first signs of accomplishment!

well folks, it's been awhile. i apologize but cyber cafes just don't like blogger. it takes forever or doesn't work at all. also, i want to apologize for the smut some cyber villain posted, mama miller cleaned it up and saved my rep! three cheers for moms! so, hrere's what's been going down. i've started working on a website for my NGO, a seattle based company called www.interconnection.org works with developing ngos in developing countries, it's FREE!!!! well, almost. i highly recommend just checking this site out, what a great idea! the link i'm pasting below is SUPER IMPORTANT! we are having the third annual Camp GLOW (girls leading our world) this summer in Parakou. This is a week-long camp for 53 girls brought in from rural villages and we're partnered with 3 Beninese Ngos who work in gender development. The way this works is we write a proposal and Peace Corps puts it on the site. People donate funds through this site then we don't have to deal with the banks (saving numerous headaches). Please tell any and all people you know, this is a great cause! We will be covering subjects like sanitation, environmental issues, women's rights, why it's important to stay in school, family planning and many other subjects along the lines of empowerment. any questions, please email me remille5@yahoo.com I'm in Cotonou for the annual all-vol conference then off on a 10 day vacation to Togo, Burkina Faso, and Mali. Pics will come when the connection picks up in Parakou. Hope you're all great and PLEASE check out this link!
