Mother's Day Status...we are at $500

May 18th is a special day at the Orphanage as we will be honouring Fatoumata's 30 years of looking after Orphans and abandoned children. The celebration will include 5 baptisms including our baby born on Valentine's Day "Little Frank". Major Provost has graciously offered to host it as his home.

Folks have been asking what they can do to help. We have the cake covered as well as Fatoumata's dress. If you can find it in your heart to pitch in a "toonie", we can purchase balloons, decorations and some special morsels to kick off the day in style.

It is a one time "luxury" in which we simple want her and the children to take a break and simply enjoy the day.


Thanks everyone for continuing to walk with us. We have raised $500.Only $1,100 to go.
There 18 days left. We can do it. All we need 40 people per week who agree to give $10 and we will hit our goal. Please walk with us.






Salut !

Un petit mot pour vous dire que j'arrive de l'orphelinat pour assister à partir de vos contributions. Du $290 amassé, cela a permis de donner 120,000 F CFA dépensés comme suit:

70,000 = 7 jours de condiments (10,000 F CFA / jour)
30,000 = salaire des trois assistantes (10,000 F CFA chacune ($22) / mois)
18,000 = savon à linge / vêtements
2,000 = paye de la 4e ménagère attitré au lavage sur une base quotidienne
------------
120,000

Bon weekend. Votre geste des plus généreux est grandement apprécié par Fatoumata; elle vous remercie grandement
