New
Drinking Water
Letter of Solicitation:
June 6,
2017
Dear
Friends,
We're
writing you to let you know of a new
project that we are putting together
for our friends and family in Nepal.
We know you are well aware of the
devastation from the earthquakes and
the emergency housing we provided along
with food, with your assistance.
We are so grateful for your help.
So many people now have shelter in the
“countryside.”
The government in Nepal has yet to provide
anything to anyone up
in the countryside since the earthquake.
Everything they have has come by donations
from people like you.
We are reaching out again, because there
is no drinking water anywhere,
and hasn't been any for a long time.
Our project will cost $6,000 and provide
water for the people (family and friends)
who live far from the city.
We can't do this alone.
We appreciate anything you could send
towards this project.
We know there are many charities that need
help around the world and
our hearts go out to all of them as well.
Thank you for considering to help us out.
You can send checks to A Child's Life
Foundation,
which is our non-profit for helping our
orphans who have all, except two,
graduated from high school, we are proud to say.
The last two will graduate shortly.
We could not have helped all these
children without you.
You may also choose to Donate on
our website: www.achildslife-nepal.org.
However, it
is better if you send checks, because we
get to use all the money
for the project, instead of what remains
after the percentage taken out by PayPal.
You may send your checks to:
A Child's Life Foundation, 1626
Fletcher Street, Hollywood, FL
33020
We are able to deposit your checks
immediately into an account
that can be accessed in Nepal.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank
you.
Kamala,
Krishna, Shoshana,
and the
rest of us at A Child's Life Foundation

Smile
Nepal project
concentrates its efforts on the children
in the brick kilns.
The project plans to
give children a formal school education
that complies with the curriculum of the
Government of Nepal.
We will also offer them the opportunity
to be trained as photo journalists.
The purpose is to enable
the children to document their lives as
child laborers in the brick yards.
This will lend great
insight to their plight. Until now
different organizations have raised the
issues and problems of child laborers,
but none of them have been very
effective in solving their problems,
because they are “outsiders.”
They do not have the
insider's view of the poverty and
conditions surrounding the children. The
children and adults of these brick kiln
communities are unable to express their
problems and feelings properly.
This is the first
project of its kind in Nepal. As a
result, we hope to achieve a truer
picture of the child laborer's life. We
believe that this is a more effective
way of finding a sustainable solution to
the problem of child labor.
Vision
for Smile
Nepal
Smile Nepal plans to raise
funds to purchase and develop at least 3
acres of land in a residential
neighborhood like Bhaktapur or Lalitpur
in the following ways:
- Build a family home
for the children
 .
- Build a school for
the children who live here as well
as offer schooling for the community
children.
- Create and organic
garden--teach the children
agricultural skills.
- Raise farm
animals for use in the family
home--for milk, ghee, and meat as
well as using the methane by-product
of the animals as a bio fuel.
- Build a
library--for the school and the
community as a lending library.
- Build a guest
house for volunteers--volunteer
teachers will get credits by working
at the school in an exchange
program. Volunteers will also be
invited to work in the garden and
other areas of the compound doing
repairs.
- Set up a studio
room--here the students learn to
create their own films concerning
social issues in their country.
The vision is to
create a self-sustainable community as
a model for other family homes for
needy children without families and
other children from the neighboring
community.
These children be
able to go to school, learn life
skills, and empower their lives
through education on many levels.
