Helping In Uganda - May 8, 2008
I'd like to invite you all to help make a difference in the lives of one young man and his family in Uganda. Ivan Mubiru began to correspond with me a few months ago. After a while, he decided to ask me for help. But he didn't just ask for a handout--he wants to get an education. All he needs is $450 to attend the Wobulenzi Technical School for an entire year, at the end of which he'll have his degree. He wants to earn a mechanical engineering degree so that he can help support his widowed mother and five sisters. He is only 18 years old, and if you follow the news, you know that times are very rough in war-torn Uganda. I have spoken with the principal at his school outside Kampala City, and he assures me that Ivan is a good student. But Ivan won't be able to continue to attend without our help. I don't know exactly how or why Ivan came into my life, but I know that together, we can change his. It's rare to have the opportunity to make such a big difference with such a teeny amount of money. Won't you join me?
Donations can be made below, and will be paid by me directly to the school. I will keep updating here to let you know when we've reached our goal. Any donations over and above $450 will go toward the Mercy Bead Project, which aids Acholi Villagers in Uganda.

As an incentive to donate, my friend Andrew Bentley, the nationally renowned herbalist, has agreed to film with me a special webcast answering your health, wellness, and herb-related questions. If you donate $10 or over, you are welcome to send in your question which will be answered on a special video segment to be filmed next week. He's really amazing-you should check him out at www.myspace.com/kyherbalist
Also, you will receive via email three free songs from me, featuring my own performances of some of the great old traditional tunes I've learned in the Berea Archives of Traditional Music during my fellowship at the College. Feel free to email me with questions!
