Looking Forward to a Visit from Nepal
In just a few short weeks, Bhuvaneshwori Satyal Foundation's (BSF) Executive Director Leena Satyal and Board President Yogesh Satyal will be traveling to visit us here in the United States. This will be their fourth trip to St. Louis since our partnership began. Between spending time with our child sponsors, attending our 2024 Strategic Planning Meeting, and attending a Miles for Mitrata Kids 2024 picnic, their time will be packed full of events and activities!
A Mini Graduation
Recently, BSF held a “Mini” Graduation Ceremony with the 2024 Secondary Education Exam (SEE) graduates and Contact Center graduates at our new Contact Center.
An Incredible Adventure
A few of our students were accompanied by the BSF staff on a three day Adventure Trip. The goal of this trip was to broaden our students’ views and empower them to discover more about their culture, history, and the spectacular scenery of Nepal.
Fund A Contact Center Need (or two!)
Please join us in providing the children at the Contact Center with comprehensive healthcare checkups, dental procedures, pairs of glasses, and a much-loved Contact Center field trip to the Kathmandu Zoo, including pizza and ice cream.
