Fundrasing!! Please Help...

Hey Family and Friends,

So you just read all about the Bunabuyoka village in my last update and everything we are wanting to do there. Well we need more project funds to meet our goal and help these people as much as possible! As a team we have set up a website where you can go and donate to this project. Please take 5 minutes to go to the page...there are a ton more details of the project and what we are doing and there is a place for you to donate. ANYTHING will help. I have met these people personally and want so bad to help them as much as possible. I also have a link on my facebook page and blog. Encourage anyone and everyone to go to the page and read about the project and donate as much or as little as they can, so we can meet our goal and build this health center and school.
I'll give you one story for a little motivation (we have hear SO many more stories just like this one from families we have interviewed in the village)
So we were talking to a man in one of our meetings, he is one of the leaders in the village. He then began to tell us a story about his 10 children. They all got sick at the same time, he didn't say what they were sick with, but it was most likely preventable and treatable)
One night they all got WAY bad, so he had to get other villagers to help him carry all of his kids down the HUGE mountain and get them to the closest hospital, which is not very close. By the time they were able to get there they had gotten way worse and by the next day every one of his kids died...
He talked about how excited he was for the health clinic, and he knows that as he starts over with a new family that his children will be able to be treated when they are sick and will be okay.
Another lady told us about how she gave birth to 2 of her children in her home (which is tiny and filthy) she told us that she pushed the baby out and then cut the umbilical chord with a razor, then waited until the afterbirth came out and took a bath to clean herself off...

There are SOOO many more stories of the families we interviewed, that are so sad and heart breaking. They NEED this school, and health clinic. They are the happiest, most humble, and most grateful people I have ever met, and we have so much to give them. Even if it seems small to us it is huge to them. They are willing to work hard and do the labor and help get supplies to do these projects, but the one thing they don't have is money. Which is where we come in! I can show you pictures and videos as we build it so you can see the progress of the money you are donating. And I promise it will be well worth your dollar. SO DO IT RIGHT NOW!! :)

Here is the link...and thank you SO much for the help... Building the Future!
