Project Update

Hello dear readers,

We’re so glad that you are reading our blog! And hopefully forwarding it to others! We would love to hear from you, so please take a moment if you care to and use the “contact us” link above to let us know what you think of this blog and our project, and what you may want to see or learn more of.

We are still feeling overwhelmed with happiness and excitement about a tremendously generous donation of $2,000 received recently. It meant so much to us! Each donation we receive, not only makes the dream of building the school closer to reality, but represents a vote of confidence in our efforts and intentions. It infuses us with optimism and energy, and gives us hope for the future of the school and the community of Bakrour and Ganga Bigha villages. This is a good place to mention again that every cent of your donations goes directly to the school, not a penny is used for overhead or administrative costs.

If you’re local (Seattle) and would like to volunteer, we can use your help! We can use help creating a simple brochure for the school that will help raise funds, and someone to contact area businesses and organizations to inquire about donations and about linking our blog to their websites. Please let us know if you are interested.

A nifty PowerPoint slide presentation is in the making, with pictures from our visit to the village in January-February 2007, accompanied with stories from and about the village, and soon will be available to be shown anywhere in the community. Do you have a bunch of friends or family who would be interested in our project? Or, know of an organization that would be interested? We would love to come by your gathering to share the presentation and answer any questions.
