Coming off a fantastic and motivational lunch with my friend Betty Tisdale I though I might need to share an update on the September trip and happenings in October over in Nepal. We had an incredibly productive two weeks in Kathmandu Nepal with the kids at SDCN and some great people (thank you Raina, Jenara, Prakash and Dawa)! We accomplished much of what we sent out to do and also may have found an urban organic farm to purchase produce from someday! We also sent a great care package over with Karen Gardner, thank you again! She brought blank story books for the kids to get creative with storytelling, we'll scan the books and then my friend Austin's organization
http://www.singmeastory.org/ will bring them to life! Thank you to those who supported us in this adventure and mission. The kids are doing incredibly well.
We have big dreams for what the next year can bring in the shape of entrepreneurial projects to generate revenue in Nepal, getting our older kids out into the world and bringing the benefits of technology and internet communication to the children in the home. We have a library and computer now, just looking for further support in bringing more computers and consistent internet access as the next step. Speaking of which, if you want to support right now we're all set to take tax-deductible CC donations here:

If you have the desire to learn more, contribute advice or come to Nepal and check things out yourself that would be amazing. We are expanding our connection with Omprakash.org and there are tons of opportunities to volunteer from home, especially if you have experience in grant writing, education programming and non-profit paper-working. Write me back for me details!
