This is what change looks like!

As you probably already know from past posts, the main reason that we took this trip was because we were able to give the school at Amun Shea a gift this year.  The desk seen above is one of 38 that Focal Point Aid purchased this year.  We also were able to by textbook packages for the students as well.  They use these books to study Math, Science, music etc.

In the scope of the larger needs of the school and the bigger issues facing the community these gifts were small ones.  Over time we hope that we will be able to do much more for this school and this community.  However, we take pride in the fact that even in a tough economic year, a year that has seen this generations largest drop in the stock market and the largest increase in the unemployment rate, that people were still willing to give donations to a new unproven charity like Focal Point Aid.

So all of you at home who helped us out, even just a little, take a look at what you helped to bring to these wonderful students here thousands of miles away.  We hope you recognize the difference that each and every donation makes.  

Thank you again.  As we continue this trip and continue our efforts in other parts of the world, we are glad that you have come with us...even if it is just reading along to this blog.  Pass along out greetings to your friends and send them to our website to find out how they can help.
