Fund Raising Update

Just wanted to give a quick update on the library. Thanks to all who have donated up to this point - your generosity is greatly appreciated. Really I've been quite overwhelmed with where a lot of the donations have come from. Family and friends have gone way above just throwing some money in and people who I didn't think would remember me much less care about something like this have also given. In these tougher times I understand it's no small gesture. I'll make sure you're rewarded with many good pictures of where that money went and some hard work ensuring the books are put to good use.

$3,230 have come in online and another $800 have come in via checks in the mail. That's a total of $4,030 with another $1,520 remaining. All help getting the last bit will be just as appreciated as the help getting the first bit. Actually, donations from here on out might be appreciated more. I'm running low on donation sources so money is especially scarce and valued at this point. Someway or somehow it'll come, I'm sure. Again here's the link:

A library with no books!

Other Volunteers do a good job of incorporating Swahili into their blog. I think I'm going to start trying to do that. Here's my first effort: Asante sana tena! (Thanks a lot again!)
