Africa Vulnerable Children Project
AFRICA VULNERABLE CHILDREN PROJECT has been feeding and schooling hundreds of children, has dug a well providing clean water, has stabilized roofs, and is currently constructing a medical building; Above and beyond providing basic needs for people, this work has given back some dignity to people who had been forgotten. This work unites us all in humanity. Every dollar donated goes directly to Kantolomba where children are fed while attending school.
The people of southern Africa are faced with life-threatening challenges every day. Among the most severe are HIV/AIDS, malaria, malnutrition, and starvation. Children are especially affected. Even if they themselves do not become sick or die, children are likely to lose one or both parents to disease. Living Compassion is working to improve this situation by providing food and other necessities.
Please see the website for more details about this work It is impressive what a small group of people can do. Please consider supporting this nonprofit organization dedicated to peace and service.
To sponsor a child, go to:
http://www.livingcompassion.org/africa/sponsorship.html
Thank you for helping. All donations are Tax-deductable ; 501C Nonprofit.
HOW MUCH TO DONATE:
Consider this from the website: "In August 2005, we began feeding 40 children. Today that number has grown to more than 250, plus the children are now going to school. $12 per month pays for one child to attend school and eat lunch every day."

Good to hear from you guys,we are still staying with Ron and Linda, they left today for a week vacation in Colorado. I saw the energy healer today, he says it's OK, I have quite a lot of pain with this part,the detoxify. It's been cloudy and cool in Montana, hope it gets better before you get here. Keep on biking.

Hey, you guys, your making me homesick (kind of).
Harris State Park: I camped there with my two daughters back in the late 70s. Wood so wet we couldn't start a fire. Beach fogged out for two days. Welcome to wet Oregon, where the state bird is a slug ... at least for western Oregon.
Bend: Part of my family moved there from the Dakotas in the early 1900s. That was when Bend was a booming timber town. Huge Ponderosa Pine right at the end of town. Ravaged the forests like there was no end to them. Only there was.
Keep up the reporting; great reading.

Great to hear from you guys. Why didn't you grow beards and compete? Allis well here. Look forward to more of your shared adventure.
