My friend in Ghana, Africa need some help for a Christmas Shoebox program:
"Would any one be interested in doing some sniffing around for me on donations and funding?

The Centre has so many needs!

The list seems endless... but they have very little funds, only about 400,000 Cedis in their account, which the utilities eat up. They are in arrears in their water bill to a tune of 2,388,406 Cedis (about $350 CDN) and 900,000 Cedis in arrears on their phone bill (about $140 CDN). If anyone has any ideas at all of funding sources... let me know!"
