I would like to take this great opportunity and thank each and everyone for all your purchases which has enabled the bunju women to earn a living. 

I am currently embarking on my life long ambition of helping and contributing to those in dire need of assistance. In order to maintain a standard of living that is at least adequate for them, such as basic necessities; the children whom are the future must be able to have a good education, which is why I am so concerned.

Enclosed in you will find touching pictures of the faces I have seen on my most recent visit on Sept 14-Oct 5, 2009. After seeing the conditions in which they live, I have decided to build a small day school for these precious children, so that they may learn and be able to contribute to the future growth of their country.

It doesn't take much, a determination to see and a commitment towards its fruition will be the best gift of all.

I have provided the necessary catalyst that will keep this project and it's Prime Objective the focus of my going work. Here are just some of the pictures of what the conditions are like now, and the artist rendering of what the school will look like when completed.

This is not just a dream but a reality, you see I have been helping and contributing the Bunju Women for several years and seeing the impact and the difference it has made to them, led me to this new and challenging venture.

I have opened a special account for this monumental project and all expenses for this sole purpose, and anyone who wishes to see the financial statement may do so upon request.

You can kindly send cash or check payable to Malaika Boutique. Please write for school fund on the memo space provided on the check. You can mail the check to STELLA KRASINSKI C/O MALAIKA BOUTIQUE, 19 COLONY ROAD, PORT JEFFERSON STATION, NY 11776. All the money will be deposited directly to he savings account, which has been opened purposely for this project.
