Why My Buddy is Buying a Bus
Matt wants to buy a bus for a school in Nepal to help children who walk for hours each way to get to their only opportunity for an education. He is asking 1,000 people to donate $25 each to reach his $25,000 goal and buy the bus for Maggie Doyne's Kopi la Valley Primary School by his 25th birthday on December 25th. The bus would help save children like Laxmi Karki, who walks 5 hours round trip daily, and Nisha Bakabal, who walks 2 hours round trip daily, from the harsh realities and dangers of their long walks.
