Pakistani School Security Improvements

While the Pakistani government has seemed to have lost interest in forcing us to get all of the original updates completed right away we're still making gradual progress in complying with their demands. They've switched their focus to forcing illigal refugees to leave the country and the Talaban seems to have quieted down in our area. Thankfully all of our students who are children of refugees are in the country legally and are not in fear of being sent out of the country. As a result we're no longer in as much danger as we were a few months ago. That's not to say work has stopped we're just doing it at a lot slower pace than what we were doing initally.

The rush to get the initial improvements completed has left a hole in the budget that will continue to be felt long after all of the required improvements have been completed. While we intitally published the security improvements would cost us $6,000 the reality is that when all is said and done it will have cost about $17,000, that's $17,000 worth of funds that had to be diverted from elsewhere in our budget to cover the necessary expenses that were not anticipated when the budget was put together for the year. So while the initial push for funds has subsided we hope that you will continue to support us.
