Oretha,
It is good to hear from you. It looks like you've made a lot of progress on this social project. Could you tell me more about what's been done so far and what your plan is to make it happen? As you know, I am not able to fundraise for projects that are only a "dream" or that exist as only a proposal on paper. Once something is happening and is documented, then I can ask my friends and people I know to support it to help it become stronger and more effective. That's what's happened with Sampson, Beatrice and Chris's team. I'm sure it can happen with your team as well.
peace, force and joy,
ted
