Himalayan Children’s Fund News Dear Friends, In case you missed our announcement last week, we are delighted to inform you that our joint effort with Rinpoche’s Canadian and European organizations for the SMD challenge match has more than doubled the original $10,000.00 grant! We offer our sincere gratitude to Lisa Elser of Custom Cut Gems for offering the grant and to the many donors from around the world who responded quickly and generously to the need. Thank you for your kind support. Please enjoy and share the newsletter! ~ Debra Ann
