Evening in the Orient Fundraiser a Success!

The Second Annual Foundation for Progress fundraiser, Evening in the Orient, was a huge success. The funding raised from the evening went beyond expectations. The event was beautifully catered by Chef Brent Pollock at Mountain View Country Club and included music and a presentation by Foundation for Progress Georgia Program Director and Founder, Kimberly Cofer.

With the newly raised funds, Foundation for Progress plans to continue it's work in Georgia helping the social development of the country's child care system. We plan on implementing another solar panel hot water heating system at a run-down orphanage outside of the capital city, Tbilisi. We also will use the money to bring wheelchairs to disabled children in rural Georgia who are currently confined to their beds due to a lack of mobility. We also will continue our work implementing an outdoor playground and garden area for the Tbilisi Infant House Orphanage, in partnership with Save the Children.
