She Didn’t Know What To Do After High School… You Won’t Believe How A Gap Year Changed Maggie’s Life

Like many high school graduates, Maggie Doyne didn’t quite know what she wanted to do with her life. With a backpack on her shoulder, she struck into the world with a volunteer group that eventually led her to northeast India. Hiking and busing into Nepal, Maggie Doyne met Nisha, a girl who would collect river stones and break them down all day to be sold for pennies. Ready to help this one girl, Maggie started a journey that saw her take 30 Nepalese orphans into the Kopila Valley Children’s Home and School that she founded and supports. The kicker? Maggie is only 27 years old.
