The Ground Breaking in Tarija!

I have begun funneling the early contributions to Vincente at Educacion y Futuro.  At this point, he has $5,000 in his account. (Altogether, we have raised a little short of $8,000 toward the $11,000 goal.)  I received this message and photo yesterday afternoon:



 "Buen dia Robert, tengo buenas noticias : hoy dia por fin iniciamos los trabajos !!! 

Este trabajador se llama Rider y es un obrero muy cumplido, ya hemos trabajo con él, lo conocemos bien. Los otros obreros recien empezaran el lunes. 1er trabajo: limpiar el patio y retirar 15 centimetros de tierra"

 

Loosely translated, Vincente is saying:

"Yo Mama is a Smurf!"

 I jest, I jest!  It's more like:

"Good news--today we began with the work.  This worker is named Rider.  He's very accomplished in his profession and we have worked with him before.

The other workers will start on Monday. The first order of business--cleaning up the patio and removing 15 centimeters of earth."


So, it is happening.  Assuming that we can raise the remaining $3,000 - $4,000 dollars (and you can send your *tax deductible* donation here:  Donate via Lantern Projects), Vincente believes that the building (with sixteen beds) can be inhabited by the end of November.

EDYFU Shelter Project: Goal Met (and then some)!

Image
 Hey, Kids! So, we've done it.  (You have done it, Vicente and EDYFU have done it, we have done it.) From our initial target of $11,000 to renovate the EDYFU shelter for homeless girls in Tarija, Bolivia, when then upped the ante to $14,000 in order to build a much needed security wall. Shiera, Sephie, and I visited the project last weekend, and are pleased to announce that the work is well under way.  Gail of Lantern Projects and I have already transferred $6,700 to Vicente and EDYFU and the rest will be wired in about a week's time. This is not the most profession or engaging of videos, but for those wanting to get a sense of what things like like at the shelter, and/or what the early work looks like can wade their ways through this 14 minute look. Now the big news...we have surpassed the $14,000 goal and as of last night, Lantern Projects has collected ~$18,500.   For this reason, we are declaring the fundraising over.  A new sixteen bed building will be avai...

With Great Sadness, Affection, and Respect: Vincent Danhier (1962 - 2022)

Image
      This is not the announcement that I had hoped to make this month.  This was supposed to be the time where I announced to a community of kind and generous people that their donations, big and small, had accomplished what we'd hoped they would, and that the work on the sixteen bed shelter had been completed.  And, in fact, the final touches are being made and the hope is to have these beds occupied by needy homeless girls within the next few weeks. However, I have received word that my friend and a source of great inspiration (and the founder of Educacion y Futuro), Vincente Danhier, died on the 28th of January.  He had been hospitalized on a few occasions with acute pancreatitis, and it was clear that his condition was becoming more serious. In my last exchange with Vincente--about a week before his death--he wrote of making it back to his native Belgium in order to access more advanced medical care.  While hospitalized, he also contracted the Cov...

Progress...Progress...Progress..

 So, on Friday Shiera, Sephie, and I are headed to Tarija to drink some high altitude wine and check out the progress on the EdyFu construction project.  Lots of details to come. Fundraising?  Looking pretty good.  Our final budget looks to be pretty solid at $14,000 and as of the other day, here's where we were: We are getting close, but we still have a ways to go. So, please--if you've been considering donating, you could really help this get done.  (And not to sound greedy..but ya know...if you have donated once, there are no state, federal, global, or universal laws to prevent you from doing so again.  Just sayin'...) Vincente has also sent a few photos and I thought I'd share them with you here:                       Roofs that don't leak are...good!                         Rufino the Painter is....painting!   ...
