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!!!
