Wiring Uganda With Vision
January 27th, 2007 Michael Skye
In the summer of 2006, Clovis Ategeka, downloaded our Vision Force 101 program. His story begins here. Fast forward 6 months and Clovis has rented space for his Vision Cafe. Now the workshops and classes he leads can be held indoors, and his students who are learning to be visionaries and entrepreneurs can connect to a global community through the internet… But first, they need to secure internet access. Currently internet service is monopolized by two companies and is quite difficult to come by. It takes a substantial investment to secure internet access for his cafe. $3,400 will do it, and we’ll provide his cost breakdown and business plan upon request. Start helping Clovis get his cafe wired by making a contribution through this secure funding opion: ChipIn:
On behalf of Clovis and all his students, we thank you!

You will want to know about http://www.ChangingThePresent.org
The site lets you choose exactly what you want to do to make the world a better place. For just a few dollars, you can choose from among such opportunities as:
• preserve an acre of the rainforest;
• provide cataract surgery to make a blind person see;
• provide a child with her first book;
• fund an hour of cancer research;
• shelter refugees;
• feed the hungry
• and many more
Browse by cause, see what experts or friends suggest, or search by name for your own favorites. With thousands of specific donation opportunities addressing virtually every cause, you’re sure to discover something that moves you.
When birthdays, weddings and holidays roll around, donation gifts made in a friend’s name offer a wonderful way to show we care, instead of buying yet more stuff. After all, how many of us really want another fruitcake or fuzzy slippers? Imagine, for one delicious moment, how much we could accomplish if even some of the $250 billion we spend each year buying presents went instead to donation gifts that do good. Wish lists and registries ensure we get the perfect gift, while personalized, printed greeting cards announce this more meaningful way of showing our love. The site is both a tool to facilitate and also a catalyst to promote this social norm.
Profile pages with favorite causes and favorite nonprofits let us share our enthusiasm and passions with others. Giving becomes more than a transaction; it becomes a way to share your interests and passions with others.
