The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) recently released a call for proposals. Agencies working with refugees and migrants in Thailand on health and education projects are urged to submit project proposals for a grant totalling $22.4 million(or is it 22.6?). The organization I now work for is fighting for a peice of that pie so the office is bustling with frantic activity. We have one month to submit a proposal responding to USAID's requirements for a five year program plan. If we succeed, the organization's will expand their activities as well as the locations they cover. Winning the proposal means I won't spend all of next year madly fundraising to keep the school afloat. It might also mean expanding the school. If we lose, the organization shuts down and I lose my salary and start fundraising.

What would you do with $22.4 million?
