To provide children a sense of limitless possibility to be the hope of tomorrow through educational opportunity. " We believe together we can make a difference" - Mrs Sina Tanner
MEI is an organization where a second chance is provided to those who have lost hopes and dreams in their life due to the vicious circle of poverty. Give a dollar a day to impact a needy child's life. - Hira Lama
MEI was successful to start MEI School's new session on a regular basis like another school on the 1st of June 2022. Now, MEI School is on the smooth flow under the management of Dr Draupati Tamang (Volunteer) acting as Principal and Himala Rai Vice Principal and the other remaining 5 teachers and 3 staff are local. Now, MEI School has been an oasis to deliver quality education to MEI children and the local children on a paid basis.
On December 1st, MEI starts the school building project and completes it by the end of April for the new session of 2022-23. MEI completes the school building projects with a total cost of Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000) along with the school bus and classroom setup. The funds were arranged by MEI, Sina Tanner, Hira Lal Tamang, Manjita Tamang, Jotsna Tamang and local partner Gokul Pradhan.
MEI President Mrs Sina Tanner donated to MEI School for the construction of the MEI School building on her 50th birthday. And, MEI School's block will be named after her "Sina's Primary School"
We do everything with faith, hard work, and sincerity! We believe together; We can make a difference!
I have been supporting MEI with conviction for several years. I am always impressed by the perseverance and passion that the project leaders put into realizing their visions. It is great to see how the newly opened school in Thori is filled with life. I wish MEI continued success and all the best. ***************************************************************************** Ich unterstütze MEI seit mehreren Jahren mit Überzeugung. Ich bin immer wieder beeindruckt von der Beharrlichkeit und der Leidenschaft, die die Projektverantwortlichen in die Umsetzung ihrer Visionen stecken. Es ist schön zu sehen, wie die neu eröffnete Schule in Tori mit Leben gefüllt wird. Ich wünsche MEI weiterhin viel Erfolg und alles Gute.
I've been sponsoring for a few years at Maya Education Initiatives. And, with my donation, I'm giving two children the opportunity to go to school. The photos I receive regularly basis give me a good feeling again and again. I am so happy to see how proud the children are to be schoolchildren how good it is for them to get lunch regularly, and how well the organization looks for every single girl or boy. Seeing in their faces is not only a place to learn, but it is also a safe place where children can just be children. Thanks to Sina, Hiralal, Govinda, the teacher and the whole MEI team for their never-ending engagement. ************************************************************************************************* Ich bin nun schon seit einigen Jahren Patin bei Maya Education Initiatives. Mit meiner Spende ermögliche ich zwei das zwei Kinder zur Schule zu gehen. Die Fotos, die ich regelmäßig erhalte, bestätigen mein gutes Gefühl immer wieder. Es macht mich so glücklich zu sehen, wie stolz die Kinder sind, "Schulkinder" zu sein, wie gut es ihnen tut, regelmäßig ein Mittagessen zu bekommen, zu sehen, wie gut sich die Organisation um jedes einzelne Mädchen und jeden einzelnen Jungen kümmert. In ihren Gesichtern zu sehen, dass es nicht nur ein Ort zum Lernen ist, sondern auch ein sicherer Ort, an dem Kinder einfach Kinder sein können. Danke an Sina, Hiralal, Govinda, die Lehrer/innen und das gesamte MEI-Team für ihr unermüdliches Engagement.
MEI organization was introduced to me in 2016. I liked it right away because school education is made possible for children in a remote region and this is through a lot of responsible volunteer work. This means that the donations and sponsorships go directly to the children and do not flow into administrative work! The sponsors are informed about how the children are doing, what is being worked on and what the future plans are. In the past six years, an amazing amount has been made possible in addition to the school lessons: a library, the construction of a school building, a school bus, and support for the families during the lockdown period. I am always very happy to hear about the children and to see photos of them - to accompany them growing up from a distance. ********************************************************************************** Die Organisation MEI wurde mir 2016 vorgestellt. Sie war mir auf Anhieb sympathisch, weil einerseits für Kinder in einer entlegenen Region Schulbildung ermöglicht wird und dies durch viel verantwortungsvolle Freiwilligenarbeit. Das heisst, die Spenden und Patenschaften kommen direkt den Kindern Zugute und fliessen nicht in Verwaltungsarbeit! Trotzdem wird den Pat innen und Paren berichtet, wie es den Kindern geht, woran gearbeitet wird und wie es um zukünftige Pläne steht. In den vergangen sechs Jahren wurde neben dem Schulunterricht erstaunlich viel möglich: eine Bibliothek, der Bau eines Schulhauses, ein Schulbus, Unterstützung der Familien während der Lockdownzeit. Mich freut es jeweils sehr, über die Kinder zu hören und Fotos von Ihnen zu sehen - ein Stückweit ihr Aufwachsen aus der Ferne zu begleiten.
