CNN Hero Maggie Doyne Transforms Lives in Nepal
Maggie Doyne, a CNN Hero of the Year, has transformed lives in Nepal through her BlinkNow Foundation. Her journey began after meeting a young girl during the country's civil conflict, leading to the creation of the Kopila Valley Children's Home and School.
Doyne's impact is evident in the growth of her initiatives. What started as a small home for at-risk girls has evolved into a four-story Children's Village, with a new facility opening this year. Her Kopila Valley School has educated 1,000 students, offering diverse courses and job readiness programs.
Doyne's message of hope and kindness resonates globally. She was honoured as the 2015 CNN Hero of the Year for her work. A documentary, 'Between the Mountain and the Sky', released this year, shares her inspiring story. Despite personal tragedy, such as the loss of her son Ravi, Doyne continues to make a difference. She now lives in Nepal with her husband Jeremy Power Regimbal and their biological children, raising them alongside their 93 siblings.
Maggie Doyne's commitment to Nepal has resulted in a thriving community at Kopila Valley. Her work continues to inspire, with a new facility opening soon and her message of kindness echoing worldwide. Despite challenges, Doyne remains dedicated to her mission, proving that anyone can make a difference through small acts of kindness.
