After one and half months, the money reached Khima´s hands and without a second thought she donated it to a school in her village. [break]
Khima, who was active in Maoist politics from her school days, had married Timilsina on May 3, 2003. Timilsina was killed in crossfire after 10 months of their marriage.
She has now established a permanent fund for National Lower Secondary School at Mangalpur VDC-1, where Timilsina had studied in her childhood.
"I am thinking of funding a full scholarship for the student who scores the highest grades in class 8," she said.
Khima had received a total of Rs 300,000 in compensation in two installments.
Khima´s brother-in-law Ram Krishna Timilsina was also killed during the Maoist insurgency.
Ram Krishna´s widow Sita has also donated her compensation money to the permanent fund at the school and they are planning to fund four full scholarships annually, said Khima.
