepal.
They cost $3.00 each or 4 cards for $10.00
How many would you like to buy?"
Anushka Varma is 11 years old and with her Mom, Anshu have been
knocking on doors around their neighborhood in Renton and spreading the idea
that a simple purchase of a handmade card by a woman with deafness can make a
big difference in someone's life specially when they are living with a
disability in a country that has very
limited to no social service support at all.
They began selling as soon
as school was out in June! By July, she had raised $250.00 and this is going into
the fund for sponsoring a little girl named Shreejana entering kindergarten. Shreejana is developmentally challenged and
lives with her parents in Banepa, Nepal.
Well done Anushka! All the best as you enter 5th grade at Apollo Elementary!
If you are interested in community hours, starts selling embroidered cards made by TRIFC Deaf Women's Cooperative!
