In 2018 February Connie and  katch traveled to Pokhara (using their own funds) to represent No Lunch  at Shree Sheetala Secondary School Diamond Jubilee celebration and deliver our support for the year.  While there she met with Aasha and Nisha Sunar and eventually awarded them the 2018 Scholarship.

She has worked with and at various non-profits throughout the decades.  It was working at Harriet Tubman's Battered Women Shelter which drilled into her the need for women to be educated.  Over the years, she worked as a fundraiser for a non-profit housing (Project for Pride in Living), individual artists, and small non-profits. Every election she volunteers with her County's Registrar of Voters to help ensure the election is run smoothly and fairly.
