Would you guys be interested in helping me help somebody?
« on: December 08, 2010, 04:34:08 PM »
I posted this in the extra-curricular activities thread, but it didn't seem to gain any traction there so forgive me for reposting.
This is my friend, Jose.

He lives in Tanzania. I'm raising money to send him to safari guide school so he can provide for his little sisters and widowed mother.  For the whole story check out my site.
http://www.safarischoolfund.com
Please give what you can. Seriously. Even if it's only five bucks. It would mean the world to me, and even more to Jose and his family.  You all are such a great group of people I'd be remiss to not reach out to you.

Asante Sana (thank you very much)
Joel

PS - Thank you to the couple of FOTs who have already given.  I suspect they became aware of it through my facebook page.

I love it - I'll have to wait till next week when I get paid again!

Also, that link has a misspelling in it guys - it's missing the "c" in "school" - should be:

http://www.safarischoolfund.com

Remember how he couldn't stop his leg?

Thank you Alex!  I can only assume that the tone I read into your message is tongue and cheek. You drove it home, and for that I thank you.  This is no small thing we are doing for Jose and his family.

Thanks to you all.   I'm still taking donations if anyone wants to donate as I'm going to build this into a bonafide foundation. So sending Jose to school is only step one!

If I sounded insincere it was unintentional. What you're doing is nice.
