With a couple of donations in the past week I was able to get very close to my goal. And thanks to the MU/KU football game, I was able to more than complete the money required for the well. When the Chiefs offered season ticket holders an early chance to buy the tickets last spring, Nancy and I purchased a pair. Little did we know how big of a game it was going to be. So I took the tickets to a ticket outlet and received almost 5 times what I paid for them. Now, I even have enough money left for an additional family well. I have emailed Tin with the news and soon will send the money over by Western Union.
In looking back at this experience, I can just say that I am amazed by the generosity of people. That fact that we could raise this much money in a relative short period of time just speaks volumes about the goodness of people. Starting in September and finishing in November when everyone has numerous expenses, yet still donated is really heart warming.
Although Tin will send some pictures, I promise to take plenty of pictures when Nancy and I return in February 2008.
