Thanks to Ninah of  Explore Ontario Realtor for donating a cell phone! Please, friends, always keep us in mind as a gently used cell phone is top of our priority list of donated goods!

Abraham picked up the shipment of furniture that left Ontario at the end of August.

Five of our sponsored young men are undergoing Level 2 of their electrician licensing.  We are so grateful to our special friends for financing this!  There will be a three month wait until results are published. Keep your fingers crossed!

In Dekpor, the sports courts on school campus are still under construction. There have been further renos done at Dekpor Central Shops with a retaining wall done at the cafe, a workshop enclosed for the carpentry shop, and the motor workshop partially enclosed.

October's focus has been on the marathon. Unbelievably GREAT news! $34,233 raised this year! We had 15 fundraising pages rolling for the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Get all the info in our marathon album!

Second van-full delivered to the shipper. 30 huge items. Thanks to all who donated — see the list at the start of September because it includes both September and early October donors.

One van filled to the roof taken to the shipper by Carol.

Thanksgiving weekend is being spent prepping a shipment.

Linda made the long, long trek back to Ontario for an extended stay. Carol drove 2.5 hours for an 8 minute, in-person visit! The things we do!

It's been a blur! There was so much going on that we've lost track of the specific dates. In Ontario, fundraising for the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon is in full swing--you'll hear more about that next month. Another shipment is being prepped and it is the type that required a lot of driving, pick ups, sorting, and more finicky packing than usual. In Dekpor, the purchasing of all items for the apprentices was completed, the sports court at Dekpor Basic School campus is in progress, there have been a few jobs happening at Dekpor Central Shops, more street lights are shining bright, the new borehole is hooked into our water system, uniforms are being made to measure, and the work done to improve our school computer lab.
