Harald Baldr: NEPAL, KATHMANDU: YOU guys are exceptional. In the week since I posted the first video with Sunil who runs the cancer foundation in the name of his son, YOU guys have sent him $20,000 US!
His foundation is off to a flying start. But since neither him nor I will be in Nepal forever I’d like to make one last effort at helping his foundation raise even more funds.
I am therefore giving a $300 hand engraved Khukri I bought a few days ago to Sunil.
He will in turn stage a little draw with the names of anyone living in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who donates $10 or more to his foundation through his website this Saturday or Sunday.
He will post the winner on his Facebook page. Thanks again to all of you who have helped him out through donations, sharing his Facebook page or sending him and the patients he helps best wishes!
Harald promised that anyone in the United States who donated this weekend ($10 or more) and added some spelling of the word kukri, khukuri, or knife would be entered into a drawing for the beautiful knife he bought in Nepal. Since Hawaii is the last to reach midnight, we will wait to close the challenge until then.
Sunil is scheduled to be back in Minnesota Wednesday morning, so we plan to broadcast the live drawing here on our public Facebook page on Wednesday at 6pm CST, announcing the winner live and also posting the results for anyone unable to view the video.
The outpouring of support, words of encouragement, and financial contributions has been incredible. You are all helping to give these kids and their families so much hope!
