Day Students Desperately Seeking Sponsors

These children are in school now. Most are 'day boarders', which means they come to us 7 days a week, every day of the year, from 7 AM until 7 PM. We do this because we have no more room to take boarders, yet the only chance these children have for education is SMD. All we ask is that they sleep somewhere else, we do everything else (3 meals a day + a snack, clothes, baths, healthcare, haircuts, etc.)  because the families can't afford to care for them. We stretch the amount for Day students to cover "day boarding" costs.

D108 Nyima Yangzom Bhote Girl 4 years

Nyima is Sherpa. Her dad died on K2, on a rich people's climb. We have a number of Sherpa kids whose dads have died on these climbs. People pay up to $60,000 apiece for licenses to climb these mountains. Sherpas climb to feed their kids. When they die, most often their families are left to fend
for themselves. Nyima Yangzom couldn't go to school if we hadn't taken her.
