Thank you.
Thank you for making a difference. Since the opening of our library in July of 2010, we have continued to work hard to make positive changes to improve education at Dekpor Basic School and better the living conditions for the people of Dekpor.
We couldn’t do it without you! We are a small group of highly dedicated volunteers, but we can only do our work because of the ongoing support we receive from generous people like you.
We value your trust. We are grateful for your support. We are committed to making every dollar count.
Thank you for giving.

We are so thankful for the generosity and support of the Rotary Club of Aurora!

Her school class also purchased and sent books, and included personal dedications in them for the children of the village. Yes, it takes a special person to choose to travel all the way to Dekpor! Sonya has taken part in our annual fundraiser several times and is a generous supporter herself!

We are so grateful!
