We’ve been amazed by the generosity of donors.  The need in East Timor right now is critical and we are using donated funds quickly to get help to people as fast as possible.  We value all donations large and small.  If you are able, please donate at www.spenditwell.com.

The gratitude from the people we’ve been able to help has been overwhelming.  We received a video clip today from one of the villages we visited thanking us (while standing knee deep in water) – they said we were the only ones to help them so far.

Thanks to everyone whose donations are making this possible from the Spend it Well team – Simon, Nandy, Balkis, Kris, Agostinho and Napo.
