It's not about the Yak Wool!

As I look over previous posts I see the many ups and downs of this project. 
We have collected over 100 boxes of books.  
In November of 2014 we sent our first shipment only to receive it back a couple months later. 
Then the devastating earthquake in April and we needed to send support more than books. 
Now have successfully sent one shipment of 38 boxes of books. They arrived safe on 1 November 2015. 
Our new shipping company sends the shipments air freight so it is much faster and more reliable.   The cost to ship 1 box is approx.  $100Singapore dollars. 
We have 70 more boxes to send! 
We will have to sell a lot of shawls to raise that much money.  Please consider making a donation to send at least one box.
I am privileged to work with so many generous people on this project. 
The work in Nepal is moving forward helping those in need on so many different levels. 
Thank you for your support.
