Holy windfall...!

So many people responded after my last email - I can't begin to thank you all enough! Something just occurred to me...there might be more of you out there wanting to give even when the amount I requested is filled. If you go to the Peace Corps website and you find my project filled, or no longer there - WAIT! If you donate and I've got all the money I've asked for, Peace Corps will donate it to their "Global Fund." This is all well and good, but I'd rather you wait and let me find another way for your money to get to MY kids in Nakpanduri! More to come soon...
