Now the <u class="">on-line giving</u> is ready to receive your donation through GlobalGiving. They provided training and act as a channel to ICA Japan & ICA Nepal to receive your donation. The 5000 venerable girls near our activities really need help, because this is a deep contradiction in all their lives. We have nowhere to turn except you fine deep thinkers. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please read below more about this opportunity to get involved in Human development. It takes a little bit of money from many of you to help make a big impact. ICA Nepal has begun, but requires additional funding, and ICA Japan could not add this component to the remote site where we are building a community center and giving a variety of other essential training. If you agree, consider making your donation be a monthly donation.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
