This past week, the Siddhartha School children took up a collection in the community to help victims of the Nepal earthquake. The children raised nearly $500 USD for the relief effort, and thanks to a generous SSP board member, this amount will be double matched for a total of $1,500 USD to go directly to remote village relief efforts.
