Dear Friends: We have the bus for the Akha Ride for Freedom. Right now we got a LOT of work to do. Painting, Replace Tires, New Batteries. But this has been a big leap forward, and we are all quite excited. The children have all taken to stowing things away, helping clean the inside, polish parts of the outside and I will be working with volunteers soon to prep the body and get it ready for painting and signs. Tires are going to cost us the most, about $3800 for 8 of them. Batteries (4) $1200. Paint and signs. Not sure on that yet. Anyway, will keep you posted. Matthew McDaniel
