Two months ago we announced the exciting $75,000 matching grant from the Nick Simons Foundation and set a goal of July 1st, 2011, to raise the full $75,000, generating a total of $150,000 for our patients in Achham. With a month to go we are on track to meet this goal, and with your help today, we can far exceed it!
As of this morning, we have raised $71,988 of the $75,000 goal, leaving only $3,012 to go. Given the enormous outpouring of support we’ve received, we’re asking you to help us reach our goal earlier than July 1st. We are setting a new goal of June 21st, 2011. Why this date? Because on June 21st, Bayalpata Hospital will turn 2 years old! Bayalpata is a symbol of our collective commitment to Achham, and of the immense collaboration that Achhamis, Nepalis, and people of a dozen countries around the world have helped to build. This year, please help us celebrate the 2-year anniversary with a commitment for an additional $150,000 for Achham!
So, how can you help? Today, right now, please, take no more than 5 minutes to share this link with 3 friends who don’t know about Nyaya’s work. Tell them why you’re excited about the movement for health equity in Nepal, and how you have contributed towards providing life saving services in Achham. Use Facebook, Twitter, old-fashioned letter writing, or host a party and talk to your party-goers about this work. We’re so close, and hitting the $75,000 mark means doubling every dollar we’ve raised in the last two months and bringing new services to our patients in Achham.
As we approach our 2-year anniversary, we extend our thanks to all of you once again for the support you have provided, and hope you’ll take an extra 10 minutes today to push one step further down our path.
