We did some calculations and each of us need to raise a minimum of $500. Each of us can do this! Some have already done so.

Ideas for fundraising:

Donation Cans for loose change (made by youth to be placed at school or local retailer)
Monthly $25 dollar contribution (August 1 is upon us, did you send in anything?)
Each of us get 10 other people to donate $10 (I had a co-worker of mine already put in a week ago)
T-Shirts (Tania has an associate that has an AMAZING line DRC Clothing, it is brilliant!)
Regional Dinners/Banquetss

I got important fundraising materials from the EC Chairman Dr. Martin Kabongo, MD, PhD which includes, if and when you need any of these materials email me (tshilumba.kabongo@gmail.com)
