Educational Support in Nepal: Purni Tamang

In our continued commitment to support our partners in Nepal beyond business, Ganesh Himal Trading is sponsoring the education of Purni Tamang. We first met Purni while she was assisting her brother in carving slates to fulfill Ganesh Himal Trading’s orders. A bright young woman with lots of drive, Purni later moved to the office of our shipping partner Muktinath where she continues to work while attending university. Currently, Purni is attending Manmohan Memorial College in Kathmandu and studying in the four year Bachelor of Social Work program and recently she has started to contribute 25% of her earings to her tuition from her earnings. 

From Purni:

Namaste [Ganesh Himal Trading],

“For this opportunity, I am so gladful to you all. I appreciate your support, and I am in my final year of college, so that will greatly help me. After this year, I will only have practical work as a social worker for six months, which will be held in the village(where there is a lack of infrastructure). We coordinate with villagers, research, and make a report on it and I will cover 25% of my earnings. I will work hard in my final year and hope to use the skills to contribute to my village and help poor and needy people. You will always be in my heart.”
