During her travels, the trajectory of her life alters when she has a surprise encounter with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry. Maggie decides to invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of land and open a children's home in Nepal. That home becomes Kopila Valley Children's Home, and eventually, the nonprofit Maggie launches, the BlinkNow Foundation, also starts the Kopila Valley School, which provides tuition- free education for more than four hundred students. Maggie and BlinkNow's work have been recognized around the world for their innovative, sustainable work. However, this book isn't a how-to for fledging philanthropists or nonprofit founders— it's a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope she experiences along the way."-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Doyne, Maggie. 610 20 BlinkNow Foundation. 650 0 Children|xInstitutional care|zNepal. 650 0 Schools|zNepal. 650 0 Philanthropists|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Americans|zNepal|vBiography. 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Miller, Shannon Lee,|eauthor.
