| Journals Claire Burnett, a college student that will be going with us to Uganda, came up with a creative fund-raising idea. We are making very unique journals and selling them for $20 each. All proceeds go directly for the construction of the orphanage. Please let me know if you are interested. Purchase one for a friend or family member because many people appreciate getting gifts within a gift - everybody benefits this way. We can even custom make it just for you.

MUMBELE FUND A young boy, age 6 years named Mumbele, has no mother. She died last year. His father is near death. Lisa Jacquay, from Passion Africa, has offered to help raise money for Mumbele so that he can get an education, clothing, food, soap and other basic needs. Mumbele has chiggers living under his toenails (see photo) and this is partly due to living conditions in the refugee camp. He sleeps in a mud hut on a dirt floor. He needs a bed, mattress, good shoes, socks, and medication. Lisa provided him with new clothes (see photo) and this is a beginning. Here is an excerpt from the journal of Claire Burnett, who accompanied Think Humanity on our June 2008 trip:
A 6 year old boy named Mumbele stands at the door of his mud hut in the refugee camp. He finds hope when donated new clothing. The second dark toe on the right is infected with chiggers. "Poverty slaps me in the face as we visit a home the next day. Why can I not grasp this? I stand here with my camera as my new brother Benson translates the story of this little orphan's life. His name is Mumbele. He is six. His dirty clothes hang from his malnourished body. His legs and feet are cut and infected. He looks down, doesn't smile. Has never smiled. But then Mumbele gets a new set of clothes from Think Humanity, some gifts from a donor, and a promise for a net at distribution the next day. Mumbele smiles for the first time in his life, and my heart breaks. It is all real now. I can't hold back the tears so I put on my sunglasses and walk to the road to try and collect myself. Why? Really why? Why is that not me? Smiled for the first time in his life? Wow. An ounce of hope." -Claire Burnett
HopeHub Here's a wonderful way to give a gift within a gift. It's called HopeHub, where you can shop online and donate half of the commissions generated from the purchase to Project Meds and Nets. HopeHub includes more than 200 of the most popular online retailers and allows shoppers to choose from a charity. HopeHub was founded by two Boulder sisters, Melissa Richards and Katy Richards, after their mom suffered a brain injury at age 49. The women gave up their legal careers to take care of their mother. In doing so, they met many people who were also in need. They decided to band together and to create the Web site for these people.
