I’ve been meaning to get this up for a few days, but some stuff happened. Like my blog crashing my losing all my customizations; hence the new design.
Anywho, earlier this week Josh posted a final update on the Indian Taxi Fund, which, as I mentioned a while back, could, and now has, become the Indian Grocery Store Fund.
The cluster ending up raising less than our goal of $7500. But we did raise $3000 in about a month’s time. I think that’s pretty awesome. Actually I think that’s really awesome. It exceeded my expectations and just goes to prove what the power of scale-free networks and decentralized communities can do and what they can accomplish.
So, we will be lending the $3000 to Amit so he can get to work with the store front. The funds will help him pay for the rent, buy supplies, and stock the store. Not to mention providing for his pregnant wife.
Amit is excited. Josh is excited. I’m excited. And those of you that have helped contribute to this project should be excited too because we are giving to someone and empowering someone who might not otherwise have a chance. We’re participating in the divine process of creativity and restoration. You should be very proud.
To everyone that has helped with this endeavor, thank you, thank you, thank you. This was a “you” project. And it’s because of you, and me, and everyone else that this actually happened.
