We are currently trying to help
build a library in rural Nepal. We will gladly accept your donations of
any amount. To learn more about this project please visit our blog.
Things are always changing here and abroad. Lately,
silver prices have been rising, along with tempers in Nepal. We do our best
to continue supporting cottage industry despite the work strikes and changes
in the Nepali tax laws. We also make some very direct contributions to some
brilliant students. To hear more about these children and our family click
