We have all of the financial statements from the 5 schools that we are supporting. 100% of the money that we give them, and we give them 100% of what we raise, goes for the children's education - books, supplies, food, and transportation are included. That's one reason I went in March - to check up on how our funds were being spent. I visited all 5 schools, met with the staff, and talked to the children. I was satisfied.
