Global Action Coalition

Hi, I'm Rob Rowen, and I'm raising funds for Global Action Coalition, an organization committed to fostering social justice and equity on a global scale. The village of Hathibang in the south of Nepal needs help creating a cottage industry to sustain their existence. They have asked me for 300 fruit trees. This will create work for families. We are looking at kiwi, cherry and orange trees that will grow in their location. The cost for a tree is only $2. Imagine how much fruit one tree can produce and multiply that by 300. Please any amount will help. I have already gotten donations for 162 trees. Can you spare $5, $10 or $20 to this program? Remember $20 is 40 trees. These trees will live for many years producing food and a livelihood and it is just an easy way to help these people. The people of this village, the Chepong have lived the same way for thousands of years living a subsistence life growing rice and millet. They usually run out of food during the year and people have learned how to go into the forests to find edible foods to keep their families with food. Children there average 2 meals a day at best. So you can see your contribution will make a difference. 100% of all donations will go to buying trees or transportation of the trees to the village. Global Action has no employees or anyone taking a salary. Please share this and your help is so greatly appreciated. Rob Rowen, President, GAC

Imagine you are sick and to get medical help you have to hike for 8 hours through the mountains to get to a road. Then you have to find a ride to the nearest hospital which could be half a day trip. I am sure that would be something you could not fathom. The area in Nepal where we are working has a village called Chandibhayang, which has almost 3,000 people within a short distance. It is time to create a clinic there. Global Action Coalition is working with a medical university there and other partners to do that. First, we will bring the doctors and nurses to the village for several days of a clinic with the goal of making a permanent small clinic with regular doctor visits. We will need medical supplies and drugs for this project. Join us in this necessary endeavor. Would you be ok with a family member not having access to medical diagnosis and treatment? Let's give these people the same opportunity. 100% of funds received go to the project; we have no employees, just volunteers. Rob

Last year one of our Board members traveled to Shivamoggi near Bangalore, India. She went to a hospice center run by Catholic nuns and a priest. It was a run-down building with few beds. The Diocese there is committed to helping the underserved community by having a place to die with dignity. Global Action with friends from the Indian community of Greenville and our Board Members have committed $25,000 to renovate buildings and have money to support having the right drugs so patients can die pain-free. In India women and the poor do not have a place like this. If you have had family members who have passed away through Hospice you know it is a blessing. Please help us give that gift to these people who cannot find a peaceful end otherwise
