Dear friends,
Several of you have asked to be kept
aware of any financial needs I may encounter while serving in Bolivia.
As you may be aware, intense rains over
the last few weeks have affected several regions in the North of Bolivia. 29
people have died due to torrential rain and more than 35,000 families have been
affected by the rains and flooding. So bad are the rains that a state of emergency has been declared throughout
Bolivia.
For this reason, the National Honors
Society at Highlands International School (my school!) is working to raise
support and donate items to a community in need (Comunidad Tacana). They are
asking for donations of medicine, canned foods, clothes, blankets and
money.
All supplies and
money will be given to the Rotary Club SAN JORGE, who will take the donated
items to the families who were affected. All items must be collected by February 20th.
If you are
interested in helping, a tax-deductible gift can be made to my personal fund
through NICS. The money will go directly into my account and I will ensure the
exact amount is given to the rotary club for assistance in disaster relief. If
you choose to give, please send an email to jillnjorgensen@gmail.com letting
me know the exact amount, as the information won’t show in my account for a few
weeks.
Thank you so much
for your prayers and support of the people of Bolivia.
Love and Blessings,
Jill
