Harambee


Harambee means "together pushing forward" in Swahili, or as we like to say in the US, "many hands make light work".

This weekend I officially launched my fundraising efforts to raise nearly $5K to cover the costs of my project. I am drawing on my entire community to support my efforts, mailing approximately 265 letters to friends, family and acquaintances, emailing about 350 people, and hoping that all of those folks spread the word to a few more . My internship is taking on new meaning as more people in my life contribute their time, energy, and skills to help me make it happen.

If you, or someone you know would like to make a donation, please visit the website for Network for Good, and enter SOTENI in the field for charity name. Click "donate now" and just be sure to type in my name under designation.
