Today at 1.00 pm, Khenpo Namdrol Rinpoche met all the MEP students and their parents, and gave away the prizes for 46 students who have obtained top 10 position from kindergarten class to Grade 9 in the final examination. He appreciated students who attained good result & those who did not do better than last year to put more efforts.
Khenrinpoche also offered scarves & gifts for the tuition teachers as an appreciation and gratitude.

We started the Manjushri Education Project in 2012 with the aim to empower the lives of children in Nepal through education. Since then, our project has touched 75 lives.
The above would not have been achieved without the support of Firefly Mission, a humanitarian organisation based in Singapore. This tremendously charitable organization has supported MEP to build two more blocks of reinforced concrete hostels and a block of two adjacent classrooms for MEP. The construction was completed in April 2016 and a opening ceremony was held on April 2. With the extension of the blocks, we are able to sponsor up to 100 children.
There have been many challenges along the way. One of them included the 7.8 magnitude earthquake last year which killed over 8,000 people and injured more than 21,000. Hundreds of thousands of people were made homeless with entire villages flattened across many districts of the country.
Since the earthquake last year, MEP has also partnered with Firefly Mission to carry out the critical relief work, which included the provision of temporary shelters, freshly cooked food, temporary schooling, gas stoves and tanks, zinc sheets for construction of homes.
In addition, Firefly Mission and MEP sponsors have also sponsored a mass screening for hepatitis B and vaccination for students, villagers and the monastics. To date, we have vaccinated 1,121 people, out of which 1,075 are children and 31 of them are receiving regular treatment for Hepatitis B.
We would like to thank Firefly Mission and all MEP sponsors for their generous donations and supports for the Relief and Rehabilitation project.

2014… The Begining of a new lease of life for the Manjushri Educational Project.
The MEP Student Hostel is finally ready and the Nepali students will be moving in soon. Final touches on the accomodation and logistics have been put in place… and students from MEP Bhutan visited the place and enjoyed the new faculties as guest of the MEP Nepali students. It was a great opportunity that the two groups of children can meet and encourage each other.
A new year may mean so many things to many people.. whether a new car, new house, new dreams, new wishes and new relationships. Please include our MEP project as one of the charities that you will support in 2014. 100% of your donation will be spent on the children as all administrations are borned by volunteers of the temple and students of the sangha.
May everyone have a wonderful 2014!
One year after being in Manjushri Educational Project, We can see improvement in the children behaviour and school results.
Thank you for supporting this meaningful project to plant the seed of wisdom and knowledge.
Within the first 6 months of the Manjushri Educational Project (Nepal charity registration number 1060/2066, estd. 2009), we have managed to raise enough funds to cover 29 students from Nepal and 16 students from Bhutan for two years.
The children of MEP are grateful for your support. Every dollar from you makes a difference for these needy children, who otherwise could not receive proper education.
Please note that no administration expenses are rendered as we are all volunteers helping in this project. All your donations will be directly and mindfully spent to purchase school uniforms, textbooks and stationeries, school admission and tuition fees.
We plan to support each child for the next 10 years till they finish secondary school. If you are interested to help us again, or sponsor a particular child’s educational expenses annually, please contact me if you need more information.
Thank you and may all be well and happy.
