Misc. Personal Donors to raise the rest 25,000.00 Bz.

Note: No funds are promised as to date for this Phase. We could use your help. Also as to work crews; we have appreciated the ready responses so far. We will be needing from 5 to 8 volunteer workers each week for this new Phase. At present we have no crew lined up for after December 11th. Please let us know how you can help us. We need to work together in this project for homeless families. Imagine your house blown down or roof off.

Note: There are still more villages beside these that at this present time are in serious need. This raises the possibility of Phase III, if no other groups help in those villages.
Also note: At present houses are being built by the Spanish Lookout Mennonites under the oversight of James Yoder's Group. The Pine Hill Mennonites have built a few houses on their own in Indian Creek, and they have expressed a desire to help us build in Silver Creek. Also the Holderman Mennonites are working with NEMO to build a few houses; these are completely separate operations.

Let's continue being open to working in these areas..
