Peace Corps Partnership Grant, NEED YOUR HELP!!!

The Peace Corps Partnership Fund has accepted my community's proposal to renovate the community house. I have mentioned a few times that this was in process and that I would let everyone know when it was accepted, and now it has been! The community house has survived high magnitude earthquakes and torrential rains for more than 2o years but the roof no longer will hold out. The center is usuable in the dry season, but the other half of the year, it is not. So this project has contemplated in it everything from repairing the roof to painting it and buying chairs and tables for the community to use, as well as community announcement boards that I am very excited about.

The way the Partnership fund works is that Peace Corps publishes our project online, and lets everyone who wants to donate to it do so (tax deductibly). When the total has been reached, they send us a single check to execute the project.

You can find the Partnership page here:

Or, you can go to www.peacecorps.gov, go to the donations tab, then "volunteer projects", and then search my project by Homestate:SC or country: El Salvador.

If you know any friends or families or collegues that might have interest in helping out, feel free to mention the link to them. With a bunch of families donating a lot or a little, I feel confident that we will reach the goal and finish the project.
