Wishing you Safe Holidays from NCEF!

December 7, 2021

Dear friends:

It is our pleasure to share with you that our work in Nepal is back to normal. The students are back in school. The teachers and volunteers continue to create impacts by enabling our mission to create opportunities for the financially disadvantaged students through a gift of education.

We now support 119 students in Nepal. The financial assistance allows the students to attend schools, obtain needed supplies, and an opportunity to interact with our volunteers. The students had a challenging year last year and are eager to catch up and move forward in their educational journey.

We support expanding opportunities to different places and people. Our commitment to support students from all parts of Nepal, including outside of urban areas continues this year. Among our supported students are students with disabilities, who would have found it difficult to stay in school without our support. Our students come from Sunsari, Nepalgunj, Lamjung, Sankhuwasabha, Nawalparasi, and Gorkha. We are proud to be supporting students all over Nepal.

Recovery from COVID19 continues at a rapid pace but there is much catching up to do. The schools are back in operation at full capacity with in-person instruction. Many students lost significant learning opportunities last year, especially the students with no resources, skills, and devices for remote learning. The students have much catching up to do and we are there to help.

We plan for expanded work next year. It was our goal to increase the number of financial assistance after the pandemic and we took a major step towards that goal by having the largest class size in our history. We expect to further increase the number of students receiving our financial support for next year.

We rely on your generous financial support to make this work possible. Our goal is to continue providing financial assistance and support to our students until they complete their high school education. Long-term commitment is at the core of our mission.

This holiday season, please consider sending the gift of education to these children in Nepal. You can donate online at https://www.nepalchildren.org/donation.html or send a check to:

Nepalese Children’s Education Fund

PO Box 380061

Cambridge, MA 02238-0061

USA

As long as you mail your check by December 31, 2021, it will count towards donations for tax year 2021. NCEF is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and has no salaries or office expenses, so each child benefits directly from your donation.

Wishing you a good holiday season,

Omprakash Gnawali

CEO, NCEF

From everyone here at NCEF we would like to wish all our donors, volunteers, students, and executives the happiest of holidays this season. It has been our great pleasure to share with you the successes and developments of 2021 with regards to all the hard work done by the NCEF community. Throughout the year, these newsletters have shared exactly the kind of wonderful opportunities made available to our students and their communities. Without the generosity of donors such as yourselves, this amazing work would not be possible. On behalf of our students and the entire NCEF family, we wish you very happy holidays and a wonderful New Year. Thank you for all that you do!
