We, here at NSP, hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family and gratitude. In Nepal there was a celebration called Dashain and it is a celebration of family. It is a very important holiday to them.

Our NSP family both in Nepal and Canada have been busy gearing up for our next project in an area called Deupal Boran. It is a fresh water installation project and is scheduled to be completed over the next 3 years. 
In the first phase, we will build a reservoir.
The second phase will install plastic pipe over a distance of 16 km from a fresh water source high in the hills. 
The third phase will bring taps to houses across the hillside villages. 
Each phase will cost $7000.00 CDN The first phase is starting this fall after the monsoon.. The total cost is approximately $21,000.00 CDN.
​Earlier this year, we applied to and received a $5,000.00 grant from the Elementary Teachers Fund of Ontario (ETFO) which we will apply to the cost of the reservoir. Fundraising will hopefully allow us to reach our total annual goal and finish the project.
As you are well aware the competition for your charitable donation dollars has become increasingly challenging. As I was reminded today by one our long time supporters, NSP is still totally made up of volunteers and donations go directly to the people of the villages. NSP is truly grass roots.
We are planning to launch our next fundraising campaign in November. Please consider Nepal School Projects. We really need you.

Samjhana is our newest Student scholarship recipient. She is now studying in Australia. We are very proud of her! 
Dear Fran maam namaste, 
I am very glad to hear from you. I hope you and Murray sir are doing well there. How are things there? Today was the first day of my class . I was a little excited and nervous but  it turned out well. I made some new friends. I am getting used to everything here. I also went for a work trial in a restaurant  and I got hired .It's been like two days since I started working . Everything is going well here. It may get challenging to manage time with work studies at first but I am sure I will overcome all the challenges in upcoming days. The letter is for the NSP website. I will keep writing to you. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Sending lots of love for you and Murray sir. 
Take care, Stay healthy, Yours sincerely 
Samjhana Ghalan
