Traditional Healthcare is a charity established by our very own Natasja Sproat, as a way of providing sustainable healthcare to people without access to hospitals and doctors. Their pilot project in Datom, India, is close to finishing - however they need more money to put the roof on the clinic and finish the sustainable herb garden. If you are unable to make it, please consider donating to this great cause, every dollar gets us one step closer. Donations can be made via the website, or attend the event on June 3rd for a night of music and dancing.
