Back from Nepal!
I’m back from Nepal — it was an incredible trip & I feel very inspired to fundraise for a number of the charities I worked with there. Here’s an easy one: look at these beautiful sweet hardworking girls studying at the Buddhist nunnery in Tsarang. If we can raise $5000 we can help them complete their project to have clean running water at the convent. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing to this project. Thanks!
