POst benefit

Post benefit analysis.

In short -
Total raised $800.65

Spending intentions - At this stage, this money will be put aside, high interest account.

I will be in contact with the orphanage to see how their current living finances are going. If they are sustainable until my arrival, research into the best possible investment will take place.

Ideas / think take which I would love you to add to;
*Materials for craft vocational training.
*Scholarships for a group to participate in micro credit training.
*Rescuing more girls.
*Agricultural supplies to sustain their living environment.
*Employment of Nepali carers in the orphanage so that girls have more time to study, play and relax.

Please trust that this will be updated as soon as appropriate.

Benefit Extraviganza

Where to start?
How to express it...?
I don't know where I'll ever find so much selfLESS, committed love.

But what I do know, is that 669 Lygon street- 8th August was a hub of energetic dedication to concept of making someone else' life, one totally unbeknown and unfamiliar to most, a little more comfortable.

From Michael's eternal excitement with this mountain of clothes that he had the opportunity to scavenge through...
With the fear that Claire held over everybody when auctioning off a bowling ball from the top of a stair case...
and the blessing of Brice' Spanish tortia complimented with Sharif's competitive babaganush... only to be overwhelmed by Felipe and his abundance of Hommus made from true organic home produce!
All ... in the humbling presence of these phenomenal musicians;

.. There are too many people to Thank. BUt a standing mountain of pure bliss,,, is Laura- who's house, she opened as a venue second to none.
Em- for her organisational skills, ideas, pure enthusiasm and trust in the project.

SO_ How do I feel?? Not that this was about me... but I feared I would show a bit of fear for my anticipated journey. I also thought I may show sadness for leaving this amazing group of people. But I didn't, because I KNOW it will always be there... and I KNOW that with the worlds support- a project like this in Nepal WILL be successful. We just need to keep an open mind, then - anything is possible.

Lets just begin!
