n nBetween the Mountain and the Sky shows us the goodness that is possible when a single person--regardless of age--takes action to help another and, in the process, changes the lives of hundreds. n nMaggies story begins in suburban New Jersey, in a comfortable middle-class family that supports her decision to travel the world during a gap year before starting college. 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 childrens home in Nepal.n nThat home becomes Kopila Valley Childrens 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 BlinkNows work have been recognized around the world for their innovative, sustainable work.n nHowever, this book isnt a how-to for fledging philanthropists or nonprofit founders--its 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. And Maggies inspiring, intimate tale shows readers an important truth: the power to change the world exists within all of us.n
