Dear Laura Gardner Salazar
Much greeting to you from Good Samaritan. We are all fine at the center. The students are on their midterm. They will be closing their school on 24th of April to open the 2nd semester around First week of May. The no. [number] of children have continued to increase with time. For eg. [example] we rescued a baby girl 2 months (Jackiline) whose mother died 23 of Dec, 2006 from HIV/AIDS. Deborah born October, 2006, her mother is very sick in a serious condition of the same sickness. HIV/AIDS is sweeping lots of people and especially the home being located [in] a slum area. The no. have increased to 220 children. We have several of such cases ranging from one day old and above. We have 10 students who have not yet joined high school because we lacked no one to support their high school. But we hope for the best.
God bless you. |

501 (c) (3) organizations receive this status from the Internal Revenue Service. They must apply for status. At this time their organizational sturcture and activities are studied by the IRS. After a year long waiting period, the organization is given temporary 501 (c) (3) status. After three years of study and monitoring the organization's finances, the organization is given (or refused) full status as a 501 (c) (3) organization. Fabulous African Fabrics has passed all of these landmarks in 2004 and is able to function without paying taxes and to offer its donors tax exempt status for all donations. |
