Bus:
We need a van (32 seater bus) …for picking up our children. Our school is separated from the community by a very dangerous highway…our kids can not cross it by themselves. We need this bus (this picture is of our dream bus!) to bring our children to school safely. At least 40-50 children are not attending our school because we lack this safe transportation. Please donate to this worthy cause!

“Thank you Joy2theWorld!” Women clients of the micro loan program were given an opportunity to “win” a Bucket to take home! The word spread like wildfire that those who arrived to the Open Forum early would be included in an early raffle draw. Thanks to generous online donors and matching donations from J2W, 45 buckets were raffled to an audience of over 125 women in attendance. These precious buckets provide a “faucet” (spigot), easy access to wash hands and faces at home.
Raffle drawings provided the fairest approach to distributing the buckets to the crowds. Ten tickets called at 10 am (those early arrivals at the meeting), then again at 11:30 a.m. and noon.
