post these, the first batch are now wending your way. I will post them as they

pictures. When Dave gets his new camera figured out, there should be more
current ones to put up or post. The ones we have are mainly from Meghan Beard’s
and Katrina Nelson’s trips in the last three years, but they definitely
give a marvelous idea, along with the descriptions in Dave’s letters.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-family:Arial'>: MSCA sent $1000 to help finish <b><span

<p><b><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;

style='font-family:Arial'>: MSCA sent <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>247
new soccer shirts</span></b> donated by the Moscow United Soccer Association
– a rave hit there! We sent $1000 to help pay for <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>a wall</span></b> to encircle the school, Osreyda
Madrano, in El Zapote, the village of Don Arturo Bojorge Jarquin (the mayor who
visited Moscow) and to help buy <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>a computer</span></b>

our contribution will be added to money from the Center’s grant and <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>will build a home</span></b> for a family in need in one
of the outlying communities of the municipality. <u>Could you join our effort</u>
to send additional money to help buy <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>computer
software</span></b> for the school in the main village, software which will help
with computer instruction for students, presentations, and demonstrations.
Additionally, we want to raise enough money to help <b><span style='font-weight:

the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Quixote</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
