| Last November, three amazing Nepali women ran the marathon and raised over US$8,000 for the Help Nepal Health Post in Haripurwa VDC, Sarlahi.
This year, two equally remarkable Nepali men and an American friend are running the DC Marine Corp marathon on October 28th to raise money for the Help Nepal e-Library Project.

Help Nepal has already established two e-libraries, in Dang and Bhaktapur, and two new will soon be set up in Kavre and Morang. The next six districts targeted are: Banke, Bhojpur, Chitwan, Sunsari, Rautahat, and Rupandehi. Each e-library will cost approximately US$2,800 and thus the total Project cost for the next six districts is US$16,800.
