There are ...great work on the posts as always Lea! There are loads of amazing volunteer programs out there, especially with the web these days. The most important thing is to plant the seed and get folks interested in making a difference! An update on Longitude's progress: they just got a huge funds match from a UK org and are working to rebuild villages for widowers so that they can have safer (better lit, closer latrines, actual doors on their huts, etc) living quarters to prevent the 'tainted' women from being raped. so happy to see them still doing such great work!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290167313978632814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401445845131091225.post-90070340180615020582008-07-24T15:29:00.000-05:002008-07-24T15:29:00.000-05:00Nice spelling!
