Tomorrow (04302016) is my birthday and boy have I had such an amazing birthday month. As many of you already know, every year I ask all my friends and family to donate to my favorite children’s charity in lieu of birthday gifts. This year I have chosen one of my favorite organizations, Pocket Money Project.
Pocket Money Project promotes economic independence for some of the under privileged kids at Tibetan Children Village school in upper Dharamsala, India by providing a network of additional financial assistance to help them thrive in their school life. This project is also committed to find ways to help the needed "pockets" in the exile community.
Pocket Money Project holds a special place in my heart because both of my parents attended Tibetan schools growing up in India. Both my parents are refugees and grew up in poverty, when I told my mom about Pocket Money Project the first thing she said to me was, “I wish this was around when I was growing up.” Your gift will go directly to the children so they can buy snacks, school supplies, or maybe even a new toy. (These kids love soccer)
I would like to end my birthday month with a bang and raise $500 for these children. I am asking all 421 of my amazing friends and family here on Facebook to donate $5. $5 is around 330 rupees in India and if all 421 people donate just $5, we will raise 139,821 rupees for these amazing kids. I am going to start this off by donating $50 to Pocket Money Project, I hope you will join me smile emoticon
Thank you!
