Local nonprofit receives big donation
Africa's Promise Village, a nonprofit organization that focuses its efforts on the construction of wells, schools and the basic care of residents of Tanzania, Africa, could receive a huge boost in 2013.
After the publication of an article about the nonprofit in the September edition of Community Impact Newspaper, Africa's Promise Village founder Dr. Donna Gunn received a call from a reader.
Doyle Kolle, director of Allied Green LLC and Bastrop resident, has a $380 million contract in Tanzania and offered to help Gunn in her efforts.
"He called me and said, 'Dr. Gunn, we can build that school for you,'" Gunn said. "It is difficult to raise funds, and things don't just fall out of the sky, so I was skeptical at first."
