A Special "Thank You"

I had mentioned earlier that College Park was donating all the money from this summer's rummage sale to me and my work here in Kosova. I was able to hear back from my mom that the sale made $1,597.06! Amost $1,600! WOW! All my funds are officially covered now! Praise the Lord!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped out or donated items!!! I cannot tell you how much this means to me! You all have been so giving and so supportive. I would have never even been able to step foot on the plane if it wasn't for you! I am so honored to be a part of your lives and be so loved by you. Thank you.

Here is my "Thank You" card to you in Albanian! :)

Info on Kosovo

Kosovo is the newest and youngest country in the world. It was once a part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 2008 they declared their independence. The people of Kosovo have suffered a lot of turmoil and pain from the war between
the Albanians and Serbians that carried on for many years. It is estimated that 13,000 died and 300,000 were displaced. Over 90% of the country is Muslim (but a much smaller percentage of actual followers) and 3% Roman Catholic. The unemployment rate is roughly 40-45%. The main language is Albanian. The average annual income per captia is $3,300 (U.S. dollars).
