The time is upon us to renew our committment to La Doctora
Emy has done a perfect job keeping us informed and being the best student possible. Number three in the best medical school in the country against
much more sophisticated big city kids is quite an achievement.
I was hesitant to reach out again for her tuition money until I got a better picture of her scholarship possibilities this semester.
At this time she has earned a partial scholarship which, in the way that many things in Mexico confound me, is not paid until after the semester is
over in May. Therefore, Emy needs to pay for another semester which begins in January.
I am not surprised at how hard she has studied so far but I am surprised that she has held her own against students with a much greater exposure to
competitive schools than Mulege has been able to offer.
My second surprise is how generous some folks have been without being asked. If you feel like contributing something to the cause before the serious
fund-raising begins feel free to Paypal egvbuckovecs@gmail.com and have a feliz navidad y prospero ano nuevo.
Peace.

Just as a reminder;
after filling in a donation amount on PayPal, you can choose the "Personal" tab and click "Gift" before "Sending Money" and PayPal does not charge
commission. This means 100% of your donation goes to Emi's needs, not just what's left over after PayPal's modest commission.

Thank you MF, RG, PH, and RK - At this rate Emy might have a chance to enjoy her family for Christmas
instead of worrying about tuition.
Anybody who suggested that they would like to be long-term contributors will be getting an appeal from me soon, but if you want to be proactive that
would be much appreciated.
Peace,

Just wanted to say that a lot of my friends who donated last year are not Nomads. So make sure that Emy sends a request to them via email.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Thank you LF and CL....Making this the silent fundrasier of the year
I will email potential patrons when I talk to Emy a little and get the exact numbers. The first appeal brought people out of thin air, giving what
support they could, to make this happen. It was joyous to see the spirit manifest itself in such manner.
I do know we haven't hit any goals yet, other than that of being better human beings for nudging a miracle along.
Peace.

Emy
AKMAXX,
I just "Paypal'd" the donation I committed to when I ran into you at El Candil.
Also pitched all the Rotary Club members and all the folks who live in Posada Concepcion.
Give us a progress report when you have time.

Thank you KB and JQ....This will officially kick off in the New Year, but your chance to contribute may run out
thanks to all generous pre-runners. A silent fund-raiser for a very good cause.
Even on vacation Emilia is researching meds for gringos and trying to educate them on the pros and cons of different types. I know she is exhausted
because the best word to describe her is "wan" from lack of sun, a student diet, and too much reading.
She has been fishing with her father so the sun is bringing back the color and the Baja food is bringing back the flesh.
In the first semester she was conducting autopsies on corpses (I have seen the video and you couldn't pay me enough to dig around in these bodies
solely for education). We are getting our monies worth as her grades are as stellar as her communication with her patrons.
Thanks again y prospero ano nuevo.
-Special thanks to the Rotarians who are passing the hat in far-away places for a cause that will surely be a benefit for the greater good.

Thank you SE, KB, BK (CP) - The early start is helpful in keeping the main drive very, very short.
The goal before Feb. 1st is $4,000 again, only because the scholarship Emilia is trying for isn't paid until after the semester is over. So,
obviously, she will roll the scholarship forward into the second year of school and the remaining tuition will be that much easier to round up.
For those of you who have been following the blossoming career of La Doctora you are familiar with her stellar grades, dedication, communication of
her gratitude/progress and her increasing level of confidence in the dream of becoming a neural-surgeon coming true.
Some patrons in the first round of fund-raising committed themselves for the long-term, small but continuous donations, and this is the time to re-up
your commitment.
I applaud those Nomads who dream of visiting the Baja and have already tried to help its best and brightest without ever having set foot across the
border. Your faith will be repaid in spades.
Many of you know how small Mulege is and how hard it is to have a very big dream when you are facing long-odds. Emilia thanks each and everyone of
you from the bottom of her heart and tries to show her gratefulness by working extremely hard to attain the best grades and keeping you updated on her
amazing progress.
As with the first round, if you are known to me and don't have paypal, I will accept your pledge and collect in person in Mulege.
Thanks again for your support.
Peace.

WOW!.....Thanks BG. $1,690 and counting.
Seriously, $20, $50 or $100 is fine so everybody has a chance to add "Patron" to their resume and cross off "Be an Angel" on their bucket list.
Emilia will be thrilled that things are off to a big start. Letters will be going out soon and I hope you forward this link to anybody who finds that
fulfilling a student's dream is really building up some fine karma.
Peace.
