Updates from Pairoj
Small update. $403 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $148 raised so far (12%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
