Money

I have just written my very first money proposals. In fact, I have just written three, two of which were in Spanish and were way tough. I was working with people who only have elementary school education and with my Spanish it was definitely difficult and an interesting experience.

Before I reflect I just want you to know that one of the proposals relies on donations from people in the US. I was hoping anyone reading this could ask their community relations department or have a small fundraiser. Now I know times are tough financially in the world so I am not expecting a lot. 5 bucks would be a great help. Also, I was hoping you could tell all your friends and family that may have businesses or something.

The project only needs about $2,000 more. We are building a water tank to help with the water shortages in the town during the summer months. The total cost is about $7,000 but some material is being donated and the town’s men will be doing all the construction.

TO DONATE: Check out the proposal at www.peacecorps.gov. Click the Donate Now section then search for projects under Costa Rica or my name and follow the instructions.


Thanks very much! Let me know if you have any questions.
