JUST A LITTLE HELP

Dear Mutanchi Rumkups,
Khamrimo!

It is a blatant fact that education and knowledge is the only road to success. This as we all know has long been denied to our children, where majority of our people live in remote villages in between the slopes of mountains and ridges which are barely invitable.
Under the initiative of the Indigenous Lepcha Tribal Association, the people have themselves struggled to open up 40 Lepcha Night Schools in different parts of the District of Darjeeling where Government Schools are not available and even if so they do not have the standard and the quality. It is also to your knowledge that the Girls and Boys Hostel in Bom, Kalimpong, District of Darjeeling, gives refuge to our various children from different villages coming for higher education in the town.
Lack of resources in these schools and need for a library in the hostel, is the crux to this letter. Our enthusiastic children walk several hours to reach these one room schools, where Lepcha and English are taught to the children. We need your help in contributions of any kind.
Things that you can do to help are as follows:-
1. By sending any old books that are not in use in your house which is suitable for a student, be it in Lepcha or English on subjects like Science, Mathematics etc., old magazines, story books; novels or for that matter even a month old read newspapers, this includes all positive readable materials.
2. By forwarding this letter to any of your friends or families who may have books which are not in their use.
3. By giving us financial assistance , where every details will be accounted in a register. This will be used exclusively for the various expenses in reaching the books to different villages and for other educational purposes.
4. By giving suggestions in letters to carry out the dream of educating, each and every one of our child, by multiplying these Night Schools and improving their infrastructure.
5. By giving suggestion and career guidance to our children residing in the Boys and Girls Hostel in Bom, Kalimpong.
Your contributions will be highly appreciated if left in the following address:-
Lepcha Boys and Girls Hostel, Below Kumudini Homes, Lower Bom, Kalimpong-734301 District Darjeeling, West Bengal.
If it is convenient for you, the undersigned, when informed, will send our co-ordinators at your residence or office for the collection.
Let us help ourselves. There is no future for us without our children. Please remember that your books will be read a thousand times by a thousand knowledge hungry children who are deprived of it in the remote villages. We have always wanted to make a difference in the lives of our people. Here is an opportunity for you to do so. This might seem little to you but it will have an everlasting victory in all the things that we have been denied in our Nye Mayel Renjyaong Lyang.
Aachuley!
