Jyotish Star May 2015 On behalf of Sarita Shrestha, MD Ayurveda
|
| On behalf of Dr. Shrestha, we want to first thank everyone for the immense love and support expressed for her personally, and for her beloved ancient city and country, as the Nepalese population now faces the deep and painful challenges in their recovery from such a devastating earthquake. Sarita's heart is full of both grief and gratitude. A week prior to her arrival at MMC last Wednesday (2 days before the quake), she was in rural villages giving healthcare to 300 villagers a day, in the very area at the epicenter of the 7.9 quake. You cannot imagine how this feels for her to know those villages have likely been completely destroyed. And, we do not yet know if her other clinics are still standing. The Growing Edge is a 501(C)3 California non-profit organization I founded in 1993. We have been supporting her work and clinics since 2,000. One hundred percent of the funds that we raise from her programs in the US go directly to The Devi Ma Kunja, her NGO in Nepal. Those funds have been supporting her clinics in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur, the development of a small rural out- patient hospital in Sipadole, and the many "health camps" in a variety of rural villages she continues to trek into each year. Without these funds, she would be unable to do 70% of what she does! The Growing Edge is mobilizing an effort to raise whatever money we can for her to take back to Nepal, as soon as she is able, to help with medicines and relief for survivors of the quake. All donations are fully tax deductible. If you are able, please be generous. Though all the major aid agencies are also mobilizing funds to help, she will personally and directly oversee whatever money we can raise and be able to determine how best it can be utilized. Right now, money for medicines and food are most on her mind. We can use other kinds of help too! Please pass this email on to the many others whom you know care and appreciate Dr. Shrestha's contribution to the Mount Madonna and Bay area communities as well as the Ayurveda community around the world. We are a hands on, low tech organization and appreciate all the support you can offer. Checks must be made out to The Growing Edge and are fully tax deductible with a receipt. They can be mailed to: The Growing Edge 445 Summit Road Watsonville, CA 95076 With deepest gratitude, OM Kay (Savita) Brownfield Director, The Growing Edge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarita_Shrestha Christina Collins Biography
