We have a team departing for Zambia on November 4th, and I am looking for to so many things.
During this past month's fundraising furor, we have raised funds for travel expenses, construction at the Orphanage site, and child sponsorships. To include all the commitments not yet collected, we have raised nearly $17,000 for construction costs at the Orphanage and child sponsorships.
For this round of funding, we only have about 1,200 bricks to go. It has been encouraging to see so many people come together for these kids.
We will be funding construction of another home in November and December, $10,500, furniture for the home at $3,500, and will be seeking sponsors for the remaining children.
As of 10/29/08, we still have 8 of our 19 children that are not sponsored. We currently are spending approximately $85 per month to care for each child, and our sponsorships are either subsidized by GO! from our general fund, or in some cases the child is sponsored twice. Our sponsorships are $50 per child, per month, with a one year committment.

Blessings!
