GlobalGiving challenge

Once again, to all those incredibly generous family members and friends, a million heartfelt thank yous. We did quite well on the latest GlobalGiving challenge ending up in 4th place. Our results were:

177 unique donors
US$24,085 in donations
US$10,860 in GlobalGiving matching funds
US$1,000 in GlobalGiving bonus funds
US$35,945 raised in total

These funds should really help us with the content and quality of the meals the kids are currently getting and help with medical expenses. Hopefully, we will be able to get a small second hand truck. This would be a tremendous asset for us. Eventually, these funds will also help with adding to the number of kids we already assist.

Carpe Diem.

  1. Well done Bert. Nothing like helping others when you are suffering yourself. You are truly a "mensch." A wierd mensch, but a mensch nevertheless.
