Sponsors: The Genies of Mitrata
This year we have 11 young students who are moving from the Contact Center to private schools. These are unique children with their own stories, hopes, and dreams, but each has one need in common: a sponsor who will support their care and education as they grow and prepare to make their wishes come true.
Are You Ready for Miles for Mitrata Kids 2024?
Mitrata-Nepal Foundation for Children has set out to raise $35,000 through the event Miles for Mitrata Kids. These funds will support the education of the 2024 Contact Center graduates until they are fully sponsored.
Double the Trivia, Double the Fun!
This year, for the first time ever, Mitrata held TWO Trivia Nights, one in St. Louis, MO and one in Seattle, WA. Combined, the events raised an over $40,000 for our Fund-A-Need goals!
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.
Hey St. Louis, Are You Ready for Some TRIVIA?
May the Fourth be with You! St. Louis Trivia Night returns on May 4, 2024. We can’t wait to see you there.
A New Look into the Contact Center Program
Mitrata’s newest video provides a brief overview of the Contact Center program, the holistic approach followed by the program’s staff, and the impact the program has in the lives of the children and their families.
Coming to Seattle: Mitrata Trivia Night
We are so excited to launch a brand-new event for 2024! Seattle Trivia Night will take place on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in Seattle, WA. We hope to see you there!
Monumental Goals for the New Year
Throughout 2024 we are looking forward to setting new goals, and also accomplishing goals we have been working toward for a long time. Keep reading to learn about some of our most exciting goals for 2024!
Spending Time with the Programs
While at the Contact Center, the team enjoyed playing with the children, meeting new Contact Center staff, watching them perform many dances and songs, and sitting down to a delicious and nutritious lunch. After spending a busy morning at the Contact Center, the team left the children to their studies and went to visit the Vibhuti Vidhya Mandir School.
What does it mean to be a Contact Center Sponsor?
Sponsoring the Contact Center looks different than our child sponsorship program. Most notably, it is a flexible sponsorship option, while still enabling the sponsor to make a difference in the lives of children halfway around the world.
