Chifu and All: Orgs Needing Help/THANKS for Yours!/a list

[Guest guest]

Hello Dear Chifu and All,

My big apologies for not " seeing " this earlier...I am getting abt 500 mails a

day, and my human machine has been in crash mode (w/a cold), so I am definitely

behind the curve.

You will hopefully be back from Canada now, or tomorrow, so it would be

wonderful to pick up this discussion if possible. Orgs needing help include

AIDS treatments members like Reachout, St Rita's, Lake Fellowship Centre, Deaf Impact

Ministry (all in Kisumu); SIDAREC (Nairobi).

Others include KCYP (Kibera, at www.kcyp.net), Voluntary Youth Philanthropist

(they run the Peace Camel Caravan each year, which you can see at

www.peace-caravan.org, and are planning outreach activities to youth in

Eldoret), REPACTED (www.repacted.org) in Nakuru, all doing peace-related work.

I've just heard from Ken Chelimo, national coordinator of KenTel (Kenya Network

of Telecentres), that he has lost both his home and his livelihood to vandalism

(I will post his appeal here tomorrow).

I wonder how Twana Twitu is faring?

Hope we can enlist your friends and contacts, and get some help to these folks.

Perhaps first to those who need food and medicines, and then to those doing

peace-related activities. The latter may become even more imperative if the

political situation does not change.

There is one network of which I'm a member (Minciu Sodas, at www.ms.lt), which

has been organizing an emergency response system in Kenya. To date, we have sent

almost $7000 to our members there, much of it in the form of phone credits

(which can be bought there, or through MamaMikes here), which have been used

both for communicating throughout the country, and also in exchange for food and

even safe transport.

Our members have given credits to friends and colleagues too, expanding the

network further. We are getting so many reports of needs, especially for food.

Tom Ochuka of Deaf Impact Ministry is a member here as well.

Will close for now with greatest thanks and hopes that we can work together on

this, Chifu and many more! Blessings to all, Janet
