X-Boundaries has never been only a shop. We have spent more than two decades in places that most travellers never reach, and the relationships built there come with obligations. This page is where those obligations are made public — what we are running now, and what has been accounted for.
Two rules hold across everything here. Nothing is deducted for costs in Singapore, and every rupee and every dollar is published, with the evidence, whether or not it makes us look organised.
Current initiatives
Nepal Flood Private Fund Raising
A private fund raised among friends after the flash flood at Rasuwagadhi on 26 August 2026. Every donation received and every payment made in Nepal is listed by name, amount and date, with exchange rates and photographs of the handovers.
Read the statement of account →Nepal Winter Apparel Donation
Winter clothing for families displaced by the same flood, now sheltering in the Kathmandu valley. It travels as the spare baggage allowance of Singaporeans already flying to Kathmandu. Goods only — no money is collected at any point.
How the drive works →Operation Shangri-La
Twenty years of community-service expeditions in the Tibetan highlands of Diqing, northwest Yunnan — village water systems, classrooms, trail repair, laid alongside the villagers themselves. It continues as Operation Tashi Deleg.
The twenty-year story →How the Nepal work fits together
The two Nepal initiatives answer the same disaster from opposite ends, and they are deliberately kept apart.
| Flood fund | Money |
| Winter apparel drive | Goods |
They do not mix. The apparel drive collects goods and nothing else — no cash is solicited or accepted through it at any point, and no appeal for money appears on its pages or at its drop points. The flood fund is separate, private, and administered personally by Lik Wong rather than by X-Boundaries.
Why any of this is published
A small private effort has no audit committee, no board and no annual report. What it has instead is the record. So the record is the whole point: names, amounts, dates, the exchange rate on each transfer, photographs of the cheques going across, and the mistakes as well as the arrivals.
