Friends,
As of last night we crossed the mark to have enough funds for 10 homes with $44,800! Thank you all for the great support. A warm thanks especially to folks like Dave McMurtry, Vanessa Colella, Gold Truong, Gregg Shelnutt, and my brother for passing along my latest email to folks they know and posting my blog info on their websites and blogs. You are truly rockstars!
I came to Tarija on Monday for a meeting here about the next phase of the project and (surprise!) got caught in a civil strike again. Seems vaguely familiar of my first week in Bolivia. I am eager to get back to Villamontes and be part of the construction this week, since we should be prepping to start putting up walls. But in the meantime I am enjoying Tarija, which has a movie theater so I got to see Ratatouille in Spanish. And I am taking advantage of the good internet connections to be in touch with so many of you who have sent emails and donations this week.
Warm thanks and more pictures of the progress soon.
Saludos from Tarija,
naomi
