DONATE NOW AND HELP SUPPORT CLCR IN SPONSORING A CHILD’S EDUCATION THROUGH THE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME CLCR, “Providing Opportunities Through Education”: Here’s Why Nepal is the third poorest country in the world and many of its children are often reduced to begging and living on the streets for means of survival. In many cases these children both have no access to a schooling facility nor can they afford to attend on a regular basis. Thus, in an effort to modify and support, CLCR looks to provide these children and the marginalized groups of Nepal with scholarship education and hostel accommodation opportunities through its school project, Heartland Children’s Academy (HCA). As little as $1 AUD per day is all it takes to educate a child at HCA and change a life. CLCR is currently working with and supporting two orphanage organizations set up within Kathmandu to outsource children from all over the country for scholarships at HCA. In providing student scholarships, CLCR is constantly on the look-out through its “Scholarship Outreach Team” in an effort to find individuals and organizations that are interested in student sponsorship at HCA. Please read on to find out how you can be involved in sponsoring a child and providing them with educational opportunities and a better chance at life through CLCR and the HCA school project. Here are some examples of the kind of tragic cases we look to provide for everyday through our student scholarship scheme at HCA. Meet Laxmi, she is currently 12 years of age. When she was nine years old she was physically abused which resulted in her suffering two broken legs and a broken arm. With no money for medical treatment her limbs were left to heal for themselves, thus resetting at bent unnatural angles. Because of this, walking is difficult and she is often confined to the ground for most of the day. She needs constant care and assistance for daily activities such as bathing and eating. This is a perfect example of the kind of child we at CLCR look to support through our student scholarship scheme at the HCA school project. Meet Bovindra, he is currently five years of age. Bovindra suffers from Autism and birth defects related to his mother’s alcoholism during pregnancy. He was found living on the streets of Kathmandu next to a rubbish heap, had limited ability to speak, no foreseeable source of food, education, accommodation or parental care. He is an orphan staying within one of the orphanages CLCR supports and he is a typical example of the kind of child CLCR looks to support through sponsors/ donors to its scholarship scheme with the HCA school project.
