Ear Aid Nepal:

Hi all you amazing EarAidNepalnz donors,

Thanks so much for your recent contribution to the EarAidNepalnz cause - it is very much appreciated.

Between all of you, I'm almost at the point of being able to book the international flights to Kathmandu for mid-2016. We still have the small costs of internal flights to Pokhara, as well as the future 2018 campaign to fundraise for, but your generosity has made for an amazing start to 2016!

For those of you based in Auckland, you may wish to consider the Fundraiser Cinema Event coming up on Thursday 28th April in Devonport. Showing the 2015 blockbuster "Everest" at 7.30pm.

Tickets are normally $25pp, but at this stage I have put aside 10 tickets for existing donors at a price of $17.50pp. That breaks down into $15 to the cinema ($5 for complementary ice cream, drink or popcorn) and $2.50 for Nepal.

This $2.50 can buy one SolarEar rechargeable battery which can power a hearing aid for up to 3 years. If you don't want your complimentary item (included with the ticket) then that $5 overhead cost can go towards Nepal as well.

With the fundraising proceeds of the cinema event, I hope to buy several of SolarEar's solar chargers which they have generously reduced to an amazing price point of at NZ$35 each. The hearing aids have the same level of discount, and SolarEar has said for the rechargeable batteries that I purchase for Nepal, they will commit to a free replacement battery in three years time.

Thanks again for your help with this project, and I hope to see some of you on the 28th April!

Cheers

Nathan
