This is Asmita. She is 14 years old and lives in the small underdeveloped village of krishnapur, chitwan, nepal. She is suffering from a sever case of piles or hemorrhoids and she has for most of her young life. I have had the privilege to spend two months with her and be graced by this little angels presence. She is one of the most humble, thankful, and determined children i have ever met. Her disease prevents her from going to school or even moving from place to place on some days because the pain is so immense. If her living situation was better than she would be able to have medicine weekly or have surgery but she lives in a one room hut with her parents and 3 siblings. Her family has just enough food to feed themselves on their fathers small salary of an elecrtrican. I have been in contact with her mother and i am determined to provide medicine and if need be surgery for Asmita. My goal is to raise $600 (aprx. 43,000 rupees) for asmita's medicine, surgery, and recovery. Every girl deserves to have her childhood, nothing should deprive her of that. The date has not been confirmed yet but, i am setting up a benefit show for her. This show will also be the beginning of this organization in an attempt to recruit members. I will post more details as they come. Love and light
