Summer is here and so far so good. In these long hours of daylight, I have found many ways to keep myself busy. And in just 5 short days I will be with Mom and Ellen in London!
But before I leave for London, one big thing needs to be accomplished. My PCPP grant needs to be filled. I am $288 away from my goal! Any amount of money you are willing to contribute to this worthwhile and deserving project is greatly appreciated!!!

More information about the project and the Peace Corps Partnership Program:
For much of the past year, I have been working towards the implementation of computer literacy classes in my village. I wrote a Peace Corps Partnership Proposal to fund the first 6 months of classes. How does the PCPP program work? Volunteers write proposals and once they are approved, the projects are posted online. Friends and family back home can go online, donate to the project, and receive a tax-deduction. The volunteer's project is funded and those who donate receive a tax-deduction. Its a win-win situation for everyone.
The first computer class was held in March. Throughout, the project has had its fits and starts but to see the women go to class 4 days a week, several hours a day and work hard, makes everything worthwhile. The women have learned the ins and outs of the entire Microsoft Office package, blogging, as well as other personal and professional development activities.
If you would like more information, please send me an email and I would be happy to supply you with the full proposal!
Edit: The PCPP has been fully funded!!! Thank you to all those who donated. It means a lot to me and the women!
