| Support for Developing Communities
Ever since the inception of CREWC, we have had the intention of connecting with developing communities for mutual support. To this end, we try to post initiatives with which we are personally familiar. We have no financial interaction other than presenting their descriptions and contact information for people who are interested in supporting them. These listings meet the following criteria: Sri Ram Our founder, Katherine Willow, has been involved for over two decades with an orphanage, school, and clinic in Northern India called Sri Ram Ashram. She spent a month there in 1997 with her family, and two months later started CREWC after inspiration from Sri Ram. Sri Ram runs a school for hundreds of local children who would not otherwise have the opportunity. Its orphanage takes care of its charges like a large family and visiting there is heartwarming. The clinic is free to local residents and is staffed by volunteers, often from North America (i.e. Katherine spent her time updating the physical exams and nutrition for the orphans). There is also a spiritual aspect so that visitors can take part in meditations, talks and singing. You can find out more by visiting their website: Donations are tax deductible. Thich Nhat Hanh |
