The circus is in town!

There is a little circus in town that is here for just a few more days.
It is not a fancy circus , it is a humble little circus, with no performing animals except for two monkeys that stand on the side lines but for the kids here it is a huge event.
They are now offering schools the very low rate of $1.50 US per ticket to go to the circus.
We have spoken to them and they are willing to do a show for our three pre-schools tomorrow morning at 9.am. But we need the money for the tickets. If you would like to send a few children to the circus....please send us the donation quickly. We have a 100 children from the combined three pre-schools that would love to be able to go. It is $150 to send these children to the circus for the morning for their tickets.
We also need help with the transportation costs for the children from San Jorge and Tierra Linda. ....the cost of three vans to bring the children to the circus is $150 US.....I know that this is not a huge need but it would be a wonderful experience for the children, it would enrich their learning experience and be very exciting for them. They have never been to a circus before. So for 100 children to go to the circus it is $300 including transportation to and from their villages and their tickets. Its show time.....anyone able to help the children have a wonderful childhood experience ???? We took the children from the orphanage in San Andres and they loved it. We would love to be able to have the children from the Mayan Families pre-schools also have this experience. So far we have collected $50....we just need another $250 US. ( by tomorrow morning!! :( ) If 25 people give $10 each ...we will be able to go!
