Story
There are two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ---- Edith Wharton
I, together with 7 of my fellow MBA students, and with the support of the University of Westminster and The Great Generation, need your help.
From the 4-18 September 2010, we will be working with 3 charities in Kampala Uganda. We will assist these charities in helping them to increase and develop the market for their handmade bead distribution (see pictures), and with their day to day business processes.
Your contribution will help us to lend a hand in assisting the charities to further generate their own production and income (which is needed to finance the medication for many children and adults with HIV/AIDS), and to instill training and skills for long-term sustainability.
Your contribution (for any amount), will help us to finance our basic travel and living expenses and to ensure a better future for these people!
If you have any ideas and suggestions and possibly know of anyone who would be willing to help us in any way, please let me know. Furthermore, please can you pass this on for us as we need all the help and support that we can get.
For further information, please go to:
Social Entrepreneurship Blog at Westminster
AND, feel free to contact me at alvarezfojo@gmail.com.
On behalf of all involved, I thank you for your contribution and for helping us to make this project possible.
Great Generation is the charity institution located in London who is linked with the charities in Uganda
