I had also interviewed the orphanage’s founder, Andeisha Farid of Kabul. Last month, here in New York, we had coffee below Grand Central Station. I have followed her progress carefully.
I knew immediately that Brian’s focus would have an enormous impact on her good work in Afghanistan.

As founder of Orphans International Worldwide, I am familiar with running homes for children around the world – and the difficult task of raising the fund necessary to do so.
I am also familiar with how essential CharityHelp is, as this is the bridge over which we send funds to our own orphans from Haiti to Indonesia. And over the years I have come to have a great respect for CHI’s founder, visionary Paul Stevers.

300 people die of HIV/AIDS related cases daily in Kenya.
The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Kenya has great socio-economic effects. The government declared AIDS a National disaster in 1999. Since then AIDS has been streamlined into all government Ministries due to the multi-sectoral of its effects. Nationally, HIV prevalence rate now for adults stands at 6.1%. Women of age 15-49 are 740,000. Children with HIV/AIDS are 150,000 and the number of AIDS orphans (age 0-17 years) stands at 1,100,000.
Each month in Kenya, over 3,000 babies are born to HIV-positive mothers. Kenya’s health system is ill-equipped for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS related diseases.
Bondo and Siaya are large districts in Nyanza on the edge of Lake Victoria with a total area of 2507km2. They are densely populated with small farm holdings that provide only a subsistence existence; consequently 61% of people live below the poverty line.

The first installment/pilot has been at Ilkilorit high school, where ICROSS have just opened a new health clinic serving the surrounding Maasai communities. The teachers at the school now use their Biogas up to 5 times a day to cook and make tea and are delighted with how easy it is to use. They no longer have any need for charcoal or their old charcoal Jiko (charcoal burning stove) and the schoolchildren are happy to bring the required bucket of dung each day for their teachers.
The system we have installed in Ilkilorit comprises a heavy duty rubber bag as the digester. It sits mostly above ground and uses PVC pipes for inputs and outputs. Plastic gas pipes tap the gas from the digester and transfer it to the point of use. Early research has shown the waste from one cow (10-15kg per day) is enough to sustain a household of 4 people, meeting their domestic fuel needs for cooking. It is also possible to run a converted generator off the gas that can make electricity to power homes, schools and shops, or recharge batteries.

2020-04-08: Nchima Kapoma, student of Carnegie-Mellon university standing Infront of the college campus in Kigali, Rwanda.
Through a community health worker training, 20 women from each of the five communities were identified tounder go TBA training. These women would attend two one-week seminars facilitated by ministry of health workers. The women were taught the essentials of neonatal and maternal health, how to recognise abnormal symptoms and when to refer pregnant women to maternal health clinics. Moreover, the women would learn how to deliver, although home deliveries are not encouraged, they become equipped to deal with emergency deliveries. TBA kits were provided by ICROSS Ireland and contain all the necessary tools to assist a delivery. This project trained 100 TBAs in five communities. Throughout the project, ICROSS worked closely with district health officers who drew from local expertise and taught using a culturally appropriate birth attendant curriculum.

This was near the start of the first day of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer that I did this past weekend, probably within the first four miles or so. I signed up for the walk myself and walked by myself that weekend. That said, I was not alone by a long stretch. There were 2300 walkers and crew and as I walked I walked along side and talked with many people from all over Chicagoland and the country. They had different reasons for walking and different stories about how breast cancer has impacted their own lives. Some were virgin walkers like myself and there were many people who have walked multiple times. It was an amazing experience.
You can see my entire Avon Walk for Breast Cancer 2012, Chicago, set here, along with a full description/story. Thanks for looking!

I took this after the end of the Avon walk. All the walk participants were given new t-shirts to wear to the closing ceremony. We got this light pink ones and the walkers who were breast cancer survivors received deeper pink shirts. I had a few shots here to choose from, but I picked this one because of that walker showing her bandaged foot, and you can also see the other walker with both her knees bandaged. We looked like the walking wounded, but that did not keep us from finishing the walk or from walking across the street to stand for the very moving closing ceremony.
