I
realize I have been asking for donations for the Acupuncture Relief
Project and not reciprocating, therefore I would like to give back.
Each week for the remainder of the summer I will be posting recipes
and drink ideas so you can have healthy delicious meals while
enjoying the warm weather. Also, everyone who donates during July
will receive a small present from me (please make sure I have an
address to mail gifts). A yummy recipe for chocolate pudding is
posted below, bon appetit!
Nepal
is one of the poorest countries and access to healthcare is not
always accessible. During my initial visit to Nepal I witnessed first
hand the challenges this beautiful country faces on a daily basis with
availability of care. In contrast, the US is #1 worldwide in spending
for healthcare, yet 39th in life expectancy. Despite this
disparity, access to healthcare is attainable even for those without
financial stability.
The
Acupuncture Relief Project is an organization that travels to remote
areas of Nepal providing healthcare to those who may not otherwise
receive it. Over the last six years thousands of people have been
treated by this project and we aim to treat 50+ people a day. During
my stay we are opening a new clinic in the Kogate region, an area
approximately 5 hours southwest of Kathmandu. While this may not seem
far by western standards, for this country travel is riddled with
unpaved treacherous mountain roads.
You
can make a direct difference in my experience, please take a moment
to donate. Payments are accepted online (see instructions below) or
via checks made out to the Acupuncture Relief Project**. Please
consider supporting our project by making a tax deductible donation.
Every dollar we collect goes directly to the purchase of medical
supplies and operating expenses of our field clinic.
$20
pays for an interpreter for 10 days!
$50
pays for one practitioner's clinic supplies for one week!
$100
pays all of our clinic expenses for one day!
Think
for a moment about how much impact we can have when we can treat a
120 people for as little as $100.
Please
take a few minutes to watch a short three-minute video posted below
detailing the trials of opening a clinic in a remote location and
insightful information about what I will be doing during my stay.
Thank
you so much for your consideration and time!!

RAW
Vegan Chocolate Silk Decadence
This
is a delectable chocolate pudding made from raw ingredients. It makes
for a totally healthy vegan dessert because it's filled with good
fats. Don't be alarmed that it's made with avocados, when I first
made it I thought it was going to be green and weird looking, but I
needed something raw for a party I was going to. This dish turned out
to be a huge hit. It's rich, delicious and can be altered depending
on taste.

avocados
1
cup pure maple syrup
1/2
cup plus 2 Tbsp. cocoa
