Project update

It has been a while since we have updated everyone on our work activities, so that email will be coming in the next few days. But first we wanted to let you all know about an important opportunity to become involved in our work with the orphanage children here in Bulgaria.

We have recently been approved by the Peace Corps to start raising funds for our project "A Healthier Future for Children" through something called the "Peace Corps Partnership Project." The idea of the project is to raise 25% of the funds in our Bulgarian community and 75% of the funds from our family and friends back home. We have successfully raised the 25% here and are now looking to you to help up raise the rest of the funds needed for the project. Many of you have expressed the desire to support us in someway in our work here- and this is the best way! All funds can be donated online, are tax deductible and will be used to create a strategic project to improve the quality of life for the at-risk children we are working with.

Please check out our project description and online donation center at:

If you have any questions about the project or advice for us as we begin our work, please don't hesitate to contact us!!
