Message-ID: <41775.22620.qm@web53905.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Dear Friends of GUINEA and of School-to-School International, Fewer than half of all girls in Guinea make it to middle school. Girls who drop out of school are more vulnerable to poverty, maternal mortality, hunger, violence, abuse, exploitation, trafficking, and illness. To break this cycle, STS is launching a Mother?s Day Fundraising Campaign to support 300 girls through scholarships, community training, school supplies and latrines ? all proven methods of improving girls? chances of educational success. In order to implement our girls? education program, we need your support. Our goal is to raise $3,000 USD by May 10, 2009, Mother?s Day. Please visit our GlobalGiving website, Help 300 Girls Stay in School in Guinea, West Africa. To donate,?CLICK HERE.? http://www.sts-international.org/Mother-s-Day-Campaign.html For more information about our organization and this program please visit: www.sts-international.org.? Please forward this e-mail to your friends to help spread the word about School-to-School International?s Mother?s Day Fundraiser.? Thank you for your support.

I?wanted to let the FOG community know that Sharing Resources Worldwide (SRW) will be conducting?a second (first was in 2006) eyeglass mission to Tougue?this coming June.? ? Many of the required elements are falling?into place with the help of many,?including PC Guinea who graciously assisted in getting some of the eyeglasses to Guinea and is storing the boxes until?our arrival.? Hassan from Doucki?has made contact with Sightsavers in Labe, which will be providing an eyecare professional to assist.? Hassan will also help translate, as he did in 2006.??There will be two opticians from the US going, my beautiful wife Hadja and one of her co-workers and an American ophthalmologist who is practicing in Tel Aviv. ? The remaining element is the ever precarious transportation of people, equipment and supplies.? In 2006 we received assistance from Helen Keller International and a contact with the DPSP. ? However, this year we're having trouble securing transport ahead of time..? I'm wondering if anyone out there is aware of a reliable and safe chauffeur with a good vehicle.? Perhaps an ex-PC driver or even a company that's a step above the gare-routiere de Conakry.? Any ideas or contacts from the FOG community would be much appreciated. ? Peace, ?
