At the current rate of exchange of approximately Rs. 98=US$1.00, the total cost amounts to US$45\/year as a 3nd<\/sup> grader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he has just four more months in 3rd<\/sup> grade. Academic year in Nepal runs from mid-April to the beginning of April the following year. That means, he\u2019ll need support for at least the next 7 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of the 2014-15 academic year, Samir had difficulties coming to school. He has apparently moved to Kathmandu to be with his dad. We are no longer supporting his education. Instead, we are supporting Anju Biswakarma in his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
