The Jamyang Foundation, founded in 1988, supports innovative education projects for indigenous girls and women in two of the neediest and most remote parts of the world: the Indian Himalayas and the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. This year, BGR is again sponsoring Jamyang’s School Lunches for Marma Girls project in Bangladesh, feeding students at Visakha Girls’ School, which serves disadvantaged girls from the remote village of Dhoshri and surrounding villages. The program provides healthy food at least once a day for 128 girls in kindergarten through sixth grade. Before this project was established, many of the students were so malnourished that they had trouble concentrating and often dropped out of school. With the added nutrition of the lunch project, they are now healthy and happy and able to focus on their lessons. Their parents are glad that their daughters get a good lunch at the school and are encouraged to send their other girls to study. Annually renewable project
