This is a very exciting step in the process, as it means we'll be able to have our own bank account and take donations in a more direct and transparent way. It's also the first step to getting 501(3)(c) status, which will allow people to give to the organization and get tax benefits. This will of course help. We're slowing making progress in growing the organization, so that's great.
Also, here's some more photos from the field.

Anyways, we're making steady progress, as this milestone of getting non-profit status shows. We're additionally currently working on a plan to expand the centers where we are housing the computers for the Youth Technology and Leadership groups into village information and computer centers. Stay tuned for information as this plan develops. Thanks for all your support!
