Greetings everyone!
With upcoming deadlines for financing the first project comes a certain amount of apprehension. We have set a beginning date of June 15th for our first business adviser project to begin and have made a few commitments that are binding. We have not raised this money yet and there are several needs even beyond money.
First, we are still looking for a person to serve on our board of directors. It is my hope that we can find someone who is committed and passionate about the welfare of people on the other side of the world. It is impossible to ask this of someone, but it is a greater impossibility to not to ask when there are such great needs in Badakhshan.
Secondly, we are in great need of documentation such as IRS approval, Tajikistan approvals and other logistics that are a mountain of paperwork.
Thirdly, we are going to need to raise approximately $5,000, (according to my own loose estimate) in the next two months to fund our first project and for the initial training.
With such great needs have come some great friends who are doing what they can and are such a great encouragement. Over the next few weeks I anticipate posting some of their stories of how they are helping the people of Tajikistan.
