School Improvement Fund - Needs Money!

Update:  The project has been fully funded.  Thanks!

Hello!  I'm posting this for a fellow Peace Corps volunteer who lives in a village 12km from Ouahigouya (my town).  She's very close to having her grant funded and needs only $243 more dollars to fix a school building roof and start a school garden.  Please read below and follow her instructions if interested.

If you would like to donate to my project (see below), Please DO IT NOW!!!!! There is some urgency in this project. It is to repair our school building’s roof. During a storm in June (we got a couple bad wind storms this summer), the wind blew off the roof. Since then, the community, having no extra material, was only able to smooth the existing roof out and put rocks on top to weigh it down. But there are holes still in it. Therefore, every time it has rained this summer, water gets into the school and does damage.  I spent the summer writing up and submitting the grant in order to get funds to fix the roof. So now all is left is to raise the money…. That is where YOU come in…. please DONATE NOW, if you are able and willingly to donate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO this is my desperate plea …..

Also, we have to plant the garden within the next month…. SO, this is another reason to raise money quickly!

Of course, every little amount helps… so if you can donate, whatever amount… it would be appreciated. Follow these simple steps: REMEMBER!!!!! EVERY DONATION IS TAX-DEDUCIBLE!!!!!!!!
