The next set of stories is a collaboration between Stories of Nepal and The BlinkNow Foundation. The BlinkNow foundation provides schooling and a loving, caring home for orphaned, impoverished and at-risk children in Surkhet, Nepal. The organisation also provides community services to reduce poverty, empower women, improve health, and encourage sustainability and social justice. This was our second collaboration with BlinkNow and during our time we focused on the stories of the parents and guardians of the children who attend Kopila Valley School.
