Thank you for the update. Please tell George how sorry we all are for his loss. I will come to see you in late June or early July. So glad you are feeling better
Very best, Margee

Hi Gang
Since my time will be so limited on the call, and I apologize for that, here are some of my thoughts and an update
1) Looks like Rotary is not ready yet for this. I just got an email late last night from Jerry Reed (Jessica's grandfather?) that this is not possible at this time
2) My most immediate concern is for the orphans who in my opinion are the most vulnerable. I think it is important to get a clear idea of the monthly cost for them (food, books, school fees) etc I have committed to George's salary and need to know the monthly for this as well as how much I have covered
3) Here is my cut on the projects:
- orphans
- school
- micro-finance so they can start their own projects
4) Jerry will go with me to Kisumu in March (just confirmed an hour ago) He could assess how we could best go forward with this-if you all agree. We can then get this out to Firelight and perhaps Omidyar who I presented to a few weeks ago. They are possibly interested in funding a project in Rwanda and I would add this to that proposal
5) I love the micro-fund-raising idea and if we agree on a few projects we could get the pictures associated with each attached to the site
Look forward to chatting with all of you soon. Sorry I have to get off at 4:30 but am at office with people needing to see me at that time
Best, Margee
