Tashi Waldorf School Fundraising Bulletin
Autumn 2008
Dear Friends,
This year Children of Nepal and Tashi Waldorf School started a bulletin to highlight our most important ndraising needs. In our second issue, we would like to introduce a few of the children attending Tashi Waldorf School who are in need of sponsorship.
One of our goals for the ninth year of Tashi Waldorf School is to find sponsors for the children who have joined us this spring. The following contains short profiles of some new students who currently need partial (one sponsor at $25 USD monthly/$300 annually) or full (two sponsors at $25 monthly or one sponsor at $50/$600 annually) sponsorship. More profiles can be found at www.childrenofnepal.org
