In February I sent out an email which mentioned two projects that I am working on here in Antigua. The first is Camp GROW (Gaining Respect for the Outdoors and the World) which is a joint project between my organization the Gilbert Agricultural and Rural Development Center (GARD Center) and the Environmental Awareness Group (EAG). The second project is a library project for Pares Primary School.
Serving in the Peace Corps has been such a remarkable experience for me in so many ways and these projects represent a small fraction of the work that the Peace Corps and our local community counterparts are trying to accomplish in Antigua. Namely, promoting literacy and providing safe places for young people to learn and play.
In order to get these projects off the ground, I need your help. If you can donate to either project, that is FANTASTIC! If you’re not able to donate but you are willing to spread the word to your friends and family members about these projects, that’s GREAT too! Also, if you work for a company that matches employee’s charitable donations, please keep that in mind when making your donation. We don’t want to miss out on those matches, do we? =)
