Help us out!
I want to take a quick moment to ask your help in supporting the work of another Chuuk PCV and friend, Ben. Ben is in his second year of service on one of the other lagoon islands, and is currently trying to raise money to support the construction of a water catchment system to serve a new church and a number of families in the community. The project is being supported by the Peace Corps Partnership Program. This program provides grants for a variety of community-initiated projects, with the agreement that the community will contribute at least 25% of the project’s total cost. The rest of the money is provided by donors –aka, you!
I’ve visited Ben’s site and seen the location and some of the people whom this water catchment system will benefit, and I know it’ll make a big difference for the community. Ben is expecting to finish his service in November or December, and as of my writing this, they still need to raise over $2500 before they’ll be able to begin construction. I hope some of you will be able to help, even if it’s just a small donation. A little bit of money can go a long way here.

Thanks for your support of PC Chuuk!
