Cool News about Nepal Graduates!

All eight students with disability from DNC (Disabled Newlife Centre) who took their 'gateway' exam- the SLC (School Leaving Certificate) have passed in first division! Bishnu graduated with distinction! We are all so proud of this bright young group. Now, we need to find sponsors to help fund their higher education. Two are already sponsored, but we need to find sponsors for six more. The yearly cost is $650 per student which will cover their school fees and books. Please contact me if you are interested in helping. -Robert Rose

Singing With An Inner Voice...

Rabindra.m4v Watch on Posterous

Rabindra is a blind student in class 8 at the Sanjiwani School in Dhulikhel, Nepal. He has a keen sense of humor and a great attitude. We spent several afternoons with him and the other 13 blind/visually-impaired children at the school. On our last visit there all of the children sang a song for us. Many of the kids had very beautiful voices but Rabindra's was mesmerizing. After I heard the talent in those kids I decided to try to start up a music program for them. TRIFC.org is now funding a music teacher (who is also blind) to visit once a week and work with the kids on their music skills! These types of projects - small, but high-impact are made possible by our donors. Please consider contributing to our efforts at www.trifc.org
