історія анлійською під катом

If you’ve never heard Maggie Doyne's amazing story, prepare to be inspired! In 2006, the adventurous 19-year-old New Jersey-native used $5000 saved from years of babysitting to open an orphanage in Surkhet, Nepal after seeing the plight facing children there after the Nepalese Civil War. Today, at 26, Maggie is the “mother” and legal guardian of 40 children and has also built a K - 8 school that currently educates 340 students.

Just this past June, as she discusses in a recent Daily Beast article, Maggie launched her newest project -- a women’s center for the Kopila Valley where her school is located. Doyne has formed a foundation, BlinkNow, to help support the Kopila Valley Children’s Home and School, and she notes that donors and volunteers have been critical to making it a success. While Doyne knows that her path have been unconventional, it's certainly been the right choice for her: "I wake up every day saying ‘I love my job.,’ That’s my message for young people, especially for young women: do what you love and what makes you feel good.”
