Jigiya - Our New Mali Friends
Jigiya Responds - Nov '08 | June 7, '08 | Nov '07 | March '07
Last year's years video conference with Jigiya at our September conference is still available here.
One thing we have learned is that our Jigiya friends need some help.
There is no funding for the work they do. The SA Board has decided to
establish a "Jigiya Fund". We started the fund
raising at the SA State Conference by dedicating our 50/50 raffle
profits
to Jigiya. This amounted to $263! Also, the winner of the raffle, Larry
Sutliff, generously donated back $100 of his winnings, bringing the
total to $363!
You can also make a donation to our Jigiya Fund by calling Steve Holmes at (518) 382-1454 or emailing him at seholmes@earthlink.netOur Jigiya friends wearing some T-shirts we sent them from last
year’s conference. Jigiya, by the way, means
‘support’ or ‘help’ in Bambara, a native
language the members of Jigiya speak. We think they want to open up a
can of change in Mali! You can also go to Stephen Anderson’s
site directly and look at all the pictures: www.geocities.com/steve_intj/
