The Basilio Perez Scholarship fund raised over $3000 at an exceptional event. On the Scarborough, Maine marsh, sun blazing, live fiddle music playing, over 70 people gathered to have a good time... and support Ngabe Bugle and Wounaan students. Thanks to many local businesses, a silent auction raised most of the funds. For the coming school year in Panama, 2008, the fund hopes to raise $10000 to buy uniforms and shoes for elementary students - and with great celebration, support the fund's first university student, teacher-in-training, Marisol Martinez.
