Swaziland's Orphans Need Your Help

At the behest of someone smarter than me ( Thanks Amy), I am re-stating the urgency of our need for supplies and the dire straights that are faced by the orphans at St. Philip's Mission in Mhlathuze

We now have enough for one Physician Travel Pack ! for more info : www.hpicanada.ca
Can we Get Enough for Two !?!

Swaziland has the world’s highest
HIV/AIDS rate ( 38.8% )

life expectancy :

the World Health Organization projection to 2010-->10% of country (110,000 ) will be orphans

Some small communities have more than 5 funerals per week


Here is a link to the 2007 web posting

If you are able to donate $10 - Please do so [ if everyone donates just a little bit, it will literally change these peoples' lives ]

I will need to order the pack(s) by the end of this week to ensure their arrival before we leave. If you could graciously help, please do so prior to the end of this week







you do not need to sign up for a paypal account - simply enter your donation amount, hit "Update Total", and it will ask you to fill in you name and address ( it needs you address so it can cross-reference with your billing address to ensure the credit card is indeed yours)
