Kathmandu – 10 days left
As some of you may know already, I will be heading off to Kathmandu, Nepal in less than 10 days from now. I’m part of a group from Mosaic Boston that will be partnering up with a relief organization called the “HOPE Initiative”. Our time there will be spent working in the orphanage that HOPE had created for the many children who were displaced during the 10 year civil war that the country endured.
3 out of 7 of our teammates will be in Nepal by this coming Thursday, 2 of which had left early this morning. These 3 teammates will be laying down the ground work and relational connections that we’ll be using when the rest of the team(myself included) arrive by the 22nd.
Before the rest of us leave for Nepal, we still need to raise the necessary funds in order to pay for the plane tickets, accommodations, and supplies that we will be needing for this trip. Currently the estimated cost for each team member is between $2100-2200. For myself, I’ve raised just a little above $1600 and am hoping that the rest will be met by the time I head out. Though each of us have the option of using some limited funding from Mosaic, since the church is still very young and small, I personally do not want to take these funds unless absolutely necessary.

If you are interested in partnering with us financially, there are two options:
1. Sending an online donation to giving@mosaicboston.org via PayPal.Please put down in the memo: “Nepal Project“If you do give via PayPal, please inform me of the dollar amount so I can update my own personal tracking of funds.
2. Sending me a check made out to Mosaic Boston and putting down in the memo area: Nepal Project
