Every little helps; if you feel you could contribute towards Upsana's education costs, your contribution would be very much appreciated.

Upasna Tamang Comes from Jalpaiguri in West Bengal,she has a younger brother and a step father and her mother and grandmother both suffer from chronic health problems requiring constant medication,
all Health treatment has to be paid for in India.
Upasna's step father can not afford to continue to let Uspana continue her education, because of the large medical bills he has to pay. Upsana has 1 more year to complete at St. Joseph's School when she can sit her Board Examinations and if possible then continue on to Grades 11 & 12 in another school to sit her exams which are equivalent to our 6th year examinations.
Upsana really would like to be able to continue in education if possible, she is a good student and works hard.

Sch. fees Rs.5,000, books Rs. 2,500 and Hostel Rs.18,000
The Indian Rupee is Rs79 to 85 to the £1.
