Education for Africa I have raised about $25,000 for a well and school in Mwanza, Africa. I am working closely with Plan Canada to finalize both. We should finish the well with a fund raiser in Ottawa in May but I need help to raise $46,000 to finish the school. I am looking for people to host events for this great cause. Events of any kind will work, including golf tournaments, fun runs, socials, galas, etc.

I have issued a challenge in that section of Get Involved. Consider helping out. I have visited the kids and I can assure you it is a wondeful feeling to be able to help, knowing what it means to them.
