- About Me:
- My daughter spent a year in Tanzania working with street boys. She met and married a native of Tanzania, Meru tribe. I am now related to half of Tanzania. I love my family!
Because we do love and respect all humans we could not ignore those we could help. We are fortunate to be in a position that we can help a few. Upendo Tanzania was formed for the purpose of helping as many as we can.

Thanks for letting me know!
Here is a big event for June. I talked to a vendor this winter that said this is the best show he went to last year.

It is the Pride Festival put on by the GLBT Community Center. I think the non profit rate is $125 but they say 250,000 attended last year.
How is your sandal supply looking?
I bought the PA banner last Monday to give to you and I forgot to give it to Jessica so I still have it.

To answer your question, yes I do have a project of my own.
I am the founder of Uzima Collective, which is a lesbian based non profit org. We are currently putting together a project called "because of who I am" where we will be targeting the governmental officials, and flooding them with mail and postcards in order to bring awareness to corrective rape on lesbians.
My outreach coodinator is Silent Drummer who will be traveling to ghana in august. The work that she has been doing is far beyond serpurb.
To bring some light to her, her business plans to bring books and rainwater harvest systems to remote urban areas in africa.
I am so very proud of her....
We are on a mission for equality and justice for everyone who is without it.
Sorry for rambling on like this...lol
My business partner and I have dedicated the next few years to shepherd this operation to reality and to build practices and policies that will help drill water wells across Africa for decades to come. Many supporters have wished us well and offered us their cooperation.
As I explained tonight at the Uganda Information group, all we lack is funds, and so the focus is on that. The equipment, the people, the place, the mission and the desire are all present and awaiting the last element that I am sure God will provide.
