Completing donations phase!

Hi everyone!

We've raised $956 so far, which is more than enough for the new library materials we had originally intended to purchase.  The extra money will go toward new shelves to house all the new books!  This is so great, and we really couldn't have done it without you!

Just think, every time a little kid at Pacaja picks up one of the new books and discovers the joys of reading, it will all be due to YOU.

At this point we're going to stop asking for donations, although Erin will still continue with the 4th grade fundraiser (mentioned in a previous post).  Stephane's sons Alex and Matthieu are interested in organizing exchanges within their middle school as well.  We're also hoping to set up some sort of pen pal program between all of these children and the children at Pacaja, so that each side can learn about life in another country.  We know the kids (in the US and Guatemala) would all benefit from an experience like that!

Once we wrap up the school-based fundraisers, we will work with Angelica to purchase all the awesome new library supplies for the awesome kids!  And of course, we'll keep you updated every step of the way.

Thanks again!!!!
