Project Update

This project, has, by chance, and seemingly of its own volition, acquired a name:

Women Project Nepal

Currently, I'm working with Sunny on a short documentary film, about the Astha Women School, with video footage and interviews we shot during December 2009. I will post it within 2 days.

Also, I'm holding a special potluck gathering next Saturday, 7/16, at Happy Cake Cafe, where we will be screening the film and showcasing the hand-crafted, organic bags that are for sale to benefit this school for women and girls in Nepal. Its a great chance to drink good coffee and chat with awesome people, check out a cute local cafe and bakery, and support women and girls here and around the world!

The other good news, of course, is that last week money was sent to the Astha Women School. The principal, Parbati, wrote me a super sweet email upon receiving the donation, thanking me with "~**LOVE**~" and encouraging me to

~keep up this movement of helping women of the world~

Here is an excerpt from her letter:

"Thanks and god bless from all the students of Astha Women School… its touchable work to all of Nepalis women. You are in USA, a long distance, but we are hand in hand… After sometime we also going to do productive work in school for our long-term survival…"

Long life and good fortunes to the people of Nepal, and to us all,

Sadie
