Thanks from NPT and Buddy Bison for a great 2012! (Video)

Happy New Year! We thank you very, very much for your support in 2012 and look forward to working with you in 2013! Please enjoy this video which summarizes what we have been able to accomplish together in 2012.

We are proud that once again in fiscal year 2012, more than 80 percent of our resources were directly used for our programs. In addition, we received an A- ranking from Charity Watch, have met all 20 standards of accountability from the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance, and are included in the Catalogue for Philanthropy as "one of the best".

Warmest regards,

Grace Lee
Executive Director
