Thanks to all of you and your generosity, we are getting close to completing fundraising on Phase 2 of the project - building a solar electricity run medical clinic in a community without a hospital that needs nearby medical care. We have just $10,000 left to raise to close Phase 2 funding and installing the clinic.

This clinic follows the path of others erected to bring medical help closer to more people.  It creates resilient communities but most importantly saves lives. Yes, citizens have candles and lightbulbs, but especialy with warnings of Tropical Storm Karen, it's time to ensure they have nearby medical help as well.

Tropical Storm Karen is moving north through the Caribbean Sea prompting tropical storm warnings for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands while Tropical Storm Lorenzo formed in the Atlantic Ocean.

This is breaking news and very serious.

Medical emergencies cannot be planned, and we are determined through Phase 2 to ensure safe, easily accessible medical help. Thank you for all your help. We are now near the home stretch. Together, let's make a difference.
