A huge thanks to those who have committed to help Doreen attend university. The university will distribute acceptance letters in late May or early June. We informed Doreen yesterday that we had some contributors and she struggled to control her emotions as shown by her ear-to-ear smile and teary eyes.Thus far we have committments for:£10 plus proceeds from car boot sales, etc. from 2 lovely wee girls (Aillidh and Roisin) in Scotland and their mum25% of the total from a wonderful family in Michigan25% of the total from a generous family in EnglandWe need more contributors to guarantee Doreen's 4 years of university. There are a couple of my blog subscribers who are very generous and good-hearted people that I haven't heard from yet..... hint, hint.....Since contributions will be in US dollars and British pounds and exchange rates with the Ugandan shilling fluctuate, the simplest mode of payment will be to me (via Paypal, check/cheque/cash) and will be wired from my account to the Uganda Christian University's bursar's office prior to each semester. Danny and I will supplement any shortfall in the totals each semester.Updates on Doreen's progress will be sent to all contributors on a regular basis.
