Hey everyone

I wanted to put a bit of a finance update on here so you guys can be praying for the situation, especially considering the present worldwide financial crisis.

Over the nine months since I arrived out here the rate between the boliviano and the pound has fallen drastically – when I arrived I was getting more or less 15 bolivianos to the pound and now it is less than 10 to the pound. This makes a drop in the amount I am receiving of over 30%, drastically reducing my budget. Also, with the difference in placement to when I was writing my budget before coming out, and the time I am spending in El Alto, I am now spending more than I originally thought on travel every week. All this has meant that my budget is very tightly stretched. Thank you to all of those who have helped out with this so far, however if you would like to consider giving either a monthly amount or a one off donation please contact myself or the finance department at Latin Link who can send you the relevant forms and details.

Bendiciones y amor

Andy
