On August 22nd, I will be hosting the 9th Annual John Fox Invitational Golf Tournament. This tournament raises money for the Shree Mangal Dvip Boarding School, through the Vajra Vidya Foundation.
Over the years we have supported 25-30 students at the SMD Boarding School. The children that we fundraise for have lived in harsh conditions in Himilayan villages where they have traveled long distances to live and learn at the boarding school. There are more than 400 children on the waitlist to get into the Shree Mangal Dvip Boarding School because of their hard life at home. Most families in the Himilayan villages do not have roads, electricity, telecommunication, running water, sanitation, health care, or schools.
In a third world country like Nepal, a little money goes a long way in helping these kids discover and learn about the world. The John Fox Invitational Golf Tournament gives me the opportunity to play a small part in providing these children with an opportunity to live a better life.
