The Final Countdown

Hello All,

I am running out of time in both Fiji and in the internet cafe where I am now typing this post.  I promised some pictures from the computers everyone helped provide the Wailevu West Primary School.  Overall we managed to raise 5,570 FJD or about 3,100 USD.  With that so far what has been purchased is:

1 Projector (1,400 FJD)
2 Computers and 1 Printer (3,200 FJD)
1 Battery Backup for Generator Use (250 FJD)
Cords and Powerstrips (50 FJD)
Transport (100 FJD)

After all that we still have about 500 FJD left over to spend that I am going to work with the teachers to try and figure out what else they will need for the school.  It also may just go to maintenance, paper, and ink for the printer.  Thank you all again for the help and I might just get one more post before we leave.
