Estimados Amigos, May 1, 2009

As most of you know, we (and that includes many of you) have been helping Leonardo Arce to attend the University of the Valle de Mexico, Hermosillo Campus, where he is now entering his third year in the school of architecture. Only two years to go! He remains at the top of his class, and is very appreciative of the opportunity he has been given. We continue to believe that this is one of the most worthwhile of projects in which anyone can be involved.

Leonardo (Nayo) is finally beginning to see some scholarship funds coming his way. He will be provided with about one third of his tuition for the summer semester through the University. We hope and believe that he will receive at least the same for the fall semester. this means that we will still need to raise about $12,000.00 to get him through the coming year.We are very aware that it is a tough time economically (for all of us). Nonetheless, we urge you to continue your support to whatever degree is possible. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel.


Thank you all for your continued support.
