BOAT FOR SARA | Update #2

Update posted by Jim Kroft

Hello everyone,

Just a brief update with 2 important bits of information! First of all I am just off the phone with PROEM AID. I will be giving a full update when I hear a few more details via mail in the next days. However, I wanted to just give a few of the headlines below. Please do note, as stated in the first update, there are a lot of factors being weighed up, which means that this plan will continue to develop. The main points are:

1) The Spanish Port authorities will not be donating the boat mentioned in the previous update. That means that we have reverted to the original plan for the Boat for Sara campaign, which is to buy the new "Sara" Boat.

2) The good news is the Spanish Port Authorities are donating 2 engines, which will lighten part of the costs.

3) The boat is being manufactured and once ordered will take a month or so to build, including attaching the engine.

4) From there it will be driven to Lesvos. I do not yet have final dates - this is the plan I have heard from Proem Aid. Now that things are clear with the Spanish Port Authority, a more concrete plan is forming.

5) The Boat that Proem Aid are buying is 30.000 euros. They have an additional 10.000 coming in from a separate donation. We are a little short, so I will be campaigning hard the next days in order to help with the final push!

Second, to that effect, I am very happy to announce the album has now arrived! I have attached the artwork, made by Sunst Bros. I will update regarding the mail out later in the week, but it will be with you all soon.

To support the final push of the campaign please post the cover art with this link:

Many thanks everyone! It is a long journey, but I am really proud the campaign has got this far! Here's to the next push!

Jim
