Now that the official Nepal project team has been chosen, volunteer bonding experiences, fundraising events, and planning meetings have been heavily underway. Last week, the team spent two days volunteering at the non-profit organization, The Boys and Girls Club, in Tallahassee. On the first day, the volunteers opened with a big “Namaste!” and told the kids some interesting and fun facts about Nepal. The second day, the team returned to pass out pen pal letters that had been written to them last summer by the children from the scout troop in Nepal. The children loved the letters from their pen pals and wrote back with some great stuff!
This week, GPE Nepal members have been busy working alongside the fundraising committee to create a Holi Day fundraiser for the Indian festival that celebrates the “good” over “bad”. Members are helping bring information about this wonderful culture to FSU campus and raise money for all of Global Peace Exchange’s sustainable development projects commencing this summer. Students will be able to purchase white t-shirts and colorful powder in order to enjoy a traditional celebration at the event this March! The exact date is soon to be announced.
