Sarmila and her recent update

Sarmila is developing into a very kind and mature young lady. She has recently completed Grade 9 and now upgraded to Grade 10.She studies in Moon Light Boarding School. This is the final year of schooling. This year she will give SLC (School Leaving Certificate) examination that is why she has got extra classes in the school. She goes to school early and comes back late. So far we are happy with her achievement and wish her all the best. After SLC, she will be joining college.

Sarmila is a very sociable girl currently living with her Aunt. Sadly she has a very troubled family which often hampers her study. After going though such a troubled life she is much stronger and wants to achieve something in life so that she can live alone and be independent in life. My Small Help has been helping Sarmila both morally and in financially. We really hope Sarmila will do well in her studies and her life.

Sarmila is very much thankful for all your help.

After completing college, Jyoti and Reshna join work with other friends.

We would like to wish you Jyoti and Reshna all the best for your next step in your future career. You have made us proud. We will always be there to help and assist you in coming days.

Jyoti and Reshna both have completed Intermediate in Commerce. After number of test, both were appointed as a grade teacher in St. Mary's School, Gorkha. They are joining with other friends, Anjali, Kalpana and Anila. They will live in the school and will be teaching student. This is the great opportunity for both of them to learn and to become an experience teacher. We wish them all the best.

Urgent Earthquake Relief Appeal

Dear Friends of MySmallHelp,
As you may know, MySmallHelp has  worked in Nepal for nearly 9 years. Even before the first quake, half of  Nepal´s 28 million population lived below the poverty line. Now the country is in more need than ever.

"More than 8000 people were killed in the first devastating earthquake in Nepal on April 25th" (Quartz, India) "Hundreds of thousands of people need urgent assistance now" (Oxfam UK)



Sitting in front of our screens we are bombarded by horrific images of a land far away, which may have no relevance in our lives.  But the people of Nepal have been touched directly by the power of nature and are currently in a state of shock.. Fear that their lives may soon be taken...
"Quake just came, I thought today is my last day on earth, cried alot and prayed a lot." - Anita, the inspiration for MySmallHelp.

Soon after the second quake on 12th May, I was contacted by a good Nepali friend of mine. He told me "Sister I love you but I think this is the end.. I will see you in my next life.."
If you would like to give to a small charity that wants to help the children, families and their communities that it has been working with for the past 9 years then please consider donating to Nepal through MySmallHelp.

Our team on the ground are currently focusing on emergency food distribution and analysing the situation of the sponsored children and their families to finalise the long term strategy for the rebuild.
Please DONATE and help us to help Nepal.  Your small help can make a huge difference.



If you have already made a donation to another organization you can still help by sharing this Just Giving page to your social networking sites.

If you would like to join the MySmallHelp team of volunteers to help with the fundraising and coordination of the relief efforts please contact leander.hollings@mysmallhelp.org
Many thanks for reading this if you got this far!
Much love

Leander Hollings &
The MySmallHelp Team
