Moving Forward Thanks to You
By Ron Brenneman | Project Leader

Thank you to All
We are at full speed ahead right now. With the funding on hand, we focused on finishing the roof structure and then putting the roofing on. We upgraded the roofing to structural grade, which pushed the budget somewhat but provides additional structural integrity and security for our students. We have poured the concrete subfloor, complete with conduits for wiring. Once again we made the decision to upgrade, in this case changing the planned concrete flooring to industrial grade ceramic. Currently we are plastering the walls and putting the finishing touches on the concrete columns.
While our budget is tight, we made the decision to upgrade specific construction components in order to enhance esthetics and longevity, as well as to guarantee the best environment for digital engineering. The additional monies spent now will lessen future maintenance costs.
Next activities are windows and doors, along with finishing up the plastering of the walls. Our students are anxiously awaiting the opening of their Computer Lab.

With deep gratitude, our 2013 Goal Accomplished
By Ron Brenneman | Project Leader

We are so very happy to announce that this first project, Computer Lab for Young Social Entrepreneurs, is now fully funded. A heart-felt thank you to each and every one of you, our partners.
This will allow us to put full effort into finishing up this lab for use by our students at the beginning of the school year. We will be sending out frequent reports as the construction begins.
This is our first challenge project with GlobalGiving. For those of you with recurring donations, we will request clarification once the holidays pass by. Please be assured that any "extra" funding would go to the internal partitions within the lab itself.
Thank you for making this happen. We wish each and every one a blessed New Year, filled with happiness for you and those you love.

We are very happy to announce that your contribution was instrumental in getting us past the first hurdle. As of today we have 41 donors and the total amount of contributions is at $5,060. This means we are a GlobalGiving partner and have gained a permanent position on their online fundraising platform. Thank you all for this first huge accomplishment. Your donation made the difference.
We continue to prepare ahead in order to move forward quickly once the Computer Lab budget is obtained. The success of this project on the GlobalGiving platform allows us to be bolder in this respect.
In the short-term we can improve our exposure on GlobalGiving by gaining just nine more supporters. We would greatly appreciate you inviting a friend or family member to join with the team. Once we reach 50 donors, we move up in ranking, which will open the pathway to successful project completion.
Thank you for making this happen, and welcome to the team.
