Phase 2: Build
We've got land - now what?
Now we build a school. In order to do this we are going to need your help. We need to raise $50,000 to start the building process and a total of $250,000 for the entire school to be completed. This construction stage of development, Phase 2, will proceed as follows:
- Clearing the land, probably by hand laborers with machetes
- Constructing fences around the property
- Laying the foundations for the different buildings
- Digging and constructing a well
- Building each separate classroom, dormitory building, lunchroom, meeting room, etc.
As this process unfolds, we will continue our planning and fundraising here at home. We'll need your help, though, to make it all happen. Here are some specific ways you can help:
- Host a fundraising party at your home (we will supply you with all the necessary marketing material for the event. brochures, video, pictures etc...)
- Have a garage sale, with proceeds to benefit Mercy's Village
- Make a direct donation to Mercy's Village
- Spread the word to family, friends, or co-workers who may be interested in helping out
- Volunteer. We always need an extra set of hands for our events and fundraising efforts.
If you have an idea for a fun or unique event that you'd like Mercy's Village to be a part of we'd love to hear from you.
