OUR VOLUNTEERS

Kham Aid Foundation's work crucially depends on the contributions of our skilled, passionate, hardy volunteers.  Thanks to them, we are able to keep our overhead low and delivery high-quality services to the people of Kham. 

The list below is not complete.  If you're a Kham Aid volunteer and don't see your name listed here, please accept our apologies.  We'll be happy to include you; please send a photo to khamaid(at)khamaid.org.

To everyone who helps the people of Kham: THANK YOU AND TASHI DELEK!!

 

Chris Ausnit (right side of photo) helped us get started in 1997 with a grant for legal assistance that allowed us to achieve 501(c)(3) status. Since then he's been an invaluable supporter, raising funds for Books for Schools and contributing significantly to our wheelchair and midwife training projects.
