We have funded many projects over the years, and now we have not funds to spare. Then I learned about the giant Global Giving NGO, and at the same time I was awakened to the urgent need of people in Nepal to shed the ancient tradition of forcing girls to miss 1 week of school each month, and worse still, to have these young girls stay outside in crude huts, even in the wintertime. At 77 years, this was utterly shocking news. I still cannot believe it is true! I am sure that by now, you know that I am talking about young women with Periods!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Consequently I have made a partner with ICA Nepal, and they decided to educate girls in schools of Kathmandu and in the remote mountains too. Together we sent the goal of reaching 5000 girls from now until Spring. We have a head start, so with skills, a sanitary napkin making device, and cooperation of many schools, we think we will succeed. All Nepal needs is you to join in helping fund this effort, with a small gift, say US$10 to US$25, or more. That is about one nice restaurant meal, isn’t it?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="text-indent: -37.7952766418457px;" class="">Would you please read our proposal which we have put on-line?
