Bob and Rosalie Boileau of Canada have been long time supporters of the Nata Blog. We are so thrilled that they have made the trip to Nata to see how we are managing our trust and to donate more items. They are pictured above in Francistown outside the store where they bought 15 soccer balls to be distributed to kids in Nata and the nearby village of Maposa. They took it upon themselves to put cans around various businesses in British Columbia and started their own fundraising drive called "Change for Africa". They showed up with over $1200 dollars and we bought pencils, pens, erasers, essay books, rulers, balls, bats, peanuts and candy that will all be distributed to the 204 kids at Maposa primary school. We will use the occassion to talk about HIV/AIDS and how to prevent it and not stigmatize those that have it. We want to thank the following businesses and people for helping us here in Nata. Thanks to Curves, Ken and Linda Biro and Gibsons Building Supplies in Gibson, BC. Big thanks to Habitat for Humanity Restore, GBS, Suncoast Diving, and Eecol Electric all in Sechelt, British Columbia and to Rudy of Eecol Electric in Port Coquitlam. This project continues to amaze us at the generosity of our readers. Bob and Rosalie will be in Botswana for over one month so we'll keep you posted on their time with us.
