Steck Family Budget Increase

As you may imagine, some things are not just exactly as were expected when we made up a budget before we came to Thailand. God be praised, we have not suffered any hardship. However, there were some expenses that we did not foresee, and we wish to assist with some of the ongoing expenses here at Sunshine Orchard, such as utilities (internet, telephone, electricity), that are a great benefit to our family as well as to the school. Therefore, we have raised our goal to $2,000 per month, beginning with donations received in January. As has been our practice, funds that we receive over the goal will be used to assist Sunshine Orchard and other work for the Karen people.
