Protect these Zill mango trees... All forum members help needed
« on: February 04, 2019, 06:28:59 PM »
You may recall last year I made an epic journey, transporting 35 mango trees from Florida to Hope Academy for Girls School in Sierra Leone.  33 survived.  The trees are the first plants to go into the school for underprivileged girls botanical garden run by my mother in law.  I've since added trees from Malaysia too.  The school receives zero government funds. Paying staff and running the school is purely by donations.  In a country where 9 in 10 girls don't finish high school, it is sorely needed.  Right now the garden, a source of income for the school,  is wide open and at risk.  I need your help.  I've setup a fundraiser to build the perimeter wall than will protect the garden and the school.  My team will be taking the plunge in chilly waters this February to raise money.  Please donate to protect our Zill mango trees and more...today!

HI,Future you need to set that up using PayPal, and donations can be sent as to Family and Friends, lots of people are skeptical when it comes to putting their credit card numbers online.

Okay, I just donated. I think you should offer rewards such as, for $50 my name will be carved into a fence post. For $100 a dog will named after you. For $500 you can rename one of the girls in the school, etc.

First, thank you!  Second, I’m sure the wild dogs won’t mind a name change. $1000 and it will respond to Sheehan!
