Emily Sandall Foundation

We are very proud to again donate to the Summer Arts and Leadership Camp sponsored through WORD in Missoula, Montana and run by a friend of Emily’s,Joshua Lisbon.The camp is for homeless and at-risk children. It is a free camp that provides breakfast, lunch, transportation and a bunch of great programming including rafting,backpacking,ropes course programming,Native American games, African dance,music, art and horseback riding.Emily would have loved this concept and camp.
It is the goal of SALC to provide a safe, structured and fun summer free of charge to homeless students and those at-risk of homelessness who would otherwise be unable to access such resources. This camp combines so well Emily’s passion for the wilderness and helping disadvantaged children.

We hope that SALC and its staff and campers have a wonderful and successful summer.

Colleen Beebe from Advocates for Human Rights made a trip to the Sankhu-Palubari school in Nepal and carried with her our pictures and greetings from the Foundation. Here is the note below:

I just returned from my trip to Nepal to visit the Sankhu School. I visited the school a week ago today (last Tuesday). The children planned a program for the visitors to the school that day. During the program we spoke of Emily and sent greetings on your behalf to the students and staff. The older children, staff and folks in the community remember Emily very much. During the program, at the students’ initiative, they stood for a minute to honor her memory. I am sending you some photographs with the children holding a sign thanking you for your support. Also, I am sending you a photograph of Emily’s host father. I didn’t know that Emily had lived with his family (I’ve known him since first visiting the school). I also learned that Emily was known as Monisha (a Nepali name).
