Nasrine Gross's Kabultec -- the organization we support each year for couples’ literacy in Afghanistan with our dinner and silent auction — has just been accepted into www.givology.org.  The site allows anyone to donate to the organization (and others, including the Kakenya Center for Excellence, which we also support). A blog with a 60-second video of Nasrine speaking about her work can be found here (or go the site and search for Kabultec):  http://www.givology.org/~joycemeng/blog/2129/.

Don't forget to contribute to the orphanage donation campaign of this year's 7th grade session 2 class (which will continue into May). The drop-off point is downstairs in the RE administration area. Thanks to those who have donated so far. Please e-mail me (annettecedarlane@spamex.com) if you wish to get a tax-deductible receipt for your donations, and include your address so Nasrine can send it to you directly. Here is Nasrine's wish list. --Annette Scarpitta
