I will someday go to Goma in the Congo. Please watch this. This is where our refugees are from. Since this was aired things became more unstable in this region. They need our prayers and help. Please help us help refugees. The UNHRC only protects them in camps, but they are still suffering. Malaria, diseases, poverty, lack of education and starvation are huge problems. Help us make a positive change to refugees in Africa. Beth, Think Humanity

Easter - chicks for orphanage project $5 or $10- "because orphans need hope for the future" Think Humanity is selling gift cards to raise money for chickens and a chicken house. This is a self-sustainable project to help with operating costs for the orphanage project. A card can sell for $5, where you have purchased two chickens or $10 where you have purchased 4 chickens. Each card has a chicken charm attached. The cards can be personalized or as seen. It's a great idea for your grandchild or child, because many children have plenty of toys and get a lot of candy for Easter, but we should not forget those orphaned children in refugee camps in Africa.

That sounds great, I can also teach you to give shots. I have been doing that for years! :) I'm also great at drawing blood and IV's. I'm just so happy to help. I'm not sure if there is much diabetes in Africa, but I would be happy to share my knowledge and resources regarding that as well!
Hey! I have access to tons of medical supplies. Would this be of help? It's mainly blood draw kits, needles, etc. Maybe you know someone who would need them?
Our community has got inspired and having love of TH's work, appreciating and are also ready always to help us. They helped us with cutting and carrying grasses plus trees and poles, except timbers which were gotten far away and had to use transport means of a vehicle and they were too heavy, slashing our land for shed and many other work not mentioned but my understanding is that the community wishes and loves to help and work with TH. I encourage you to get strong so that we can continue to walk in the line of your dream when you visit Kyangwali. Thank you very much. I remain a servant of the people under Think Humanity. Yours Sincerely, Jimmy Livestock Manager
Uniforms have been purchased for the first 10 children that will live in the COBURWAS Club Orphanage and nursery school. The uniform includes two yellow t-shirts, two shorts and one shirt. The t-shirts have a motto on the back that says “God is the source of knowledge” and on the front is the Coburwas Club “badge” or logo. TH raised funds for these first 10 uniforms, however we still need to raise money for 10 pairs of leather shoes for these children. A pair of shoes are $15 each. We need to raise the total of $150 so that all 10 children can have shoes by February. The goal for 2009 is to have 40 children at the orphanage/school. Classes will be held in the large main center room with sleeping quarters in the four side rooms. Uniforms and shoes, totaling $30 for each child, will need to raised for the other 30 orphans/students. (does not include the price of printing the logo and motto) Wereje Benson, TH program manager 1/1/09
