She doesn't know it yet, but we received two donations today totaling $360 from two Stateside women. That brings her total to $7,417 pesos or $586.
How much do we need? GOOD QUESTION! Fran and I will be visiting Miahuatlan or one of the other State colleges as soon as we can get an appointment with an admissions counselor. That should happen sometime in the next couple of weeks. After that visit I will draw up an accurate budget and we will know how much more we need for her to complete the 2013-2014 academic year.
I could be t o t a l l y wrong, but I think a lowball estimate of how much she'll need per year is between $15,000 and 20,000 pesos ($1,186 to $1,582).
We pretty much need to raise all the money she needs for the coming academic year by July, when tuition is due, so we'll feel secure that we won't have to yank her out when she's halfway through. Once that's taken care of, we can turn our attention to 2014-2015.
There should be a donation account set up for Fran sometime next week. I will let you know how that's going. Thank you Leean and Steven for doing the legwork on this, and on the website for Fran which also should be up soon.
