Help!

I think I may have mentioned it before, but my most recent project is
building a milling house with the HIV Positive People's Association in
Masha. The mill house will be an income generating activity to either
provide an income for those unable to find employment or supplement
those who currently have jobs. The proceeds of the mill will be spent
on nutritional support to increase the effectiveness of HIV treatment,
pay for school fees (a handful of the people in the organization are
children) and to implement programs to increase awareness of HIV in
the town. I am funding this project through a Peace Corps Partnership
grant because many of you have asked how you can help/get involved
with my work. I greatly appreciate the offers and really wanted to
give everyone an opportunity to be a part of my Ethiopia experience.

Thank you so much, and please let your friends and family know too!!
