We decided against registering for any physical gifts given our future living situation is unknown. Currently, we're both in the process of wrapping up our personal belongings, Monica has an apartment in Seattle and Raju has a house in England. Furthermore, we plan to settle in the DC metro area but we are not sure where (house or apartment) or for how long.

The ideal gift would be to help us celebrate and get this marriage started in the right direction. We would prefer donations in our name to one of the following charities:

Already we have had a £100 donation made to VEGFAM, and through Oxfam we have 100 trees planted, a month's teaching bought, 100 school dinners bought, safe drinking water purchased, a market garden planted, a farmer's plot irrigated, and a 10% share in a mango plantation bought in our name. It's a great feeling to know so many people will benefit from our happiness.

If however you prefer to give something directly to us... we will have some major expenses coming up such as buying a car and finding a place to live, any help will be appreciated. Please earmark your contribution as you see fit and we promise to use your gift wisely.
