In 2007, my travels and yearning for volunteerism took me to the beautiful country of Nepal. I spent time at the DRC (Disabled Rehabilitative Centre) for children with disabilities. This was one the most humbling experience of my life. Children who are poor, often without contact from their families and most likely experiencing some pain and discomfort from their disability, are bright stars, shining, full of joy and so thankful for donations and especially the chance to go to school.
Fast forward to today, I am an excited and enthusiastic Volunteer Director of Events at Jolkona which, thus far has been a rich, fun, learning experience. Not only am I part of a stellar team that will produce an amazing fundraiser next year (stay tuned for details), but we are also a fundraising machine! This holiday season for the 12 Days of Giving our team decided to give back to the children of Nepal.
In a newly formed organization, the Disabled and Helpless Children New Life Center, many of the children I met years ago, have grown and not only excelling in school, but also growing up, and beginning lives on their own... all despite their disabilities. For just $36 you can sponsor one month of education (including books, uniforms, lunch and school fees) for one child! What an amazing gift to give! You can dedicate a donation in someone else's name and make a huge difference to someone who loves to learn!
How do you do it? Visit our campaign page, check out the details and share with others! Give big and with love. That's what makes our world go 'round.
Thank you! Namaste!
