Staying open for last minute buys until Monday, when I will provide a final statement to close the thread.

 

If any other boardies were thinking of contributing books, please instead wait for skypinkblu's forthcoming fundraiser for another boardie, and contribute there instead.

Hi all

 

The thread closes having raised a total of $3811 from sales and donations, including 3 anonymous donations amounting to $600 independently of this thread (and with one lot selling for a bit less than the asking price listed).

 

 

 

$3811 = Rs 260,414, which I will round up if more is required.

 

Many thanks to everyone who sold, bought or otherwise contributed. My sincere thanks to you and previous donors, who have stayed in touch via pm to provide moral support.

 

Roshni now has ample funds to cover the next twelve months. Without the contributions from all of you, this would not have been possible.

 

I will keep you updated on further developments via Serendip.

 

Meanwhile, over Christmas I will post a series of photographic essays from my recent trip.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my fellow boardies for your efforts, and the CGC boards for enabling this to happen.

 

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all. God bless you, each and every one!

 

Michael

I just want to say how awesome this thread is and the work you're doing for these girls. We often look at our immediate surroundings, and not at those whom we can't see. Giving like this affects the world in more ways than we know. You guys are really making a real impact in people's lives who truly need it. God bless!

[Flex Mentallo]

Just to call your attention to the fact that I amended my previous post. I had erroneously counted the independent donations of $600 twice by mistake, and only realized this when I began to compare my total to payments received.

 

However we have still made our target, and should anything additional be required I will cover it.

 

Apologies for the error.

 

With one payment still outstanding (to be paid in January as agreed with the buyer), the money will sit quietly in a savings account until they request it.

 

I'm expecting that to be around mid-January.

 

Updates as promised in Serendip!

[Flex Mentallo]

Messages of thanks from Luke's parents Rita and Phil. Despite the tragic loss of their son they say that Roshni has given them fresh hope.

 

[Flex Mentallo]

And the usual suspects!
