I thought this was pretty cool so I'm sending the links along... http://edunlive.blogspot.com/ Macallan Durkin's Goody Goodies T shirts are featured on the Edun Live blog site.
For those of you who don't know, Edun Live (http://www.edun-live.com/) is a program that was started by U2's Bono and wife Ali Hewson to bring income to Africa.
Two programs Macallan chose are:
Bana ba Letsati, meaning Sunshine Children, a center in Maun for children who are homeless. The center provides meals, counseling, afterschool care, and for older teens, job placement with several "graduates' from the program creating crafts I buy for Women's Work.
Windows of Hope: After meeting with someone from USAID who referred us to a newly assigned Peace Corps volunteer stationed in Ghanzi (our old hometown). PCV Katherine Courtnage invited us to the center where nearly 100 children orphaned by AIDS go afterschool. The center provides a meal, games, counseling and support to the children who are required to stay in school in order to participate. As Macallan and Markham watched the kids play, a volley ball bounced toward Macallan. The children encouraged her to join them, fighting over who got her on their team, she and Markham spent some quality time enjoying the center and Macallan saw first-hand what the money from GG could do.
