Dear Friend,

The collapse of the Mustard Seed Nursery School wall is the latest in a series of challenges. The damage stems from increasingly erratic weather patterns–shifting from severe drought to sudden, intense rainfall–which local infrastructure wasn't built to withstand.

I feel like the boy who "cried wolf." There have been so many crises. But thanks to your compassionate support, each has been met—lightning rods installed, students fed despite weather extremes, crop failures, global shortages, and diseases.

I'm reaching out again, this time to repair the Nursery School wall to protect the youngest Mustard Seedians. The repairs will cost about $2400. I haven't had time to set up a special donation page, but you can use the RPU website's donate page and the "Give where it's most needed" form. There's a blank where you can write 'nursery wall.'

Gratefully, 

Elaine
