Dec. 2019 Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following fundraisers, even if still valid and ongoing (such as the UWC fundraisers), I am no longer associated with them. I quit COMMITTED<\/a> the Summer of 2018. I have NOT been involved with UWC Nepal also for over a year. That is NOT to say you shouldn’t support either of them. I am just saying that I am no longer associated with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
