September Donations





Mike Elder and Mamisoa Rakotonavalona have been Busy Bees collecting funding from their coworkers at Ambatovy for the ASPE Center!
The money raised was used to purchase soap, cooking oil, rice, sugar, school supplies, flip flops, clothes, soccer balls, blankets, mattresses and other items ASPE will put to good use.


We also wish to acknowledge Fabiana and her colleagues for their ongoing monthly support to the ASPE Center, their regular contributions are greatly appreciated!


While it is difficult to acknowledge everyone by name we would like to acknowledge Jelane and Miriam for purchasing 5 bunk-beds with 10 new mattresses, clothing and school supplies, Sandra for her clothing donation, and CAM and CIS for their vegetable, rice, oats and food donations.


A Special Thank You to the Ladies who donated the funds they collected during their afternoon tea-get-togethers to help ASPE and the Nutrition Center and there is an open invitation if you ever wish to visit either of the Centers.

Thank You to Everyone who participated with their donations!
Below are a few pictures showing how your generous donations have helped the Center.
