Open World Cause Megathread
Update 8/4/14:
We did it! Thanks to your incredible support and our organizational partners around the world, we were able to break ground on a new school that will provide education to deserving students in a rural community in Nepal. In addition to providing educational access, the school will serve first hub of clean, running water for the community. http://i.imgur.com/XN5fa2L.jpg http://i.imgur.com/THAAgd8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VFEOPRK.jpg We are now turning our sights to traveling to the school next summer to build a fourth classroom (this will allow the school to accept and educate every available child in the community) and teach a group of students for a month next summer. Any more of your support would be incredibly appreciated. :) Thank you all again.

Great! How have the children used the laptops so far?

I vote that you take up a collection to send them Matt Cassel. Maybe he can be useful building schoolrooms. |

I mean it, I'm just going to keep bumping the living shit out this thread until it gets a sticky.

Another good organization helping kids in Nepal is http://nepalyouthfoundation.org/
I contribute to a fund that buys girls back after they get sold by their impoverished families. A piglet & 5 gallons of kerosene is enough to buy a kid back from servitude. Unfortunately, they go back to a family that sold them. Side note: Some khukri-making Kamis were raising funds to put a Nepalese dude through med school in India by holding a raffle for some beautiful, hand-forged khukris that they made. He's working as a doctor in Nepal now. I bought spots for both raffles & won both knives. Serious good luck. Here's a pic of one of 'em. 22 inches long, forged out of 5150 spring steel by the former Royal Kami of Nepal: http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...g?t=1242078462 |
This explains some of the new trolls...
