why my buddy matt is

buying a busfor his birthday!

a true story by David crandall

This is my buddyMatt Madeiro

he told me aboutMaggie Doyne

he told me aboutMaggie Doyne(We’ll come back to Matt in a moment)

wanted to seemaggie doyne

the world...

so at age19she did just that

hopped a plane...

so at age19she did just that

flew 20,000 miles...

so at age19she did just that

so at age19she did just that

and found herself

in nepal

just trying to survive

she met hundreds of

children

then...

she went home.

and for most travelers...

that memorythat experience

that event

that experiencewould be enough.

but maggie went back...

to make a difference!

for 40 of those childrenshe built a home

and two years later...

she openedthe Kopila Valley Primary school

for 300 students from all over Nepal

This school is the one and only opportunity for an educationmost of these children have.

It’s a safe house from the harsh realities of life in Nepal.

Then Matt told meMaggie and her students need help

Many of these students

walk hours each way just to get to school...

and Where they walk is not always safe.

“How far do they have to walk?”I asked.

Laxmi Karki’s daily round trip:

Nisha Bakabal’s daily round trip:

5 hours

2 hours

I was speechless.

which brings us back to...
