Hello from St. Charles, IL

So happy to report a successful board meeting on Sunday, August 10. We have approved five main goals we wish to focus on in the next year with Dare to Care.

1. We will initiate a new project building a church in Sheshia, Nepal, helping a leprosy community with a well, tools and seeds, and improving their medical clinic.
2. We will continue to support the Serve Life Orphanage in Kathmandu. We have 19 children in this orphanage, 10 of which still need sponsors at $30.00 a month.
3. We will continue to monitor and support the five poor women in their micro-businesses. Two of these women are paraplegic and very needy.
4. We will encourage a group of beaders we have worked with from the brick factories in Kathmandu to network with our beading entrepreneurs in Dandeldhura and teach them their skills.
5. We will also continue to sponsor the function of a ministry that provides food for the homeless and hungry patients at the hospital in Dandeldhura.
   

Dave is anticipating a return to Nepal in October to supervise the building projects in Sheshia. And Dawn hopes to return to Nepal in February for a few months.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us.
