FUNDRAISER: Next milestone: $12,000

We crossed $12,000 in sales of our fundraiser ebook People of the Himalayas! I can’t even begin to express how much your help means to us.

Together with these pictures, we received the following message from our friend Chhokpa who was part of the help effort to bring food supplies to the people of the Sindhupalchok District in Nepal.

“Hello Chris. Today we distributed food stuff to the people of different village of sindhupalchok district. Government still not reach in that area so with some of our uncle from my mothers village we have distrobuted the food supplies(rice,lentil,oil and salt) to the villagers. Still many villagers have not get necessary tent and food stuff.”

If the government doesn’t get help out to the villages, the people will just do it themselves. And we’re proud to be able to support them.
