I am back ready to share more about Fiwagoh, the happenings of past trips, what is currently happening, and what the future holds. This first post of 2019 is to report on the fundraising event I had this past December.
The funds first began coming in this past fall when two of my mom's dear friends, Betty and Marge, both sent generous donations just because they read the blog. Thank you dear ladies. Then from my Etsy sales, other donations, and lots of shopping at my Holiday Fundraiser Open House, I was able to raise much more. My goal was to raise $2000 to supply all the classrooms at Fiwagoh with new chalkboards, whiteboards, and necessary supplies for mounting and use. Well my friends and family did not disappoint. I surpassed the $2000 and now will use the extra for the next project (to be announced at a later date). The funds have been wired and I hope to have before and after pictures at some point in the next month or two (Arfrica time).
I mentioned I had an Open House fundraiser so I thought I would share with you some of my vintage snowmen that were for sale. Really who wouldn't want their own snowpeople family.

I will be posting soon with more information about individuals that I have grown to know and love at Fiwagoh. Until then let me leave you with two sweet things: a Fiwagoh sunset, and a note written to our team last summer by the girls working in the kitchen (one of which I sponsor).
Peace and Joy,
Krees
