It's a boy!!!!! Important info on the "get kids to school" program in negril - GKTS

[St. Anthony's Kitchen]

Anyone interested in sponsoring a child or assisting with a contribution can do so by going to www.franciscan.org and clicking on DONATE. You can also send a check to my Franciscan provincial offices in Cincinnati--FriarWorks, 1615 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. The gift for US folks is tax-deductible. They wire the funds into our account here. Gifts can be sent me at the address in Weathermon and Milady's thread above. YOU CANADIANS--I just learned that the Franciscan Friars in Western Canada can accept your gift for us--you get a tax break I am told. I am waiting to hear where you send the contributions! Stay tuned!

tfw73 mentioned that if those babies have an empty stomach they cannot learn! That's why we serve breakfast at the Kitchen every school morning. We happily spent USD$1 00 on breakfast from January through June this year. --Fr. Jim

I taught myself to type and did a pretty lousy job of it--the previous comment should say we spent USD$1,500 on breakfast from January through June this year. --Fr. Jim

If all I had was one typo, I'd be ecstatic!

Thanks! And it is good news hearing that Canadians can get a tax deduction by going to the Franciscan Friars of Western Canada to make a donation to this worthy cause.
