More Than Stone

Thanks to John for pointing out Mike Todd’s blog. Mike is seeking 1000 people to give $10.00 by December 31st to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation funds community-based initiatives in Africa. Our funding works in four areas:

* to provide care at the community level to women who are ill and struggling to survive, so that their lives can be free from pain, humiliation and indignity;
* to assist orphans and other AIDS-affected children in every possible way, from the payment of school fees to the provision of food;
* to support the unsung heroes of Africa, the grandmothers, who bury their own children and care for their orphan grandchildren;
* to support associations of people living with HIV/AIDS - courageous men and women who have openly declared their status - so that they can educate themselves and share information with their broader communities on prevention, treatment, care and the elimination of stigma.

So, post this on your blog, give 10 bucks, make this your “one thing” for today.
