Me and some of my friends in Colorado School of Mines have initiated an “Engineering for Humanity” project to help Nepali students and community out there in Nepal. I am asking your help and suggestions to move forward. I will give you short description of how we worked: 1. We contacted Kathmandu University to identify projects where senior engineering students can work in impacting local communities. 2. With faculties assistance students wrote 12 proposals based upon provided guidelines (details in website) 3. We students here (USA) networked with other people and raised fund to support a selected project.

Experiences: 1. It is not as easy as it seems to get money out of peoples pocket for a new starter. 2. Learnt how to network with people, 3. Dealt with failures of not being able to accomplish desired goals 4. Learnt to improve and keep on working with new ideas.

NEED HELP 1. We raised $288.69 from first fundraising dinner program and is not enough to even fund for one project. (Expenditure report and other details in our website) 2. If you can donate few dollars that will be great to boost our confidence to take it to the next level. 3. You can do similar thing from your universities or community out there and share your experiences.
