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/fundraising_2008-autumn-x_view.html

All child sponsors receive an introduction package that includes the child’s photo, biography and ethnic back-ground, and two pieces of artwork. Every June child sponsors receive an update on their child with a recent photo, two more pieces of artwork and a progress report written by the child’s teacher. Please let us know if you would like to become a child sponsor. We thank all of you very much for your continued support of Tashi Waldorf School.
With gratitude and kind wishes,
Rachel Amtzis
