Question: CAN WE ADOPT ANY OF THE CHILDREN UNDER THIS PROJECT?
Answer: The Manjushri Educational Project is not a child adoption program. This is a project where people can sponsor the education of a child of many desperately poor families living in Nepal and Bhutan, who have no means of improving their life circumstances; Most are of the lowest caste, ignored and shunned by most people and have little to eat, no education and suffer terribly.
We believe that the best way for them to improve their own lives is through education and removing a child from his/her parent is not our intention. The project is not targeted to unwanted orphans or abandoned street children, but needy families who could not afford to provide education for their children even when they wanted to. We give these children a chance out of poverty through education.
So far, we have help 29 Nepali children and 16 Bhutanese children. You can help us promote this project and increase awareness and support.
