Project Update

Projects, projects, projects. My head is starting to spin, in a good way, thinking of all the things I need/want to get done. I came into town early this weekend in order to send out emails and talk to businesses about doing things for my school. I have actually priced out blankets for my learners and will be starting to buy them. The winters here get FREEZING at night so I want to do this project as soon as possible. There were 2 blankets that I had narrowed it down to and have made my final decision. Because of pricing and the amount that I have to buy I will be supplying my students with a wool like blanket that appears durable and warm. They are gray and won’t show dirt that easily. There are 256 learners at my school but only about 220 that board there year round. I am going to be buying between 240 to 250. Each blanket costs 39.99 NAD which is equivalent to about $5.00 to $8.00 USD.

I have some extra money set aside to buy a couple of blankets but I do not have enough to pay for all of them. If you donate towards this project a learner will write a letter back thanking you and send a picture along with it as well. Granted, many don’t know English very well so you might get some very interesting letters back :) If you would like to donate please speak to my mom or dad. They will be helping me on that end!
