The "matching funds" donation total is now over $4000 and there are still three weeks left to go until the September 15th deadline....it looks like we have a real chance of making the goal of $5000 (which then turns into $10K)!

Hopefully we can meet, and even exceed the goal....the dream of having a functioning medical clinic at the school for use by the children and the folks from the surrounding community is getting closer to becoming a reality....any monetary assistance that you can provide would be much appreciated.
