Doug,
We have received your generous donation to our Katrina Rebuilding Fund, and
all we can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
I promise you that every penny will go directly to helping school children
in a proud but devastated community in Mississippi. More than 60% of the
families in this community live at or below the poverty line, and many have
lost everything, from clothes to books. Their school was literally blown
away. They are now attending shared classes in a nearby school (in shifts)
and will soon have FEMA trailers to use.

Our goal was to raise $25,000, and to purchase and deliver the items most
needed as determined by the community. So far we are close to half of that
goal. We've purchased classroom televisions, clothes, cafeteria equipment,
books, stationery, and other AV equipment. Those things are now loaded on a
trailer, and next Sunday I will be leaving PA with 5 other volunteers and
driving/delivering the supplies that you've helped to buy.

Doug, your willingness to reach out, to give, and to have faith in us, have
touched us all, and mostly me, in a very profound way. God bless you!
Scout
