SUCCESS!!!

Thanks to all of those who were so generous and supportive we were able to reach our goal. I wanted to give a special thanks to the Bayanihan Community Centre for their support, Michael Reid at the Times Colonist, and Selkirk Montessori School - especially the kids in Jhoanna's class. There were a few very generous private donations - I won't put their names here, but you know who you are and thank you so much for helping me acheive this.

Powell Del Rosario with Save Olotayan Inc. in Roxas City will be overseeing the repair of the generator. He has been working hard to complete the last preparations before I transfer the funds. The main one is bringing an independent technician over to get another quote on the project. The last one was done by the Roxas City government. We will be signing contracts on the appropriation of funds and then we will bring back the power, lights and slowly the economy of Olotayan.

I hope my next blog entry will be a short video or pictures of the generator starting up. Thanks again!!!
