Just seven days before the first project of Together for Afghanistan is underway. So much has happened and there is much good news to report.
First we have accepted the grant application from NGO Lojvar for the first business adviser office. I know it's been up on our website but we were still hammering out the details and it wasn't really real... but now it is.
Second, we are no longer just Together for Afghanistan! We will be changing our names from T4A and Together for Afghanistan TO "Together for a Better Life" or "T4ABLE." This has been in the works for awhile but we wanted to broaden the horizon beyond just Afghanistan to all the hard places in the world where we might have the opportunity to help.
Thirdly, we have applied to the IRS for tax exempt status so we're just waiting on that to come back approved. While we cannnot guarantee that gifts will be tax deductible if we are approved all previous gifts would be tax deductible. We'll let you know as soon as we hear back from them.
I will be blogging from Tajikistan as often as I am able to keep you up to date with the goings on of the project. This week I will lay out the goals and timelines of the trip to make it easy to follow along.
