Clean Drinking Water Project Part 2

Last week we reached the goal of raising $11,229.00 for the Clean Drinking Water project in my village! Support for the project was amazing and I am thrilled to know that so many people want to help with this cause.

Due to the fact that I have met my financial goal my project is no longer available on the Peace Corps Donation website. However, if you are still interested in helping provide Clean Drinking Water to communities of Suriname there is another project that still needs funding.

Caroline H. is a fellow  Peace Corps volunteer in the sister village of my village. Originally from Georgia, she is a 10 minute boat ride away from my village. Her village has the same population as mine and is also in desperate need of clean water. She is working very hard to raise $11,000 in order to buy 45 Durotanks ( 400 gallon rain catchment tanks) for her community.

For more information on Caroline's project please visit: https://donate.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=donate.contribute.projDetail&projdesc=568-139

The Peace Corps donation website may be down for system updates during the time period of December 20th - 30th. If you have difficulty accessing the site, please try again after the New Year.

Thank you for your help with bring Clean Drinking Water to the communities of Suriname!
