All the money is IN!

Thanks to everyone who donated! Wow...I really had no idea we could fill the request that fast - and there are still some of you out there who want to give! Here's what you can do. Either:
1. Send a check directly to my mother (made out to her)
Kristine Allen
4711 Decatur Ave. N.
New Hope, MN 55428

...and she will gather all the money and transfer it directly to my account in Ghana. All the extra money I get in this way I'll put towards furniture, mattresses, mosquito proofing, and the electrical work for the dorm (none of these things were in my original proposal - I was trying to keep it cheap for expediency's sake)

2. Donate to another project under "GHANA" - I would suggest donating to the "Art Show" project - or any other Peace Corps Partnership Program project in any country.

Ok...I guess the ball is back in my court. Gotta get to work. I'll keep you all posted...
