A Call for Help.
Since 2014, the Dakhleh Oasis Project has been dealing with restrictions on its excavations in Egypt’s western desert. Due to security concerns, traditional funding has dried up, and the Project directors have turned to crowd funding for assistance. If you can spare a dollar, please listen to this audio introduction from Dominic and Dr. Pawel Polkowski, a director working for the project. You can learn more at the websites below, and you can support the DOP via Go Get Funding. Thank you for your time, and please consider supporting a worthy cause. Even one dollar, from enough people, can make a big difference.
