OK, so we have 45 people that are coming to the benefit dinner so far, and 2 are Jeremy and I. If you are available August 9th please consider coming. If you know anyone that lives in the Northern Colorado area please tell them about it.
we are moving the meeting this Friday nite, to the peanut butter house on the lawn of First Presbyterian , we have child care and a great playground for kids next to the building which is just off the corner of College and Mulberry. Details are available of main page of passion Africa
Scott, I'm just starting on all of them. Who knows yet! Simply raising money on my blog has worked so far (we've raised enough for 2 wells). Hopefully, we'll have product for "I Drink Because I Care" soon and we'll launch that on college campuses. We're also going to do a "I'm Thirsty Too" campaign at fast food restaurants (with a bucket for change). I'll let you guys know how it actually goes. KidsLake was just launched this week, so we'll know soon. I got an email from a teacher this morning that is going to propose that their whole school do it!
I'd love to help brainstorm for fundraisers for you, though. What project is it?
Scott, when you add as a friend then that person will show up on your mypage as your friend. Maybe it is just so we can "collect" each other. lol! ...and yes, familiar with artemisinin. Due to anti-malarial resistance with some of the cheaper drugs (Chloroquine), it has been recommended that artemisinin be used. It is derived from a Chinese plant, but more expensive than other treatments. Uganda declared it their official anti-malaria drug. I have been told about $40 for 10 doses, but I think my guys get it cheaper than that. I have even heard $2 each tablet. It might vary depending on the store that is selling it. (between $2-$4)
Scott, I thought that looked like it was in a church.It brought back great memories of a Baptist Church in the refugee camp were I have my non-profit in Uganda on the border of the DRC. I wil say that the church there in Zambia looks much nicer, however the energy and love for God, I am sure, is the same! Thanks. Beth
I was curious since Malawi and Zambia are neighbors. There is a spot along the main north/south road in Malawi that we parallel the border of Zambia.
In Malawi English and Chewa are the official languages. Up in northern Malawi, where we are working they also speak Tonga and Tumbuka. We have found that those with the least education don't speak English so many times their are few English speakers in our villages.
Scott -- I had to find out whose photos these belonged to and I found ya. I love the picture in the hut with all the children. Can you explain that photo to me? Beth

Great to check out what you are doing in Zambia! This is such a wonderful way to connect with folks! Look forward to getting to know you!
