There is a good possibility that I can operate under the umbrella of an international NGO called International Fund for Africa (ifundafrica.org). I'm going to talk with two Ethiopian women who run the Ethiopian operations Monday for dinner. This arrangement w ifundafrica would be far better than the idea I have been trying to manifest. Donations would be easier for people to give, I'd have the protection and companionship from a long-established organization, and I'd eventually have some sort of salary, rather than an endless stream of expenses. ifundafrica used to be Aamsale. Here is an article I found moving about the man who created both, Dr Anteneh Roba. He's an Ethiopian MD working in Houston, and has been enthusiastic about my possibly joining his organization. <http://www.gratitudegourmet.com/1/post/2010/1/interview-with-dr-anteneh-roba.html> [Posted in FML 7200]
