OFFICES

Rebecca,
The time they gave us to vacate the offices in the university is over and since you are still working on the proposal which may take abit longer, because that is about funding as we know. It is going to be hard for the organisation to operate with out offices in the next one and half weeks. Am proposing that we rent a small room for about three months where the teachers and children will get us mean while as we wait for the grant to get a better place. This room will cost us about $ 1200 for the three months. I can try to get the $ 200 so you may try to assist us to get the $1000 as we wait for the grant in the next three months. Am sorry to pressurise you but in next one and half weeks we may lack offices and our organisation will be closed. Am also trying to get in touch with ministry of education here for support but it is not easy. Please lets support this cause and all our efforts.Hear from you soon.
