Students will present designs December 13

December 08, 2019

If you can, please join us to see architecture students’ final designs for a sustainable school complex. These projects were informed by travel to Togo made possible by your generous donations. Again, a big THANK YOU for your support. We hope to see you on December 13.

Students went to Togo!

December 05, 2019

With your financial support, I was able to take 10 architecture students to Togo to gather information in preparation for designing a sustainable school for girls. In Togo we met with SHE staff and students to learn about their activities and needs. We visited our building site and the home and farm of a SHE student. We toured the town of Notsé and a nearby village to learn about local culture, history, and vernacular architecture.

Since the trip, students have busy designing the school. If you can, please join us to see their final designs:

$10,000 Raised!

May 30, 2019

I am thrilled that we have passed a major milestone in this campaign, over $10,000 raised, 67% of our goal! We are deeply grateful to recent donors who helped us reach this milestone and fulfill the dollar-for-dollar challenge: Walda, Mandi, Shauna, Brittany, Delphine, Jennifer, Frances, several anonymous donors, and the donor of the dollar-for-dollar challenge, Bill. We thank EVERYONE who has donated over the last two weeks!

 

We are on the home stretch of the campaign, less than a week to go, and with continuing donations we can reach our goal. If you have not given yet, PLEASE GIVE NOW. If you have, please spread the word: challenge your friends and colleagues to support education as you have. THANK YOU!

Halfway There!

May 24, 2019

I am delighted to report that with $7635 raised we are over halfway to our campaign goal of $15,000. A big THANK YOU to recent donors who helped us get there: DKMullin, Maureen, Mike, Karin, the Pleiades Club of Moscow, several anonymous donors, and the donor of the dollar for dollar challenge, Bill. We are grateful to ALL of you who have donated over the last 10 days!

 

We are where we need to be at this point in the campaign, and with additional donations we can reach our goal. We still have $1275 of matching money, so if you give now, your donation will effectively be doubled. Thank you, everyone!

 

With your help we can do this. Yes we can!

 

 

$2500 Dollar-for-Dollar Challenge!

May 20, 2019

I am so excited that we have raised over $5000, one third of our $15,000 goal, AND a generous donor has issued a dollar-for-dollar challenge for the next $2500 raised. So every dollar you donate will have a double impact!

 

We are grateful for recent donations from Tammy, John, Clark, Sherman, Julie, Bill, and an anonymous donor that have brought us up to $5185. And we are especially grateful to the donor of the $2500 dollar-for-dollar challenge. Many thanks to EVERYONE who has donated so far!

 

We are on track towards our goal, but we need continuing donations to get there. if you have not done so, please give now to double the impact of your donation!
