Simply providing access to education is not enough, and we are constantly trying to find cost-effective and innovative ways to teach. WIth that in mind, we have begun to pilot Khan Academy courses at one of our partner schools. Ms. Manisha KC has taken the lead with this program. Thank you Ms. Manisha.

| While students in the US return back to school after a summer break, the girls of Rukmini Foundation are finishing up the first term of their school year. They have been busy studying for and taking exams. While this may not sound too exciting, it is something most of these girls cherish the opportunity to be able to do, and we are proud of how hard they are working to do well in school.

| October is almost upon us, and that means it is time for our anniversary event. This year, we are very fortunate to have Mad Mex hosting our anniversary event through their Benefits Dinner program. Come join us to celebrate 2 successful years as an organization! Food, drinks, fun, and a chance to see the strides we have made in such a short time. Besides dinner and drinks, we will have presentations about our programs in Nepal and plans for the rest of the year and beyond.
Tickets are $40 and will give you access to a buffet of Mad Mex delectables: chips and salsa, salad, wings, a selection of entrees, dessert and a Dos Equis draft or house margarita. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds goes directly to the Rukmini Foundation!
You can purchase your tickets through our website here |
