Here is my very much delayed message, but I would like to give one last thank you to everyone who has donated to the Pocket Money Project Birthday Fundraiser! Over the winter break, I had the time to convert the in-person CAD donations into USD. In clearer terms... For example, had an individual donated 20$ CAD, 20$ USD would be donated on their behalf. The difference is usually my way contributing to this fundraiser. The CAD is weak af compared to the USD (does it even lift bro??? ok sorry that's 2 cheezy), so my parents also contributed once again, to help pay a bit of the conversion difference (because I buy too much pizza, sorry Amala 😭). A total of 1025,11$ USD in Pocket Money was donated #forthekids at the Upper Tibetan Children's Village in Dharamsala and also for the students at the Dalai Lama Institute for Higher Education in Bangalore. This was 214% of the goal of $479. NOW I shall leave your IG and FB feeds undisturbed from all of my spamming of great, generous people (but real talk, I know you enjoyed it) until next November... WITH the exception of my great birthday video sidekick Amy Yuan posting some great things during reading week :*... BLESS UP, ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ་ <

DONGDAY NIGHT: A COSTUME PARTY benefitting Pocket Money Project Fundraiser 2016

YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD DONGDAY REQUESTS

You all to come to the 3rd Annual Pocket Money Project fundraiser! This year, we are doing something different by taking it to another level. Costume party themed to align with the halloween spirit to bring out the friendly ghost in all of us. Your donation will help fund PMP's initiative to provide some much needed pocket money to some of the under privileged kids at the Tibetan Children Village school in Upper Dharamsala, India and help them thrive in their school life. This project is also committed to find ways to help the needed "pockets" in the exile community.


BEST COSTUME OF THE NIGHT WILL BE CHOSEN

There will be performances by our local artists as well as friends from out of state joining in to entertain you all for a good cause. Dinner and refreshments will be served. We will have a bar on site and a merchandise table for those feeling a little extra trendy! To end the night right, there will be a DJ mixing the night for some serious dancing with bollywood tunes and top 40 plus.


Entrance: $20 w/ Costume $25 w/o Costume
Time: 7:00PM - 1:00AM
Where: VFW on 114 Mystic Avenue in Medford

Flyer for Pocket Money Project fundraiser on August 27th 2015 in Boston was designed for free of charge by Tenzin Migmar of TibetTech.  

Logo was designed by our close friend and long time Pocket Money Project help, a professional at Game Service Network (GSN) Boston, Joy Liu.  We have also used the logos on all our merchandise.

Thank you each and everyone who have donated and helped out in many ways to make this event a successful one.  

Pocket Money Project, in coordination with Yeshi Dolkar la, (Retired TCV Teacher) and Tenzin Dechen la (ex TCV Student) started PMP South India to help 18 students (currently 12) attending The Dalai Lama Institute For Higher Education with some financial assistance with the tremendous help from your donations.

Team Momo vs Team Shapaley - Flag Football organized by Tenzin Lhabu Mentrul and all these wonderful people. Team Momo won but Team Shapaley gave them a good run for the money - this game with each player's donation, we ended up raising $190. Thank you everyone for being a good sport for a good cause.  Flag Football was held in New York.

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!
