Latest Update from the Field
Success Story
By Wuraola Ajibade - Challenge Over, September 25, 2009 04:29 PM
We made it everybody. We found a new way of telling our story to the entire world, of increasing our donor base, telling the entire world that good things are happening everywhere. We showed you how you can be a part of it, how a little help from you means the world elsewhere.
We fulfilled our challenge hurdle on September 15, 2009 at 4.03pm by raising $4,034 from 63 people. Our donations currently stand at $5,180 from 84 donors and 99 donations. Stay tuned for updated project pictures
