GNFI Reports on Lasstic Canyon, Haiti and on Orphanage in Mexico

 
Hello to all that support and follow Good News Foundation International! The last month and a half or so have been very good for the organization. People are giving readily and we are happy with what’s going on, not just with how donations have poured in, but with the current projects in Haiti and Mexico.

First off, we'll update you about the Lastic Canyon project. Thanks to all your support we have paid off around $70,000 which was direct costs from the work done last winter. On top of that, there is another $21,000 that has been received for Lastic Canyon, with another $25,000 that has been pledged. So, you can see that the project is well on its way to being funded and completed, but we can’t stop quite yet! We still need people that can give us a monthly donation (see attached letter) that will make Good News a more solid organization. We have those that give $50 to $100 every month, we really appreciate it, and hope to see more ongoing support like it!

Next, the Mexico project... Agua de Vida Orphanage! This place is exciting to go see, the children there seem so happy! At first they are a little shy, but after awhile they will warm up to you, and you will have a new friend south of the border! The newspaper in Yuma had an article on the needs there and directed all those interested in donating to go through Good News. Here is the link to that article,http://www.yumasun.com/articles/andrews-64189-orphanage-yuma.html , please read it! We are gearing up to help them with the new dormitory electrical and plumbing once the building is framed. A Canadian crew plans to start framing the building around November 11th. We are still in need of more funding for our portion of this project, around $4,000 is still needed. If you are interested in helping these poor children have a better place to sleep, consider giving a donation of any amount with the memo "Agua de Vida" and we will put it towards their new building. Jim Victor(Livingston) and Benny Friesen(Yuma) are working together to manage the project. If you have any questions about the orphanage, email us and we'll answer as soon as we can.

Attached is a donation flyer, please use it as you feel lead to and pass it on to your friends that may be interested. Thanks again for your interest.
