| Building a temporary medical clinic |

| distributing food and supplies |
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in World Fair Trade Day on
May 9. We had a great turnout! We partnered with The Sacred Circle in
downtown Staunton and donated 10% of all purchases from both stores to
the Nepal earthquake relief efforts, specifically the rebuilding of the
Baseri Medical Clinic.
The
Baseri Medical Clinic was opened in 2010 in a remote area of Nepal
where healthcare was essentially non-existent. The clinic was
completely destroyed in the April earthquake although, thankfully, there
were no casualties. Our donations were sent directly to the Baseri
villagers to help them build a temporary replacement for the clinic and
to restock medical supplies.
If you would like to donate to this much needed effort, please click here.
Nepal still needs our help! To help with getting food, temporary shelters, and much needed supplies to Nepal, please consider donating to these relief organizations.
Thank you for your support!
