Looking to the Future! Bird Education Nepal

As I sit here in Yosemite, feeling the chilly wind blowing in from somewhere far away, but on the same Earth, I am reminded of the migration of birds. Here in the Yosemite Area our days are full of school and work but we feel the connection we share with our friends both feathered and human on the other side of the planet. We are working to make sure that the work we have done to help students and birds connect in Nepal continues through Bird Conservation Nepal and are excited with the updates we get from there.

Exciting news here is that we have started a fund and awareness-raising campaign through Yosemite Area Audubon Society www.yosemiteaudubon.org and Balanced Rock Foundation www.balancedrock.org. With these efforts we hope to meet our goals of making Bird Education Nepal a sustainable program, continuing the Bird Watching Club model that we created these past two years. We will update through this blog and look for our link to appear on Balanced Rock's web site soon. (You can check out their other fabulous offerings while you are there!).

Thank you to all who have supported this successful project in all ways!
