Woo hoo!! SO thrilled - Maggie & Lindsay, you are a dynamic duo! We are all touched by the special role Hima plays in the "girl effect"!
This makes me so happy!! Way to go Lindsay Brown!! You are PRETTY AMAZING!
For my senior project i would really love to be able to donate clothing or shoes or blankets or anything else to be able to help the kids. Do u accept these types of donations.?
Dear Kelsie,
Thank you for thinking of the Kopila children and your generosity to donate clothing, shoes or blankets.
Blink Now Foundation is no longer sending clothing from the U.S. so that we can support the local Nepali economy, and in particular women's businesses, in regards to the children's textile needs.
If you were thinking of sending gently used clothing, you may want to consider having your own garage sale with the proceeds to benefit the Kopila Valley Children's Wishlist.
We'll have many more ideas for how you can get involved with Kopila in the future, so I recommend signing up for our newsletter to be in the know about these events. You can sign up here: http://blinknow.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e1b027157d211614f47768485&id=765a23f049
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us. Someone's answering emails every day of the week! info@blinknow.org
With Warm Wishes,
Mamta

Hey - guess what! Lindsay and the Kopila girls were seen on national TV last night!! Last night NBC broadcast the football game between Notre Dame and UMichigan; on one of the breaks they showed a little film about Notre Dame, and right in the middle I realized that I was seeing the Kopila girls soccer team!! And there was Lindsay! It was brief, but there they were! In the middle of a major football rivalry game, broadcast in prime time on a major network -- Whooo-hoooo!!! Way to go!! Please let the girls team know! (And I bet, because Notre Dame is doing so well, that they will be broadcasting future games at prime time with this same film again :-)
So exciting!!!
Yes, I saw that too and I was impressed!!! It kind of hit me right in the middle of the game. Wow.
