4-11-2008 - Hello to everyone:
I want to take this opportunity to express my \"Thanks\" to all the sponsors of the St. Jerome mission \"Restoring Hope\". This project could not have been successful if it wasn\'t for the effort and financial support of you the parishioners of St. Jerome. The St. Jerome Social Awareness Ministry is committed to serving the needs of the less fortunate while affording our parishioners every opportunity to participate. Words can not express how deeply touched we are that you are willing to reach out to children in Fr. Raj\'s home area of India to give them the hope of a future through education.
Project Update:
There will be approximately 51 children enrolled in the program. We still have a few to verify. To date, $8,589.00 has been received from sponsors. A total of $4,010.39 has been received into the general fund.
Sponsorships for 51 children totals $18,360.00.
Future contributions from sponsors will cover the remaining need of $9,771.00
We intend to use the \"general fund\" to offset costs of running the program and sponsorship assistance if needed. We expect the cost to run the program to be minimal. Most expenses will go toward equipment in India to keep the project running smoothly (computer, printer, camera, postage, etc.).
Our ministry is currently putting together an information packet for each of you. We will be meeting April 22nd to complete. Our intention is to
mail the packets directly to you when finalized.
HELP Needed!
At this time, I would ask you to help us with 2 things:
1. Please send a simple response to me at jsfell@txwi.net so that I can confirm that you have received this information.
2. Please save my email address jsfell@txwi.net so that we can communicate regarding this project.
Again, we truly thank you for you help and look forward to working with you through the 1st year of our project. Please don\'t hesitate to contact
me should you have any questions.
His blessings,
Steve Fell
