Please Donate to the Red Cross Garden Fund!

Friends and family, please find below the link and directions to donate to my grant to build a garden for the Red Cross Sefhare Stimulation Centre in my village.

The garden, in addition to helping provide healthy and nutritious meals to the orphaned, vulnerable and disabled children that attend the Centre, will enrich the Centre’s pre-school curriculum by allowing students to learn about nutrition and gardening first-hand. Furthermore, Red Cross plans to supply community rehabilitation clients (specifically those who are terminally ill, bedridden, or are severely disabled) with bundles of vegetables each week to provide them with fresh produce to improve their health. Red Cross will employ permagardening techniques to construct and maintain the garden.

Building a garden will help the Red Cross increase its capacity to provide quality services to disadvantaged members of the community and continue to provide quality pre-primary education to children in the village.

In order to begin implementation, of the project, I must raise $‎629.82 amount from friends, family and other interested donors. Any donation, no matter the amount, will help. If you are interested in donating, please follow the directions below:

The easiest way to donate is to visit www.peacecorps.gov/donate and search by the project number, PP-15-637-001.  Although the web site is the quickest way to make a donation, you may also make a check payable to Peace Corps Partnership Program and send it to:

Paul D. Coverdell Peace Corps Headquarters
Peace Corps Partnership Program, GGM
1111 20th Street NW
Washington DC 20526

Be sure to indicate the project number, PP-15-637-001, on the check so it will be applied to the correct project.  Please note that due to security procedures, checks sent to Peace Corps via regular mail can take up to 4 weeks to reach their destination.  We strongly recommend donors to send check payments through an expedited service such as FedEx or UPS as this will dramatically speed up the delivery process.

Also, if you’re looking for ways to make your donation go even farther, check with your employer to see if they have a matching gifts program; many companies match donations dollar for dollar. 

Please share this post! Thank you.
