How to move forward

The biggest challenge right now is really how to move forwards. To rebuild the school - all the new classrooms, I've got a quotation for 1,5 million Kes. I don't have nearly that amount of money, so I need to decide If I should do a few rooms at the time. The girls in sweden has some money, some of the other swedes living in Nairobi might have some money and I don't yet know if I'm going to get the weleda scholarship. I also need to start all the things I need to do for Christmas. I think I have to:
-get Ebba started in doing the christmas cards
-send e-mails to all my contacts
-activate the facebook page
-update the webpage
I guess that this will contribute with some money. I'm also contemplating waiting until next year, when I see the result of the christmas drive, but then again, christmas is a long break for the school and by doing it now it will be done when the students are off and will not affect their daily school work.
I also know my mother has a few contacts, so I have to ask her to get in touch with them. My dad promised me to talk to his friends that work with big companies, so I can send them a presentation of the school and might find new sponsors. I'm planning to go to the school very soon to discuss it with George. I've already had a lot of e-mail contacts with him, and asked him for new quotations.
It is really frustrating when I have so many plans, but not at all the money to go through with my plans. It is also frustrating to just wait and not really know how to solve the problem. I'm telling myself to just keep working. To wright the list above helped a little, now at least, I know where to start.
