The Compassion Project
Improving healthcare and education in Tsum, Nepal.
UPDATE: Over 8,000 people have been killed by a 7.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday, April 25. In unthinkable news a second quake hit on May 12.
The Compassion Project's friend Lama Pema was able to fly into Tsum to witness the damage after the first quake. He reports that 90% of the buildings are unlivable and people are sleeping in tents and under tarps. They need water, shelter, and long-term help to rebuild. Please donate to our project; we are working with our friends on the ground to send help to this remote Himalayan valley. Tsum needs our help.
Here are Lama Pema's most recent photos:

Thank you!
Our fundraiser brought in over $3,500 for Tsum. Owner Leala Enflield donated musicians, space, and classes and we joined together to remember Nepal while helping Tsum rebuild.
We are deeply grateful.
