We know you
haven’t heard from us in a while, but rest assured it’s not because we’ve been
inactive. Quite the opposite!
Last year, WELNepal
had to turn down over two-thirds of the women’s groups because it wasn’t
possible to fund their courses. We also had to turn down women’s groups who
wanted to learn how to grow organic vegetables and mushrooms and manufacture
candles.
We’re going
to need you to be especially conscious of our women’s groups this year because
we will not be holding our annual
benefit bash. We’re taking the next few months to hunker down and spend every
penny on the people who need us most: the dedicated women and girls who always
want more and better from their friends at WELNepal.
For all of
you who have attended our parties and donated in the past, we still need your support.
Please help us by making a donation through Canada
Helps. Canada Helps will
electronically issue a tax receipt. You
can also send a check payable to WELNepal at:
178 A Palmerston Ave.
Toronto, ON
M6J 2J4.

As always, we
will be happy to send your tax receipt to you.

Also, please
remember that the devastating earthquake has had a catastrophic effect on
tourism — a sector people rely on to make ends meet. In order to survive, the Nepalese
people need to find new ways to grow their economy. By giving the neediest
people the tools to grow their coffers and give back to their communities;
we’re helping rebuild a beautiful and troubled country that suffered a horrific
setback.
We need you
to help us help them by remembering to donate. Remember, as little as $25 teaches
one woman to read.
If you still
want to join us for a party, we invite you to come to Tribe MayaFire’s Spooky
Souk fundraiser. The belly dance extravaganza is going to be held on Oct. 24 at
the gorgeous Staircase Theatre in Hamilton, Ont. at 7 pm. If you can’t attend
the Halloween-themed party, know that you can donate online any time or send us a check.
Thank you, as
always, for your love, generosity and continued support.
Namaste
