A couple of great things have happened in regards to the project... I have been able to meet more people through my job, whom have become instrumentally supportive. Additionally, ideas for fundraisers have come out in the open and will be occurring before the end of the summer. As far as the funds are concerned; although I am not deliberately seeking out funds for the project at the moment, money has still come in. A few supporters have maintained reoccurring financial support and even the largest single amount has been received. This is good news but demonstrates the importance of a timely move for an account.
In the last couple weeks I have had the opportunity to speak at a couple places to present the situation. Nearly 2 weeks ago I was able to speak at a church council meeting, and even more recently I spoke at a Lions Club meeting. I am trying to schedule these opportunities in order to speed this project up. The suggestions, financial support, and kind words have all been encouraging.
A friend of mine (Rachel) had the opportunity to travel to Ghana a few weeks back. Knowing this, I
was able to send a suitcase to the Orphanage, as well as my friends at the Organization in Ghana. She is currently there trying to help with our school project since I gave her a list of items that would hopefully get figured out. Not long ago she sent some pictures to confirm her arrival and the delivery of the suitcase, which was great to see -thank you Rachel! I sent a photo album which is seen in the picture to the right...
