Financial things

Thanks to all of you, I've collected $13,727.03 in donations as of May 20, 2011!  I spent $10,000 for the roof (actually estimate was over $11,000) and I am using the remaining funds to purchase things for the school that are not easily used up, that are long-lasting, and that benefit many, as I spelled out in my project summary. I want all of my donors to see exactly where their donations are going so here is a breakdown of expenditures on this entry.  As a reminder, my husband and I are financing my trip and expenses so none of your donations are going toward volunteer expenses.
