Progress in Bolivia… Thank you !

Dear Uniting people,

Thank you so much for all those who have started supporting us ! Now we need you more than ever, as we intend to finish off the works in the next 3 months, if all goes well and the money comes. Here are some photos of progress… I will post more soon as I am flying to Bolivia this coming Monday…

It is hard to imagine what it takes to succeed such a project in isolated villages in Bolivia… the long hours, the partnership with the community that has been helping out, the ongoing work with the municipality financing half of the infrastructures costs… Local power actually changed 4 times since the beginning of the project! So every time you have to start over with new representatives! Last yearI was myself blocked during a night in the car with the whole team as roads had been blocked by social movements.

After finishing the boarding school, the work will go on in a comprehensive approach: micro-credits, health, food self-sufficiency, incentives to create businesses… but more on that later! Thank you to spread to word and tell your friends to unite… soon you will wee beaming children able to go to school thanks to our united efforts.

100% of all donations is going to Bolivia, nothing stays here for administrative costs as they are very reduced and covered by special sponsors…
