I have received many donations in the last few days. They are much appreciated by me and the schools:
Astronomy Posters – Jeff Lockwood sent a tube full of beautiful astronomy posters. They will look great on the walls of the schools!
Classroom Supplies – Victoria Swaby, a local English teacher, donated some great classroom supplies.

Computer Projector – This is a projector that I bought a couple of years ago and hasn’t gotten much use. I “loaned” it to Xinia to use as she sees fit and she was thrilled to get it. Something that the schools have been asking for since day 1.
