And your help is needed!
To complete a Community Center for preschool children, for health-care workers and their supplies and community events. Doors, windows and water are needed. Since dollars go along way in Swaziland, your gift will make a big difference.
Monies have already been given, but work begins on the project ONLY WHEN ALL of the funds are secured. Please consider a gift to help this project get up and running. It's vital to the wellbeing of the community in which my son lives and works. He's carefully chosen the work and developed the plans. Everyone's excited to see it get underway.
Remember, this is a TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation when made through the Peace Corps Website.

Dear Friends of Josh,
We are excited to tell you about Josh Eggebeen’s Peace Corps Partnership Program project. Since its inception in 1964, the Peace Corps Partnership Program has helped thousands of Peace Corps Volunteers implement community-initiated projects worldwide. Now Josh is taking on a new Community Social Center project in Swaziland that needs your support.
This project, developed to address a pressing community need, will be implemented by both Josh and local partners. This project will benefit the people of the community for many years to come.
In order to begin implementation, Josh must raise $5,741.96 from friends, family and other interested donors. Josh and the people of the community are asking for your assistance to turn this project into a reality.
The easiest way to donate is to use this link, 645-088. Although, the web site is the quickest way to make a donation, you may also make a check payable to Peace Corps Partnership Program and send it to:
Paul D. Coverdell Peace Corps Headquarters
Peace Corps Partnership Program, OPSI
1111 20th Street NW
Washington DC 20526
Be sure to indicate the project number, 645-088, on the check so it will be applied to the correct project.
Also, if you’re looking for ways to make your donation go even farther, check with your employer to see if they have a matching gifts program; many companies match donations dollar for dollar. Furthermore, consider forwarding this email to anyone else who may be interested in supporting Josh. Remember that gifts supporting this project are tax-deductible!
Please feel free to contact our office directly at 202.692.1682 or 1.800.424.8580 x2170 with any questions you might have. Your support will go a long way to aid Josh’s efforts in Swaziland.
Best,
Melissa Becchi

Dear Josh - My name is Kevin Laporte and I am a member of First Presbyterian Church of Harbor Springs MI. Your dad was with us for too short a time several years ago. Your mom was wonderful to get to know too. We have a church member in the Peace Corps too stationed in Mali. His name is Jim Allen and his wife's name is Joy. They are both serving together. Just thought you may have the opportunity to meet them somehow - God bless you in your service.
