Bikram Rai

 

Thanks to contributions from members of the congregation we are sending a check this month to pay for the fourth year of private school for Bikram Rai in Nepal. We raised most of the $165 in tuition that it takes to send Bikram to a private school through the pop can collection downstairs. The last $70 needed came from our most recent noisy offering. What we collected during the Feb. 5th 2006 noisy offering is go towards Bikram’s fifth year of schooling.

When we started paying annual tuition for him, Bikram was only 7 and had never been to school. His most recent report card is probably the best we’ve seen so far and shows he has good attendance. It’s posted on the Church School bulletin board of the social hall, along with recent drawings he made for us and pictures of himself and his classmates. While Nepal’s recent civil war disrupted some parts of the country, the schools that the ANSWER program supports, like Bikram’s, haven’t been damaged by the conflict.
