Passionate About:

On April 25th, 2015 Nepal was hit with one of the strongest and worst Earthquakes the world has ever felt. Thousands of innocent people were killed and even more were injured. Entire villages were wiped out and people left without homes. Experts and geophysicists predicted that Nepal would someday feel the wrath of mother nature due to it's geology and architecture, but I don't think anyone was prepared for this. I mean we are talking about innocent, good people who didn't stand a chance in the face of mother nature. The ones who did survive, need our help to restore their everyday lives. I am setting out on a mission with an organization by the name of Conscious Impact to go to Nepal to work with locals to help rebuild homes and restore community development. I am prepared to help and service in any way I can to give people hope to live on. Humanity must unite to meet this challenge through serving others as this is how we gain universal peace, harmony, and happiness.

I am 24 and I work at a global, logistics company as a Pricing Supervisor. I love sports, excercising, reading, biking, and socializing with people. Now, I am certainly happy with who I am, what I do, and where I am going. But I always felt that I could do more to give back to the world and to people who need it most. Something that has a lasting, life changing impact to any one person. Even if it is just one person.To me, this would be my greatest accomplishment as a human being. I have accomplished many things in my life I am proud of, but I have never given back to humanity in this manner and at this magnitude.

The purpose of this fundraiser is to gather enough money to pay for the materials and supplies for the rebuild project. The money would also go towards my flight and accomodations in Nepal. While I currently make a decent salary, I do require financial assistance in order to get out to Nepal. I live in Hoboken currently and my expenses on rent, food, and other necessities have made my budget extremely tight. I would greatly appreciate any donations however small or large they are, that can be made towards this mission of global impact and self fulfillment.

Thank you all!.

Fundraising Campaign Message

Thank you for your interest, compassion & continued support! With the generous help of donors like you, we are able to continue our work towards sustainable rebuilding solutions in rural Nepal communities. Every donation, be it $1 or $1000, is deeply appreciated and helps our work continue to grow. We are currently working in the village of Takure, located in the Nawalpur VDC of Sindhuaplchok, Nepal. Of the 241 houses in Takure, all but 1 house fell in last year's earthquakes. This area of Nepal was completely devastated and we believe Nepalis needed access to sustainable, earthquake resistant, and affordable building materials. Access to building materials in rural communities is in general very limited, thus rather than supplying materials from Kathmandu which would eventually run out, we wanted to provide a way for this community to rebuild using materials they could produce themselves.

Your donations are used to support our projects such as operation of the Takure Training and Production Center where we currently house the production of Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks, a sustainable, alternative building technology developed by Auroville Earth Institute in India. We have been producing earth blocks (CSEBs) since December 2015 for the purpose of rebuilding the local primary school. In April 2016, we will finish producing bricks for the school (approx. 16,000 bricks) and continue production for other projects in Fall 2016 such as a community center, tool library, and homes.

This Training Center will be a resource hub for people in the region, to access trainings on alternative building methods (earth blocks, rammed earth, cob), a tool library for locals, and the continued production of CSEBs. We will also teach and train people on building with bamboo and eventually would like to offer a method for bamboo treatment.

We invest in the local economy by using available building resources like locally grown bamboo and repurposed stones from collapsed buildings. We also provide food like rice, beans and vegetables purchased from local farmers to our volunteers and local staff. Your support makes every aspect of our work possible!

Please share word of Conscious Impact with your friends and family - and consider joining us as a volunteer in Nepal! Write to us if you have any questions at consciousimpact.nepal@gmail.com. Namaste!
