My uncle Mike and aunt Kathy surprised me with a $1,000 donation for the orphanage after I had already reached my goal to raise $1200 for an English teacher at my orphanage. At the same time my mom came across a local woman with an adoped child from Cambodia that started Sustainable Schools International. I donated the money to her- check out what she’s doing:
