Trip Update

The trip details are being finalized, and we are getting really excited for May. The dates of the trip have changed: May 22-June 1. We've signed up Josh Callahan, a friend of Seth's from school, to join us. A few others are still deciding, and we hope they will join the trip.

Last week, Seth organized a conference call with Ebou Nyassi in The Gambia, a pump expert in Spain, a representative from a pump company in Arizona, and us. The call was a great success in that we were able to really drill down the details of the damage to the pump and what needs to be done to repair it. The pump company representative is preparing a definitive quote for the new pump, and, prepared with a good estimate, we've launched into full fundraising mode. The goal is to raise $20,500! That's a lot of money, but the project is important, and we are going to do our best to reach that goal. (If you are interested in helping, email me at braeriggins@gmail.com.)
