What is CSNG Donate (http://www.csngdonate.com)?

Click here for a sneak preview of the web site coming for the Canadian School for Nepalese Girls (CSNG)In a nutshell, CSNG is a vision of mine to nurture, develop and foster a successful Canadian school for Nepalese girls in the Khumbu region near the base of Mount Everest.

The mission for this school is to provide sustainable education opportunities for Nepalese girls who do not have the resouces or the opportunity to participate in a normal school environment.

The seed for this vision came when I traveled to Nepal and observed the circumstances of the young girls in that area. This school, both the physical structure and the ongoing entity, will be created through collaborative Canadian efforts.

I invite you to come and browse the web site (http://www.csngdonate.com) which will be launched this coming week. I also welcome you to participate in this vision to make a difference in these girl's lives. Stand up, be counted and make a difference in a young Nepalese girl's life! Thank-you!
