How to help out
We currently are receiving 55% of the funding we need. We have 3 new pledges already this month, but need about 35 additional partners (at an average of $50/month) to provide funding so that we can more effectively build partnerships between the volunteers in churches and the needs in the community and among the international students. Please consider partnering with us to reach this goal. If you would like more information, send an email to phil@bnana.org to schedule an appointment.
