aim to help educate the students, specially the underprivileged, lower

raising funds to help. Daman Basnet, the representative president of GIA
for Nepal informed that the help from Japan will be made available directly
to the needy as the experience has shown that the help through local foundations
and NGOs sometimes prevent the needy to get the benefit because of political
and bureaucratic red-tapism.
