I want to send this along to you as another unique opportunity to make a difference in an area with great needs. This email is from my friend Charles Howard who served with his family in Uganda (through CURE Intl--a children's hospital). He is now back in the States, and he has made the following request. If you would like to be part of this opportunity (a GREAT way to invest!), please feel free to contact Charles directly
-----------------------
During our time in Uganda, we were blessed to have developed friendships
with a variety of people, one of them, Ronnie, is the subject of this
e-mail.
Ronnie worked as the Radiographer/CT Scan Tech (actually so much more) at
CURE Children's Hospital in Uganda. During his time of service there, it
became apparent to him that for him to realize his personal and professional
dreams that he would need to seek the opportunity of returning to medical
school. His work with children with disabilities at the hospital was a large
impetus to this vision.
For two years he worked through the various bureaucracies of the system and
was accepted at the very last minute to begin school this past fall (Oct).
Through the generosity of some other individuals, we were able to secure the
funding of his first semester of schooling and part of the second term.
We are now seeking to raise $1450 U.S. in a very short time (end of next
week) to fill the gap that was partly created by an unexpected increase in
fees.
If you think you or someone (group) you know would be interested in
assisting Ronnie in furthering his education, please let me know or you can
do one of the following:
Non-tax deductible gifts: Send a check to Charles Howard 1926 Robindale
Ave., Lancaster, PA 17601 or for Tax-deductible checks send them to CURE
International and mark on the check it is designated to Uganda and Ronnie
Mulondo.
CURE International
701 Bosler Avenue
Lemoyne, PA 17043
We are working to establish a more concrete group of longer-term funders for
the rest of his education and if you are not interested or able to donate at
this time, I will be in touch in a few months.
If it is not an anonymous gift and you will be sending your donation
directly to CURE International, please let me know if possible, so I can
keep track of the running total.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this opportunity.
Kind Regards,
Charles Howard
