To Whom It May Concern:
A small group of students from Quabbin Regional High School are taking part in a worthy humanitarian effort called Project Nepal. For the past three years these students have been corresponding with students from Bhanu High School which is located in the small village of Bandipur, in Nepal.
Quabbin students have also raised money to benefit the Nepalese students. With past funds they have been able to provide them with a library and a water purification system. These efforts are greatly appreciated by students of Bhanu High. It also shows the results of teamwork on the behalf of the Quabbin students.
Through their correspondence, the students have formed special friendships that many unfortunately never have the opportunity to experience. It was these friendships that inspired a trip to Nepal last year. However, due to the unrest in the area, the trip was canceled.
Yet, the students at Quabbin have not given up. They wish to bring several students from Bhanu High to Massachusetts, next October. This would be an amazing opportunity for both parties, especially the Nepalese students. Not only would they be able to experience American culture, but it will be an educational exchange between the students.
To make this trip possible, Quabbin students need to raise $7,500. Along with their hard efforts, we’re also looking for business donations which will insure such a trip could take place. We would appreciate any help you can offer us. If this trip is made possible, we would be glad to arrange to bring the Nepalese students to your business as a personal thank you. If you wish to donate, please contact Michele DiMartino, Project Nepal advisor, at (978) 355-4651 or
