Caluco School Re-build Update!

Help ESNA meet our goal by raising 4 thousand more dollars to complete our part in obtaining an essential matching grant totaling $311,595 which will rebuild the earthquake-devastated primary school in Caluco, El Salvador.

ESNA first reported on this amazing opportunity last month. Since then, with your help, we've been able to raise $12K of the $16 needed by August. To learn more about this amazing partnership with Caluco and "Fondo de inversion social para el desarrollo" or Social Investment Fund for Local Development, visit: http://esnavillages.org/Caluco%20School%20Project%202011v2.pdf .

Please spread the word, and remember that every little bit helps! To donate online, visit: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=esna&id=1
