At irregular intervals, Laxmi, often accompanied by BK, employees of Narighar or some of the Kusunti children, visits our scholarship children. Recently, it was the turn of “our” students at the Balmikishwor School in Baktapur. Here we support 12 students*.
Attendance at the government schools is free of charge in Nepal, but parents still have to pay the expenses for school uniforms, books, exercise books, etc. Laxmi and her crew have therefore distributed new school backpacks, pens, notebooks and other things to our group of students to save the families these expenses.
* plus an additional scholarship from a friend of Laxmi
