Ranu is 7 years old and from Western Nepal in Rukum district.  Rukum district is the poorest region in Nepal and the origin of the Maoist movement, Rukum’s people are very hardened and tend to be part of the lowest caste in Nepal’s still operating caste system.  Ranu’s father left over a year ago for work and was never heard from again.  Ranu has 3 siblings and her mother works as a serf on a landholder’s farm.

Ranu is adjusting to living in town with us and loves being the first person in her family to go to school…ever!
