www.SurvivalBlog.com "Jim, I am offering a challenge for
your readers. I will match dollar for
dollar all donations made by your readers to Anchor of
Hope (through the Linda Rawles Memorial Fund)
up to a total of $20,000. If they
will respond, we can raise $40,000 for Anchor of Hope Charities.
So that you know that I am serious about this, I am sending my
donation of $20,000 to (AOH) today". – An Anonymous Donor
UPDATE: On January 5th,
2010, Anchor of Hope received a donor check in the amount of
$20,000.
Contributions provided through this FUND are being used to move
forward with 2010 plans to build a Boarding School at Anchor
Orphanage. Blueprints have been completed, and work will
progress once the rainy season in Zambia has passed (March). The
boarding school will serve two purposes. One, it will allow
paying students to attend school at Anchor and those funds can
then be used to support daily expenses for all that attend
school there such as food, books, and more. Two, it will allow
our little orphans to integrate with other children.
My sincere thanks to the more than 220
www.SurvivalBlog.com readers that have thus far contributed
$12,692.43 to the Linda Rawles Memorial Fund. Some of the
children benefiting from this fund can be seen below.
