Puja, a child supported by The Alain Rouveure Nepal Fund

Puja

Her mother works as a rickshaw driver and pleaded with the school to keep her safe. She is now bright, studious and worrying good at martial art.

Puja is the daughter of Rajendra and Rita from North East Nepal. She was admitted as a boarder with the first month of tuition paid on admission. The parents have never come back to visit their daughter since that day.

The father is a violent alcoholic and drug user. Puja’s mother works hard as a rickshaw driver in the city and cannot look after her child and has pleaded the directors to keep her safe at the school. She has been a full boarded ever since.

After a couple of difficult years during which she was withdrawn, Puja is now blossoming and growing in confidence. We can all see that the damage from her past has left traces but we are all, including her, working on the deep healing that will free her as an adult.

She is bright and very studious with great marks and results. A popular girl at our school, she loves music and gymnastic and is getting worrying good at martial art. She is a ray of sunshine.

They stay in school and remain healthy because someone keeps donating.

£84 a month covers a day student. £121 a month covers a boarder — including books, uniform and pencils. Alain pays his own travel, so nearly everything you give goes where you meant it.
