In 2005 I was in Nepal, Asia, where I did a 4-week trekking tour to Mount Everest Base Camp. My guide was a local man by the name of Nima Sherpa. We became close friends on the trip and I also met his family who were exceptionally kind to me. I stayed in touch with them after my return and then, 3 months ago, a very sad message reached me.

Nima Sherpa died after a bad altitude sickness. He is survived by his wife and two children. The 2 kids – his daughter Yangzee (9) and his son Ashish (12) go to an English-medium private school to ensure that they have a brighter future than their father did. But as a result of his death they can no longer afford their schooling. His widow now works at a local factory but her salary covers only the bare necessities.

My aspiration is to consolidate the future of Yangzee and Ashish. The school fees are 100 Euro per month. 1.300 Euro (1200 Euro school fee plus 100 Euro bank charges) covers a whole year.

If you have any questions just drop me a line and I will be more than happy to answer them. I will also constantly post news from the family on Betterplace as I'm in close contact with them.

Your small change can make a big difference to Nima Sherpa‘s family.

You are also more than welcome to forward this email to your friends.
Thanks for your time and interest.

Kindest regards,

Christopher

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Information about trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. (Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.)

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you - or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.
