October 1, 2012 – Apen, Co. – 13 year old Aspen resident, Jack Sarick donated 100% of his Bar Mitzah gift money to Grapes fro Humanity Global Foundation and to Grapes for Humanity Canada to benefit the Marshyangdi School in Kathmandu, Nepal.

“It is extremely rare to see such compassion and awareness in someone as young as Jack and we are humbled by his generosity.   ” –  Arlene Willis, Founder and CEO of GFH Global Foundation.

The Marshyangdi School’s mission is based on the belief that all children are capable of learning and have the right to learn. The co-educational boarding school provides a nurturing and academically challenging environment for Nepalese children.

“I felt that, as a family, we are in a place where Jack does not need this money. People had given generously, and at this stage in Jack’s life, it was more important to share that generosity with others.” –  Shereen Sarick, Mother of Jack

Jack and his mother recently departed for an eight-month trip around the world where they will spend two months volunteering at the Marshyangdi school.
