My ambulance repair proposal was finally approved! That means that it has gone up on the Peace Corps website, so anyone can check it out and donate if they want to. And it's only been a week, and it's already more than ten percent paid for!! Thank you!!!!
This is the earlier blog post I wrote describing the project initially:
Since then, the village paid for the ambulance to get new tires and for it to be towed to the mechanic in Tenkodogo. Hopefully if I can raise these funds it will be repaired in a matter of weeks! Then we can start the education campaign around the region that will tell people about the ambulance's availability, when you should call an ambulance, and giving them different ways to get in touch with the clinic to have them send the ambulance.
Here's the link to my project on the Peace Corps website:
Or you can go to http://www.peacecorps.gov/, click on Donate to Volunteer Projects, and search anything about me- country, home state, name, anything that you know, and my project should come up.
Thanks for checking it out- and thank you SO MUCH, those of you who have donated. I really, honestly hate asking for money, but this is what my community came to me with as their most pressing need, and I promised to do what I could.
