Thank you, Carrie, for submitting a company match for your donation! I had completely forgotten about it, but it just went through. We also received another donation in the past few days... bringing the total cash amount raised to $1,020!
Thank you to all of our supporters!

Beads and beverages
Our fundraiser was a success! We raised $870 for the Makula Fund and other local charities... not including additional proceeds from bead sales, which go to Makula as well. We ALSO received many donated items-- school supplies, bubbles, latex gloves, etc. We have shipped these ahead to Kampala and will be giving them out to kids and agencies next month! Thank you, everyone, for your generosity.

For a good cause
Soooo, one month from now I will be in Africa! After so much talking/thinking/reading mountains of articles, it's hard to believe that it's almost here. This Friday our class is holding a fundraiser to benefit the Makula Fund for Children. This is a great organization that provides support to orphans in Uganda, through school tuition, uniforms, daily breakfast, and medical care. Makula is one of the agencies we'll be visiting and working with this summer.
