Mitrataa Foundation - Change a life

How will you communicate with me?

We will communicate with you mainly by email, including sending you reports, photos and updates. This saves on postage costs. If you would prefer to receive hard copies of these things, please let us know and we will certainly post them to you.
How will I know when subsequent years' scholarship money is due?

Scholarship money will be due by 31st March each year as this is the beginning of the school year in Nepal. We will send you a reminder in early March of each year.
How can I pay my scholarship money?

The easiest way is by PayPal.

Otherwise you can either send us a cheque (made payable to the Mitrataa Foundation) or you can deposit the money directly into the Foundation's bank account. Let us know and we can send you the details.
Can I send my sponsored girl letters?

Of course you can. The girls love hearing from you! It helps them to practice their English as well. It can be particularly rewarding if you have children of your own as they can correspond with an overseas pen friend, learn about another country and culture and develop a keen appreciation for just how fortunate they are.

It's better if you can email them to us, but you can also post them to us at PO Box 9086, Bathurst, NSW 2795, Australia and we will get them to Nepal.
Can I send her presents?

You can send the girls the occasional small keepsake as they love receiving them. But please do not send anything more as not all sponsors are comfortable sending gifts, and you don't want to spoil your child. The other children can get jealous and the girls may start to expect to receive presents!

It is great if you can send something the girls can share with the other kids such as skipping ropes or games.
