‘Morning! or Good Afternoon, Good Evening, etc. depending upon from where you might be reading this.I just tracked over to
Naomi’s Givemeaning ANK-fundraising site as I do every once in awhile to check on its progress. I saw, this time, with great happiness in the seeing, that the amount collected had increased since the last time I’d looked and now stands at $2,157. We’re getting there.
I keep thinking about that anonymous donor, whomever that kind soul might be, and how they said that They
Will Double Whatever Amount is Collected By Mother’s Day, May 11th. With that promise in mind,
we now are only $343 short of Naomi’s target goal, assuming that someone/s will contribute that amount, sometime in the next two plus weeks. ($2, 157 + $343 = $2500 times 2 = $5000.
Yes, I am a math whiz from way back, thanks for noticing!).
But even more fun, to me, is the thought that whatever dollars over that amount people would be willing to donate, especially if it’s before May 11th and so, which dollars would thus have twice the clout, that they will be like
"gravy". I keep hoping that somehow, miraculously, possibly even thousands and thousands more will be added before the 11th. I’d see that as representing an even greater
affirmation of our appreciation for the truly exceptional work that Action Now: Kenya has done for our entrepreneurs ** not to mention our deep and terrific hope that life go better for those wonderfully persevering people who serve as their clients.** If you've followed the
Mark Agwonah threads, you know that ANK staff members, possibly singularly, out of all the Field Partners, often accompany their clients to help them make their purchases, to accomplish their interim goals and that ANK is among the very most consistent and prolific in providing journal updates of their borrowers.
