MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Thanks to all of your efforts, 88 kids at the Palm Tree Institute in Phnom Penh, Cambodia will have bikes.  Jared, Nick and I are astounded by how quickly this came together. We went live Monday night and starting telling a few friends about this Tuesday. I thought when we kicked this off that there might actually be an element of suspense--WILL THE KIDS GET THE BIKES IN TIME?--no suspense here, the unbelievable generosity of folks from coast to coast put this game away in the first quarter. 

So, the 88bikes are taken care of, but please feel free to donate if you'd like to continue to support the project.  All donations continue to go directly to Friends of Cambodian Children.  Your additional donations will go toward tires, tubes, tools and other bike supplies as well as supporting the kids in establishing a bike shop at the orphanage where they can fix their own bikes and the bikes of others, generate income and become self-sufficient.  Soon we'll revise the weblink to allow for donations of any sum.  As before, you will receive a receipt from Friends of Cambodian Children, a 501c3 charity,  and we'll add your name to the list on the website, which could just keep expanding ad infinitum. 

So, thanks everyone!  It really is heart-warming to see how quickly folks responded to a simple desire to give a few kids the pleasure of owning a bike.
