All the monies raised for the construction of the shelters is now run through the Island School amalgamated charities account. The total cost for the two shelters is approx US$10,000.
$4,000 has been paid to ACAP as the first installment, another $4000 will be paid after the mid term report, and the final $2000 on completion (hopefully end 2003). Fundraising is approximately half way there, and Pete is confident that it will be there by the end of the year.

Where does the money go? All donations and fundraisers go directly to helping the porters. All IPPG representatives do their work without any monetary compensation, wages or pay. The only money they touch is the reimbursement of their expenses such as stamps, envelopes, printing/photocopying the newsletters and pamphlets, etc. Occasionally it may be necessary for IPPG to provide a computer or a printer to a rep.
