Dominican Republic Water Project
The fundraising for the Dominican Republic Water Project has been a success.  As of today, we have raised almost $21,500.  Our goal had been to raise at least $15,000. The people of La Cumbre were so inspired by the amounts raised even as of early May, that they that they have already started working on the project. While the costs will likely be more than $15,000 (as expenses always are) this has put La Cumbre in a great position to accomplish what they want and need as they continue to work tirelessly and they will know that CHS stands by them and will continue to stand by them
If you would like, you can still continue to donate and help us to raise awareness! http://dominicanrepublicwaterproject.mydagsite.com/home  
Thank you CHS community!
