In order to raise money for ASSASS-Burundi projects, and to help create a more connected world, the LR Jean-Claude and his partners in Burundi are working on music, videos, e-cards, etc that will be available for purchase (downloads) online. Jean-Claude has already begun to create a collection of music and videos made by him and his friends, in Burundi, to share with the world and help show people another side to Burundi.

We are currently designing a calendar from the wonderful images Sabina took from the women, children and Yoshinkhel itself. Who would help us to sell it in their surroundings???

The village of Nabitende will attempt to break a Guinness World Record™ by making the largest stamp mosaic on the first of December, World Aids Day 2009.

Orphans and other vulnerable children will make it to raise awareness among themselves about Aids, to empower them, raise awareness of their situation and to raise funds for this village. The biggest reason is, though, to give them a fun day and maybe some art classes beforehand.

Earlier this year, the digital camera that was used to visually document exciting news and progress being made at Arrow-Web Hospital was stolen when Bramuel was ambushed by a group of robbers on his way home from a conference. Since that time, he has not been able to replace it.

The knitting training was held by Sabina with great success. Do you have further ideas about what skills could be developed and how - including literacy - or what businesses could be set up? We are looking forward to your contributions!

People can now contribute to Buterere through www.givemeaning.com.

Neighbours, please make this known to everyone in your network who might be interested to donate. Thank you !!

Also if you have any other idea that you would be willing to carry out to fundraise for Buterere please do so and tell us about it.

We really need to get the money together for Buterere now !!

In order to find people/organisations interested in supporting Yoshinkhel financially or as volunteers or in becoming business partners it is important to promote the work done!

Anjana has written an article on the skills development program which can be used as a basis for publications in newspapers, magazines or on other websites. Do you have any contacts?
