Who Can Help St Rita's (award-winning children's org in Kisumu)?

[Guest guest]

Dear Bernadette and All,

Hello and immense thanks for sharing your needs! Folks, there is a great need in Kisumu in general, and St Rita's is doing amazing and award-winning work with and for children, so it would be great to give them some specific support. We at the KCA have raised funds for members there already.

Perhaps 's contacts or someone else in AIDS treatments (am also ccing to KCA Main) can help Bernadette at this time? Contribs can be sent directly to her: strita42@... (strita42+hotmail.com...make sure to change the + to a @ when you mail), and Bernadette Otieno, Kisumu. Correct any info, Bernadette!

If anyone wants to PayPal to the KCA on this (treasurer@...) , that should be OK too (Lucy?), but please specify who this is for, so we will know! Do Hez and/or the Toms know Bernadette? Funds being sent to them this weekend could perhaps contain any contrib for Bernadette.

Bernadette, I'm sure they are swamped, but I've been hearing abt the work of the Kenya Red Cross with food, and how about UNICEF, Actionaid, and others?

On the Diocese, thanks so much for any outreach! If your own parish priest has engaged in peace/outreach efforts, that would be a good contact to have too.

With greatest thanks and blessings, Janet

Janet,

I got a phone call with a great lady a Kenyan and a teacher who is very

much interested in helping out.

We need to compile a legitimate list of organisations that need help.

It is imperative that we do this within the next 24 hours. My friends

from Dubai are calling me also what to do.

I am going to Canada to visit my sisters on Thursday so I will be

offline till Saturday. Hopefully we can get something going by at least

10 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Best,
