my donation to SKIP

So i've just bought my major donation purchase for SKIP.. bought a MUCH needed file cabinet:


happy to contribute OUR FIRST FILE CABINET!!! :)

this isn't THE one, but pretty much looks like this one... don't have income and am living off of savings, so it will probably be my ONE major purchase for SKIP... we need one for the home office though... (this one went to the office at the SKIP location in Porvenir).

It was about S/.310... which comes out to $100...

we're getting ready for our 700 person dinner.. actually we're thinking of the people who show up, it should be a little less than 600.. which is crazy, but less than 700.. heh.. keep in mind we are an org of about 15 people more or less.. we have a few other people helping us, but we're preparing and serving all the food.. doing the setup, entertainment (I'm spinning fire), and cleaning ... EVERYTHING...

We've already wrapped 170 books for gifts for families (so you may be confused with all the numbers.. there are about 170 families more or less, but that comes out to like 500 children (more or less) and 200 parents...

tonight i'm cutting panetones into 8 pieces

we have been lucky to have donations, so fortunately it's not totally out of our pockets....

it's going to be crazy tomorrow...
