30/05: Will You Raise the Roof?
Our last blog entry showed the construction workers of Wunlang Clinic walking on the roof beams as they readied the building for the roof trusses. They're still waiting. Field director Angelo Ngong Kiir has sent us the latest expense report for this project, and we are about $10,000 short.
Our treasurer, Ron Moulton, writes, "This is an urgent need, since clinic construction work has stopped until more money is available to pay for the remaining materials (including the roof) and the labor to finish the project. Although we are short of money, the total cost is still very reasonable for the benefit the village will gain from this clinic." And we are very close to finishing this project, a three-room clinic whose total cost will be $60,000. Even though we build in a remote area, our construction costs are always reasonable. Our field staff bargains hard to get the best prices from local workers, even as we strive to provide local employment at fair wages.
You can make your donation via our web site. We use Wainwright Bank's on-line system, and every penny goes to us. You can also designate where your donation will go.
Paper checks still work, too! Please make your check payable to Village Help for South Sudan and put "Wunlang Clinic" in the memo line.
