We started raising funds in January 2009. We now have $25,000 in the bank. We need to raise another $10,000 to start the building of the school. We hope to be able to do this by January 2010. <br />We have teamed up with an NGO in Togo that is meeting with the villagers of Dedeke on a monthly basis. They are learning to form committees. They are being taught banking and budgeting as well as ways to market the excess produce they grow. They are working with them on income-generating skills such as soap making. This way, once the school is built, they will have the means to support it. <br />We are pushing hard to raise the $10,00 so we can start the school. Thank you to everyone who has contributed. <br />Cheers,<br />Natalie Huberman<br />President LeapingStone<br />www.leapingstone.orgUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876509860626774936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12861485.post-59571590131022888712009-07-13T10:43:45.413-04:002009-07-13T10:43:45.413-04:00I'm very sorry for the error Natalie.
