Wow... a breakdown of FAVL donors

| No Comments
Over the years since 2001, coming up to our 10th anniversay, FAVL has received gneerous donations:

  97 individuals (and a few excellent foundations) have donated $1000 or more
  53 individuals have donated between $500 and $999
333 individuals have donated between $100 and $499
380 have donated sums under $100
and 37 people have donated stickers!

In total we finally broke the $500,000 mark, for the past nine years. 

That leaves out dozens of volunteers who have contributed the most valuable resource of all- their time.

So thank you all!!!!  We really appreciate it.    We hope you are satisfied with the results: thriving small networks of community libraries in villages where kids and adults rarely had the opportunity to read quality materials.  These libraries for the most part are visited 50-100 times a day.... that's a lot of reading going on...

I am going to be visiting the libraries in Burkina Faso and Ghana in September, and am eager to send back reports of what is new...
