Review for BLINKNOW FOUNDATION A NJ NONPROFITCORPORATION, Mendham, NJ, USA
The Blinknow Foundation's mission is to create a self-sustainable living community for destitute children living in Nepal which will provide their most basic needs but also contribute to post-war recovery and peace. In just the last few years it has accomplished a tremendous amount, having built both an orphanage that houses over thirty children and a school that educates over 250 students, most of whom would be child laborers if their schooling wasn't paid for by Blinknow. Maggie Doyne, Blinknow's leader, has accomplished all this on a tiny budget, by soliciting contributions from local Nepalese citizens, by encouraging volunteers from around the world to visit to help out, and by spending over 95% of cash donations on operations. Blinknow's donated funds clearly have been stretched to accomplish the maximum possible benefit. I am a proud donor to this cause, and plan to give much more in the future.
