Tsarang Buddhist Convent School Clean Water Project
Hi folks – How would you like to help tiny Buddhist nuns play more ping pong & haul less water? Here’s your chance!
Please consider donating – I loved this little school and the young women there & our gift will make a significant impact on their quality of life. Thank you!
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!
Happy Year of the Water Snake!
