Hathway Analytics-another corporate grant

With perfect timing to support our recent posting on “Sustainability” we have once again been extremely fortunate to receive a sustainable grant from Hathway Analytics, an Oxfordshire business analysis consultancy. Our main supporters here are Nancy and Simon Hathway who have been personal supporters for some time and they have now committed their company to an annual grant which in this first year funds the salary of a teacher at Kesh Chandra School.
Nancy takes up the “story”:-

“In the UK we are incredibly fortunate with the provision and availability for our children’s schooling. Having personally gone through the free UK education system I have been given opportunities that many people around the world cannot even dream about. Fifteen years after leaving secondary school I am now running my own business analytics company. I chose to support Nepal Schools Aid because I believe that it is every child’s right to receive an education. This small charity enables some of the poorest children in Kathmandu to access educational material and schooling.

Often I have felt powerless to make any impact on events that I have seen in the media, however this is changing through charities like Nepal Schools Aid. I can help a little bit of the world and see something really positive happening with my donation.

As a parent it is important for me that my children are educated about the world outside of our small Oxfordshire village. Our local village school has started on the route of linking with Kesh Chandra school in central Kathmandu. As my eldest daughter starts year 2 in September her class will have Nepal studies on their curriculum. I am very proud that as a family we are able to support the school with a teacher, Malika Shakya. I hope with this personal family commitment and our planned trip to Nepal in 2010 that our children will learn it is everybody’s responsibility to take action to make our world a better place. We really can make a difference, people need to take personal action whether it be with time or donations to change our global, but not so equal world.”
