Being an international lions member, I was able to cooperate with Crookston International Lions Club to help with a project. We didnot come up with specific name for the project, but we called it, "Helping children of Mustang." I did presentation about Mustang, especially focusing on the education and children during one of the Lions weekly meeting. My purpose for the presentation was to give awareness to the other part of the world the situation and system of education in Nepal, especially in the remote area and the life of children. I asked the Lions to help me with this project as the Lions were also very eager to help these children of Mustang. So, during every weekly meeting, every Lions members contributed something for the project either socks, toothbrush, books and money. My sincere grattitude goes to Jeannine Windel (District governor of Lions, Crookston), Laurie Wilson (Lions member) and all the other members who contributed so much to this project. So, finally Lions were able to collect 90 Pairs of Socks, 40-50 tooth brushes, Books and $300 for the children of Mustang. My uncle Gyaltso Gurung will be visiting the government schools of Lomanthang in Pokhara for their winter session, so he will be giving the stuff to the chidren and send me some pictures and a letter of appreciation to Crookston Lions Club!!!

First project of helping children of Lomanthang!
WIth the help of Sister Groups from Crookston, MN and Mustang Samaj of New York City and motivations from friends, i was able to see one of my dream coming true. With a great encoragement from a friend, i was able to collect for a fund from Mustang Samaj with the amount of $520 and $150 from RARA Group of Jackson Height, NY. I spent $480 on shipping to Nepal. And now i have a balance of $190, which i saved for future use. It was so rewarding to do these all, even though it took some time, dedication, and hard work. BUT the satisfaction and happiness one get from helping others is the BEST..And i hope from this very small project, others can be part of serving others. For all this project, I would like to thank Sister Group, Mustang Samaj, RARA Group, Tashi Bista and Yangchen Dolker....for all their help, support and motivation...
