Mike Farrell (of M*A*S*H), Father’s Day, and Network for Africa

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19.  Have you bought a gift for your father yet?  Please consider making a donation in his name to Network for Africa.

Donating to N4A can give a hand up to young men in Africa as they seek to make better lives for their families and communities.  For example, your donation may help fund the Rwanda Multi-Learning Centre, where students, most of whom were orphaned during the 1994 Rwanda genocide, can take literacy, business, and computer classes.  M*A*S*H actor Mike Farrell has narrated a short video about the Multi-Learning Centre: watch the 3-minute video on YouTube here.

One young Rwandan, Joseph, whose parents were murdered, quit school so that he could work and take care of younger relatives who had also been orphaned.  The Multi-Learning Centre has given him a chance to restart his schooling.  Joseph wrote on a recent exam:  “I would like to carry on my studies in order to increase my skills.  I would like to get more money so that I can help African children - to give them school fees, something to eat and other things they don’t have.  As I don’t like injustice in our society, I would like to be a man of the people teaching them how to live in harmony.”

Help men like Joseph help themselves & their families by making a donation to N4A.

N4A will even email you a special card that you can print and give to your father.

Here’s what you do:

1)            Donate at http://www.network4africa.org/give/give-usa.html.

2)            Email Christa at c_v_bennett@yahoo.com and tell her you want the Father’s Day card; give her your name, your dad’s name, and the amount of your donation if you want that included. 

Thank you for your support!
