Hi both,
Today being Friday, which means it's FollowFriday (#FF) on Twitter, NABUUR sent out a Follow Friday recommendation for both your accounts, Kimilili and Arrow Web Hospital.
Keep up with those updates, they're so nice to read!

Hi Romina
None of these are 'my' village, but spotted that both now have Facebook groups so figured they should be added to the list:

Barr

Jinkfuin
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=51834526031
I have no idea whether any of them are on Twitter.
From looking at the list on the Nabuur Facebook page, I am sure there are lots of others that are not listed on there too.

Over the past week I have been working on making updates to the Nabuur Twitter account (connecting with volunteers, LR's and villages) as well as trying to track down which villages may now have a Facebook group or fan page. If you have a village or you know of a village that has a page or Twitter account, we'd love to connect and help you promote it.
Let me know! Thanks-
Jennifer

Hello;
Kawempe village is on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/HOPE-Childrens-Foundation-Africa/284656005...
Thanks for helping with this! Also, I know that quite a few villages are joining betterplace.org now as well - is it possible to promote those pages too? If so, the link for Kawempe is:

Thanks again!
Cathy.
Thanks Cathy and Stanley! I knew there were more that we didn't know about.
Re: fundraising, yes we can definitely work on promoting those as well. You might want to consider asking in the Storytelling group for help writing up a story about your project and talking about the fundraiser too. Just FYI, I've sent out things about your project (the new website and the fundraiser) on Twitter already :)
Thanks for the update!
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for your effort towards this direction. We will get to the storytelling group

Hi all-
I just wanted to check in and see if we have any updates on other projects active on Facebook, Twitter or other forms of Social Media. If you have stories or things you'd like promoted, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Dear Jennifer,
There is this deaf youg lady I know. Her name is Rosemary Atieno. Atino is about 25 years has be married twice and has had four children. two of the children have died while two are alive with one staying with her poor mother. Atieno lost her last husband in may this year and soon after her husbands family members threw her out.
Her husband may have died of HIV as she shows some signs. Though I speak Kenyan and American sign languages, am unable to communicate with her because Atieno never went to school and was ver shy to speak to me. i concluded that she has multiple problems and i need help on how she can be helped. I managed to take a photo of her and her child which am willing to share.
You did very well when you helped with the groups assisting with people with disabilities at Nabuur. Please advice on the way forward. Can we open a task in our village to seek help for her?
I hope to gear from you.
Solomon Otieno-Furaha Center for the Deaf.
