Perennial Plant Sale Huge Success

admin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:10:31 +0000

MCOH’s Perennial Plant Sale was the most successful to date. We raised $3,700 (approximately enough money to bring a water pipeline down from the mountain to a village in Mikinduri).

We would like to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone that volunteered their time, to everyone that dropped
off plants, and to everyone that came to purchase plants and compost. We couldn’t have done it without each and everyone of you.

Yard Sale A Giant Success!

admin — Mon, 25 May 2009 13:51:54 +0000

Our Giant Yard Sale was a giant success again this year. We made $10,000 — an increase of $3500 over last year. This will go a long way toward supporting our projects in Mikinduri. Thanks to all of you who contributed items for the sale and who came on Saturday with your family and friends. We had over 1,000 people come through the door!
