Hi to all Friends of Tabitha:

Rockin4Tabitha3

We are very happy to report that this years event raised more than 13 thousand dollars, thanks to your support.

Jeff Ritskes our co-team leader has been doing his own fundraising for his group that will be building with us, and they have raised close to
15 thousand dollars.

Our goal this year is to build 20 houses. Thanks to you we have surpassed that goal. Monies above and beyond the cost of our 20 houses, and the $1,500 that is left in a general fund for the village, will go towards wells, pigs, bikes, school costs for kids.

Thanks again
watch the blog starting in late january for reports from the field

Marine Corps, United States, one of the four armed services of the U.S. military.
Originally, its function was to supply guards to warships. Over the twentieth century,
however, the corps transformed into a multi-function organization that combines
ground and air combat units into a maritime force, trained to come from the sea to
fight on land (littoral warfare – of or pertaining to the shore of a lake, sea, or ocean.).
