Fundraising

Hello again,

As you may be able to tell from the increasing frequency of posts, I have gotten in the rhythm of updating everyone on things here a little bit better. I've also got a newer, faster internet that allows me to make posts in under an hour (and a computer that doesn't die on me) !!! :)

I thought I would dedicate this post to talking a little bit more about my ongoing fundraising efforts. I feel that the Lord has led me to stay here for another two years, which means He is going to provide all that I need and more in order to live and work in the community!

My current fundraising goal for September 2010 to August 2011 is $36,000. The breakdown is $10,000 to buy a car and car maintenance and $26,000 for all of my living expense.
