The 30 Hour Famine

Taking a break from reporting news from Buduburam to bring you a video of the 30 hour Famine, an awareness and fund raising event that was held in Los Angeles, CA, on March 7th-8th 2008.

We would like to thank Bruce and Tanya Fleenor; Christ's Church and of course the wonderful kids who participated in this event

Help us make our voice louder!

Dear friends,

We are working hard to find a way to produce a promotional video for The Niapele Project - this would be an amazing tool for us, and allow us to reach so many more potential supporters!

Ayoka Productions, a young non-profit which provides video production services to grass roots organization, has agreed to produce this for us, but we need to raise $1,500 to cover the costs.

Read here how film is a vital tool for non-profits today

Donations of every size make a true difference - chip in today!

With sincere thanks - The Niapele Project Team and Ayoka Prod.

Donate your old laptop to The Niapele Project!

Our nutrition consulant in Buduburam, Adam Sandow, performs critical work for us - he is in charge of collecting quantitative data to assess the impact of the School Feeding Program on the 550+ elementary school students who benefit from it.

Adam Sandow, performing the clinical eval for the School Feeding Program

He currently uses a shared computer at the camp clinic, but he could REALLY use a laptop, so he can bring it with him when he performs data collection, work from home, etc. He is a really amazing Ghanaian guy - extremely well educated and dedicated to helping those in need. We are truly honored to have him as part of our team.

**If you have an old laptop that you don't know what to do with - send it our way!**

Celina and Penelope will be returning to Ghana for the month of April, and we hope to be able to give him his laptop then.

Thank you for your help!

Peace,

The Niapele Project Team
