why my buddy matt is
buying a busfor his birthday!
This is my buddyMatt Madeiro
he told me aboutMaggie Doyne
he told me aboutMaggie Doyne(We’ll come back to Matt in a moment)
wanted to seemaggie doyne
the world...
so at age19she did just that
hopped a plane...
so at age19she did just that
flew 20,000 miles...
so at age19she did just that
so at age19she did just that
and found herself
in nepal
just trying to survive
she met hundreds of
children
then...
she went home.
and for most travelers...
that memorythat experience
that event
that experiencewould be enough.
but maggie went back...
to make a difference!
for 40 of those childrenshe built a home
and two years later...
she openedthe Kopila Valley Primary school
for 300 students from all over Nepal
This school is the one and only opportunity for an educationmost of these children have.
It’s a safe house from the harsh realities of life in Nepal.
Then Matt told meMaggie and her students need help
Many of these students
walk hours each way just to get to school...
and Where they walk is not always safe.
“How far do they have to walk?”I asked.
Laxmi Karki’s daily round trip:
Nisha Bakabal’s daily round trip:
5 hours
2 hours
I was speechless.
which brings us back to...
