On May 20, 2020, Amphan Cyclone hit the Bengal coast with wind speeds up to 114 mph. More than a hundred people were killed, hundreds of thousands left homeless, and the area now faces billions in damages.
​
I am raising money now to aid those in immediate crisis- those in need of food, shelter, clothing. All proceeds will be donated to the Cultural Association of Bengal (http://www.cabusa.org/). This organization was created 50 years ago to aid families living in West Bengal, based out of the USA. You can donate through this page, or through my charity website, www.kolkatamissions.wix.com/home.
For images of the devastation, please see the following photo story: https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/weather/gallery/cyclone-amphan/index.html
​
Thank you for your help!

[2016]

Hello everyone! I have just returned from India where I was able to oversee the completion of the playground, and I am absolutely stunned by its transformation. I can't even put into words how amazing it was to see it now compared to what it used to be, so please go through all the pictures and videos (attached below). We are still about $300 short, but the majority of the project is complete!
​
I want to just give a massive thank you to everyone who donated,
​
UPDATE (2018): In this past year I have raised $1000 via networking with generous donors and that money has gone to aid the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy! I am so excited to be partnering with this wonderful institution and I look forward to continue working with them.

FINAL PLAYGROUND PICTURE GALLERY
<--
The above video displays the playground at Mother Teresa's Orphange, Shishu Bhavan. I filmed the grounds briefly on my last visit there, and it inspired me to rebuild and restore this area for the children.
The above video displays the playground completed. It was filmed August of 2016, about a week after the construction was finished.

Mural
Here is the full mural I painted while at Mother Teresa's Children's Home last summer, 2015. It's about 6x50 ft and was done over the course of 3 days and almost 20 hours.
