We also help two exceptions to the rule; a brother and sister orphaned by the 2015 earthquakes. They are alone in the world. They were allowed to go to a free school, very far from the house where they live. There was no money for a better school, closer to home. This has been funded by 4 Smiling Faces since 2016, so that they too can just be children.

Brother and sister Ushtav and Ushika have been regular visitors to the SHCOP after-school program for years. They are still in high school. Both are very smart and hard working. Ushtav skipt a class and wants to become a doctor and Ushika has – without a doubt – a bright future too.
