Marty here from franks, he had great news about the red cross matching our donations so far:
==============
Through this list and particularly Marty's efforts we have so far
raised $15,000. ........37 houses.

Through other sources we have an additional $12,500
promised......31 houses.

As we passed the $20,000 mark, we petioned the international Red
Cross to at least match the funds raised so far.

Today, they have agreed to match the first 50 houses by donating
$20,000.

We now have committed funds for 118 houses. 82 to go.

If we can find a way to raise an additional $12,500 (32 houses) I
have high hopes that I could persuade the Red Cross to fund the
remaining 50, using the same principle of matching what we raise.

That would make 200 houses.

can we do it ?

I will be down in PG with Marty and Peter thursday PM and friday,
and we will post pictures. I will also ask Marty to give his own
update on his return to Cayo.
