We've done it, but let's go the EXTRA MILE!!!!
---
THANK YOU!!! We have officially PASSED our $1000 fundraising goal for Rukia's home in less than a week since press time!!! We have raised $1120 as of today and I am almost falling off of my chair! Even though you guys never let me down, the generosity of the Manitoulin (and friends) community still BLOWS ME AWAY!!!!
---
Since we've had such a GREAT response, we've decided to keep donations open and make a new goal of $2000. There's a good reason for this. Not only will we complete the house and furnish it with comfy beds but we'll also be able to build them a proper toilet, a chicken house (kuku hut!!) complete with chickens, but ALSO, we'll be able to fill up their old house (soon to be their new kitchen) with all of the cooking supplies they need to carry on the way they deserve!!! There will even be enough left over to start a small business for Rukia plus pay for a short business training seminar and leave her and her family completely sustainable!!! This will be doing so, so much more than simply putting a roof over someone's head!!! Yes, we are going to give them some fish, but we are also going to teach them to fish at the same time!!!!
---
We will be breaking the big news to Rukia tomorrow too!! Unfortunately I am in Nairobi so I'll miss her reaction but we have a wonderful Norwegian volunteer (Mona) right now who I'll ask to capture the big event on video plus document every step of the process with an abundancy of pictures!!!
