Car Wash Aftermath

On behalf of the India trip students, Jim and Barb, we would like to say thank you to all those that came to the car wash on Saturday September 15th. We are very fortunate to have so many enthusiastic staff and family come support our fundraising efforts for the orphanage. We washed, big cars, little cars, dirty cars, already clean cars and bikes! A few taxi's even dropped by!!!
We were able to raise just over $1600.00 which far exceeded our goal. This money will come with us to the orphanage so we can spend it on the children and the facility. We will make purchases once we are in India from a wish list the children at the orphanage have made. It may be a new playground set, reconstructing the entrance way into the orphanage, or perhaps some new books, toys or shoes. Whatever it may be, we want to be able to give it to them. We will be able to do this this support and donations.

The children in India will benefit from this as we are already planning with the orphanage what projects we will be working on while we are there and what we can spend our money on when we arrive.
Thank you again for your kind contributions.
The India Team
