Just having fun & tossing around logo ideas. I’m getting pretty stoked ’cause our departure date is getting closer everyday! Also, we now have an instagram account! Expect many pictures to come. Check it yo: @withinbikingdistance

some contagious smiles from folks at the hospital 🙂
Right now on Watsi, every dollar donated to Possible (our medical partner in Nepal) patients will be matched by a generous donor to help fund the expansion of their hospital in Nepal, ensuring no patient’s life will be put on hold by a simple injury.
This campaign is only going on for ten days, so be sure to make the best of it while you can. Go to http://exposure.watsi.org/tiny-catastrophes to learn more.
As always, if you enter the Watsi site through https://watsi.org/welcome/within-biking-distance/within-biking-distance your donation will be tracked in our campaign. If not, that’s cool too. We just want you folks to help folks. 🙂
Watsi gift cards are now available!
Super simple stuff: Purchase a gift card for $5 or more. Give it to a friend, relative, enemy, whoever. They then pick out a patient on the Watsi site to donate the gift amount to and get a update (with photos!) on that patient once treatment has been completed.
This is one seriously great birthday, holiday, randomday kind of a gift to give.
Enter the site through https://watsi.org/welcome/within-biking-distance/within-biking-distance if you want your donation tracked in our campaign. If not, that’s cool too. We just want you folks to help folks. 🙂
This little guy, Samir, was one of the first patients I wrote a profile for. His bio and picture were then uploaded to the Watsi site, where his treatment was soon funded by people like you. Check out his profile here
They say time is money, and since many folks don’t have spare cash, donating your time can be a great alternative when trying to do your part for the world.
One simple way to help people through Watsi (even if you’ve got an empty wallet) is to volunteer your time to be a patient profile writer. Each patient featured on Watsi has a short bio about them and why they need medical treatment funded. These little profiles are written by Watsi Storytelling Volunteers, using information straight from the medical partner.
If you’ve got a bit of spare time during your week (no matter the time of day), you could become a Watsi Storytelling Volunteer as well. Check out the opportunities here, or get ahold of Watsi’s Volunteer Coordinator by emailing volunteers@watsi.org.
Likewise, if you haven’t got much spare time, but do have the funds, donating even as little as five dollars can really make a difference in these people’s lives. Go to https://watsi.org/welcome/within-biking-distance/within-biking-distance to view patients and send a donation for folks currently in need.
