With an upcoming expedition on the horizon, we want to share this adventure with you. As we prepare for one of the biggest trips any of us have ever embarked upon, we feel committed to make it serve a larger purpose, and ask for your help.
As exciting as the journey is for us personally, we have decided to use this trip as an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the region. The Himalaya (or the “abode of snow” if literally translated from Sanskrit) is home to the world’s largest mountains and some of the warmest people we have ever met.
The dZi Foundation (www.dzifoundation.org) is an outstanding organization making a difference in the Himalayas, by appropriately and prudently improving the lives of those they assist. Through considerable research and meaningful personal connections we feel the dZi Foundation is doing some of the most effective and innovative work in those regions. The dZi Foundation works primarily in Nepal, and through identifying communities’ specific needs they implement lasting solutions. Many of the projects focus on access to education, clean water and sanitation.
To quote the website, “All projects are community assessed, determined, and implemented — this ensures high levels of local contribution (occasionally exceeding eighty percent of total project costs) and local investment in long-term maintenance.”
We encourage you to visit the website and see the unique work they are doing: (http://www.dzifoundation.org).
Our request is simple:
Please consider joining us in making a contribution to dZi Foundation. Our goal is to raise at least $1,500 for projects that will directly impact some of the most impoverished communities in the world.
Please contact us with questions, or if you would like more information about the trip or the dZi Foundation. We understand these are lean financial times and if making contribution to dZi is not a reality, we appreciate your good wishes.
Thank you for your support and consideration,
Andy Tankersley, Mark Fisher, Todd Passey, Kim Havell
