Happy January vote! Wishing you and your projects the very best this year.
On Thanksgiving Day 2012, someone broke in to Hopi Mission School in Kykotsmovi Village, AZ and stole all their laptops. Without them, students have little access to technology, research, Internet and essential learning tools. No one deserves to lose learning opportunities and resources because of someone else's hurtful actions.
Reader to Reader is raising funds to not only replace these computers, but to keep them safe in a locking cart and prevent any future theft. If you can, please help me support the children of Hopi Mission School today.

Friends,

I'll keep this brief. Earlier this morning, Mattresses for Congo received a donation that put us past our goal of $50,000.00! What an incredible journey this has been, and it's all because of you. There's no way this project could have been accomplished without each and every one of you pitching in with your love and support.

We will continue to work to see that the mattresses are delivered to all the hospitals by Chrismas. One hundred will arrive by train to Luebo soon, if they haven't already, and mattresses for Bulape, Moma and Mbai, will be shipped soon.

Thanks again for your help in seeing this project through to a succsessful completion.

In His service,
Chas

Friends,

I am writing this a few days before Christmas. The Mattresses for Congo fundraiser to purchase and deliver 375 new mattresses to the historic mission hospitals in Congo has been very successful, both from a fundraising standpoint and from a logistical standpoint. With just a few days until Christmas, we have raised $49,060.00, leaving only $940.00 to reach our goal of $50,000.00. But more importantly, new mattresses have already been delivered to IMCK/Good Shepherd Hospital (100), PAX Hospital (25), and the clinic at the Butoke Orphanage (10).

I received an email that earlier today, regarding the delivery of 100 mattresses to the hospital in Luebo. Luebo was the epicenter of an Ebola outbreak in 2007, at which time their mattresses had to be burned. Five years later, new mattresses are on the way to Luebo, thanks to your help.

Re: Luebo mattresses

Simon called today mainly so that Dr Jean Luc from Luebo could talk with me. They were together organizing for the transport of the 100 mattresses to Luebo.

Dr Jean Luc was overcome with joy for the mattresses. He said that he had already been happy when he heard that there were 100 mattresses just about ready to go for them....but when he saw these with his own eyes he said he was overwhelmed with gratitude and cannot thank you enough in the name of people served at Luebo Hospital. Once the mattresses are on the train he will take responsibility for them. He also said they plan on taking good care of them and being accountable for them. I again asked for pictures and he said they indeed have a camera and will certainly do that. Dr Jean Luc also informed me that it is pretty certain that next year Luebo Hospital will be supported by IMA! What a wonderful and merited development!

In addition to the mattresses on the way to Luebo, mattresses will be delivered soon to Bulape (100), Moma (20) and Mbai (20).

Again, none of this would have ever been possible without your support!

Blessings on you and yours this Christmas season.

Charles

Friends,

I'm sending a quick update to let you know that ten mattresses were delivered to the Butoke orphanage in Tshikaji on Friday, and IMCK/Good Shepherd Hospital received another 125 yesterday. Twenty five of these will be sent on to PAX Hospital in Kananga. You may recall that it was at Good Shepherd Hospital where we saw the little boy sitting on the board.

Below is a translation of an email that I received today; it is only right that the thanks from the people at Good Shepherd be passed on to you :

Bonjour,
The people of Good Shepherd Hospital in Tshikaji would like to thank you very much for the incredible donation of 125 mattresses. We are very grateful.

God bless you and your kindness.

Mattresses for Congo has now raised a total of $47,195.00. We have two weeks remaining to meet our goal of $50,000.00. Online donations can be made at www.crowdrise.com/mattressesforcongo.

Thanks again for your contribution to the success of Mattresses for Congo.
Merry Christmas
Charles
