 Rama Raut, EFF's first graduated student, hurraayyyyy!
Our first, by EFF supported student, Rama Raut is since Februari officially graduated in her Master Social Work. Rama is now 26 years old and comes from Janakpur (Terai), but is already living in Kathmandu since 15 years. Rama is supported by EFF for 5 years and has always grabbed this opportunity with both hands.Now she already found a job in GeMSIP (Gender Mainstreaming and Social Inclusion project ), a project supported by a big Japanese developing organization JICA., where she is learning and enjoying a lot every day. She herself is very grateful for the help she received and finds it even hard to express her gratitude:
'All that I have achieved is only possible with the help of EFF. So I would like to thank to all the EFF family from bottom of my heart. It won't be possible to finish my study in master level without their support. Especially I am very much thankful for Rene Veldt, the director of EFF for his inspiration during my study, the lady's from Inherwheel in Arnhem for the financial support and the entire SVN members for their cooperation toward me.'
To give even more children a chance to become independent and live a worthwhile life like Rama, they also need education. The new school year is coming up and there are always more children in the need of EFF's support who are now on our waiting list.

 Suman Tamang, 7 years of age suffers from Cerebral Palsy Disease (CP) by birth. He used to live with his old mother and father but they had no idea what to do with their child, so they let him on the streets when they were working. His father and mother had low income and they were unable to feed and take proper care of Suman.
Suman was unable to walk and even needed help to crawl. His health condition was also really bad due to unhygienic food and settlement. Education First Foundation (EFF) in support of SVN found him in a very miserable condition. EFF decided to enroll him in their programme and he was admitted to A Genuine Effort Group Nepal (AGE Nepal), an organization where CP children are looked after. In this organization he now lives with the help from SVN and the Dorcas shop in a good environment and he is doing well at AGE Nepal.
Before Suman was unable to even crawl but now he can already walk with support of teachers and he can sit in a stool on his own which is great achievement! Teachers of AGE Nepal are also very happy to see his great progress compared to other students.
Still his home situation is very miserable. If he would a get proper living environment at home as well he would improve even more. But at least, EFF now gives him a chance to develop positively through the help of AGE Nepal!
And all of this with the help of the Dorcas family, their help works! We still have many more children on our waiting list, who are in need of education. Is this maybe something for you, or the company you work at, to help a poor child going to school?
Then please let us know, you can write to:

One of the SVN staff members ran into Sunil while visiting his home in Chitwan. The father of the boy passed away years ago and the mother had left to find work abroad. Sunil was moved around between several family members until the grandfather finally took care of the abandoned boy. The man was old and could not properly look after the boy so asked for help. Sunil was admitted in a boarding school, near to his home village. It was agreed with the family that he can come and visit them during the holidays. The boy is performing well on school and remained in close contact with his grand father.

Yashoda was living in the Sindupalchok district. She is the youngest of a big family of which none of the children had the chance to go to school. Yashoda is visually disabled, which means she need special supportto follow any kind of education. The parents are in no position to offer anything like that and therefore asked for help. After a donor was found, Yashoda was admitted to the Laboratory school in Kirtipur in August 2008. This school specializes in providing education to children that are blind or visually challenged. Yashoda is performing well at the moment and seems happy with her new situation. |

We met Arjun while visiting a school on which other scholarship children were admitted. The principal of the school pointed out Arjun and expressed his concerns about the boy. According the man, Arjun lived a long way from school and had to walk every day. Through Arjun, we managed to make an appointment with his mother. During the meeting she admitted that the boy had to walk 1,5 hour to the school every day and 1,5 hour back. Even though he tried, Arjun did not have the energy to make his homework after that and therefore was falling behind. The reason for going to this school was the offer of the principal that he could study for free. Arjun has been admitted in the scholarship program and since April 2008, he is joining a school 10 minutes away from his house. The daily 2 hours and 40 minutes extra are more than enough to finish his homework and his results are good, and so are his legs!
