Seriously close...

July 6th, 2008 (written by Jason)

So it has been an incredible journey to get where we are today. I have been asking, begging pleading and what not. But today I am happy to announce we are almost there. This e-mail I received just the other day that informed us how close we are. Here is the e-mail in almost its entirety.

Hello Jason,

As of June 9th, I had deposited $2,000 in the bank for Pachela School (NGO). Just this week, I received $2,152 in several checks, and before that, checks for $1000, $100, $100 and $3000. I’ll try to make a deposit later this week and send a summary report to you and our Donations Committee...Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

John H.

FOL Treasurer

This is huge news for us and we are so excited to say that we are just $148 away from being done with the fund raising portion of the project. It is a great place to be in. I am so pumped and it has all been because of all of you back home. So if you have been waiting to make that donation, now is the time. Even if it is just 20 bucks. That will get us about 1/7th of the way there. So here is that information again.

Make checks out to Friends of Lesotho. Memo line can say something like
"Pechela-Samuelian". If the checks are already made out with a different
memo line, just have them include a brief note explaining what the checks
are for.

Mail them to our Treasurer:

FOL
c/o John Hollister
4110 Denfeld Ave.
Kensington, MD 20895

I will post some more pictures of our progress and what has been going on at the school with the remodel. It is going really well without getting into all the details of it.

So anyway, we will talk to you all later. We do love and miss you all.

All the best,

Jason
