Already, dear readers, you are making a difference. For example, a few days ago, a classroom in North Carolina learned that they will be able to learn how to identify wild birds because you donated enough for them to fulfill their funding request. Thank you!

Of course, I will be sharing all updates with you that they send during the upcoming school year.

Dear GrrlScientist,

Thank you so much for funding my request for binoculars. Your gift was especially thoughtful. Since I first posted my proposal, our after school Explorers Club has grown from 30 to 85 children in grades K-5! Thanks to your generous donation, we now have enough binoculars for each small group of children to have a pair of binoculars to share. The students are becoming very familiar with the field guides and they get excited when they actually identify a bird with the book. These binoculars will also be great as the weather turns cold. Bird feeders and bird baths are located near the windows and students can bird watch from inside when the weather is bad. Our next Explorers Club meeting is Oct.6 and I know the children will be amazed to learn that a generous person provided them with binoculars to use in their outdoor “adventures.” Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Tina
