A stove for San Jorge Elderly and Orphan care project!

Hi friends,
As you may have read, I posted this morning that we need a large stove for the San Jorge Elderly and Orphan care project.  
The stove costs $250 US.
We have had a very kind offer from a member of this group, who would like to remain anonymous, they will pay half the stove if we can raise the other half...so we need $125 to be able to match this very kind offer...any donation, no matter how small would be really appreciated.....12 people donate $10 and one for $5 ...we would have a stove this week!
At the moment, they have an onil stove which they use for tortillas etc but the pots that they have to cook are too big and they are cooked over an open fire on the ground, this causes a lot of smoke.   We need the larger, round stove to make it a smoke free, healthier environment, not to mention easier for the cook rather than bending down to the ground all the time.
Please spread the word and maybe we can get this stove there this week!
