THANKS SO MUCH!

To everyone who has contributed in some way, whether it's donating artwork, taking off work to visit the auction, braving the traffic to drive to Old Town Alexandria, sending prayers of encouragement, THANK YOU!! :)

On Saturday, May 16th, after a whole day of beautiful weather when it was projected to rain, serenaded by an acoustic guitar, keyboard, smooth vocals (George and Brian from the WAAC Band) and a cool breeze through an open window, we concluded this segment of Imagine Jordi.
Just over half of the artwork were bid on, and we are now in the process of reuniting the pieces with their new happy owners. The remainder of the artwork is STILL on display at Firehook Cafe! The shop owner and manager have been incredibly gracious with allowing us to use their wall space indefinitely until all the artwork is sold (they even bought several pieces!), so if you weren't able to make it down to the auction last weekend, please check it out if you have a chance! :)

As of right now, we have raised about $3000, but the contributions are still coming in! We will try to get a digital thumbnail of the remaining pieces up on this site, so if you'd like to bid virtually you can :)

Just so you have an idea of how this money will be used in Jordi, here's a breakdown of the building costs.

Iron Rod Rs 90000 US$ 2000
Cement Rs 80000 US$ 1800
Concrete Rs 50000 US$ 1200
Doors and Windows Rs 60000 US$ 1300
Labour Rs100000 US$ 2250

Total Rs380000 US$8550 (approx.)

We have quite a number of pictures from the auction weekend, which we will put up asap.
Please continue to check this site for updates, and remember us in your prayers!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)
