Bettering Lives in Puranokot, Nepal

Thanks to the support of Heritage Internet Technologies employees, many great things are happening in Nepal. The children below live in the village of Puranokot and because of the donations received, they have been given academic scholarships. These children were hand selected because of their high marks in school. Education is the first step in these children's lives to carve out a better future for themselves, their families and their community.

Bishnu, the Nepal In-Country Director, is a perfect example of the power of education. He has become a leader in Nepal and a catalyst for change only because years ago someone saw his talent and offered him the opportunity of a great education. You can imagine how excited he is to witness other children experience the same opportunity.

Ramesh Gurung, eleven years old, used to skip school when his widowed mother could not manage the school's fee.	Rasmita Gurung willingly walks one and a half hours each way to attend school. She has an interest in writing poems and songs.
Dambar Gurung is a very intelligent student. His parents value education but struggle sending all 5 of their children to school.	Ek Bahadur, twelve years old, is at the top of his class and has secured the 1st position in the third grade.
