Christmas message

Wow, 2008 has been an amazing year for Mitrataa with so many new and exciting projects taking off. We have also been fortunate to have some truly amazing people come on board to contribute in different ways. There have been numerous visits to Nepal and we have had the pleasure of working with some fantastic volunteers who made the journey there as well. The most exciting part of this is that 2009 is already shaping up to be as big or even bigger!

We want to say a massive 'thanks' to everyone who has supported us throughout the year. We couldn't have done it without you, your contributions make the world of difference. We also want to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and New Year, and look forward to hearing from you and keeping you all updated on our work in the new year.

Do something different this Christmas...

Stuck for ideas for a gift for someone special? Why not give them a unique gift that changes lives?

We currently have 30 girls on our waiting list for scholarships to attend school in Nepal. Without an education these girls will join the almost 60% of women in Nepal who are illiterate, condemning them to a life of limited opportunity and a lot of struggle.

For only AU$300 per year you can change a girl’s life forever. This amount covers school fees, uniform, text books and stationery, and any incidentals such as lunch and basic medical care – enough to start a young girl on the path to catching her dreams!


What an amazing thing to give someone less fortunate than you – a gift that makes a lasting impact.

You can read more about the Dream Catchers program at our website.

If you want to give this gift to a friend or family member, simply email us today to organise payment. We will prepare an information sheet for your recipient which will include details of the girl they are supporting and a photo. They will then receive updates throughout the year on the girl’s progress.

Please also forward this to anyone you think would like to make a difference.
