Beyond.

post-Gala


We did it. All of us. All of you.

Our inaugural fundraising gala for Kids of Kathmandu was on Thursday and let me tell you, we are still flying high from the event...it gained momentum all week as the event approached, with more and more tickets being sold, artist tickets selling out, and bids mounting up for the desks. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and come 6pm, we had a room ready for an event that looked amazing. So many helpful hands and hearts on this project...it is really mind blowing. The event was crowded and jovial, caring and interested. It went off without a hitch.

And did you hear??

We sold all eleven desks in the silent auction!!!

Ten individual children are fully sponsored!!

And we raised enough additional money to send all 41 children to a better school!!

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this ride, good things are ahead.

Namaste. Dhanyabad. Om.

And thank you to Melanie McLean for taking pictures for us that evening!
