Very special thanks to good friends of HARAMBEE:

To our friends in Kenya, those who donate to help them are an answer to a prayer, & you are in their daily prayers of gratitude.  I know for certain that God hears and understands Swahili.  Now they know it, too.  God love you all....

• The anonymous donor who graciously sent a check for $1,000.  Only God and your bank know who you are...but children with full bellies due to your compassionate generosity keep you in their prayers every day!
• Judy Steed, artist from River Forest, Illinois, who recently had a showing of her beautiful mosaic-framed mirrors and donated a percentage of the profits to us.  If you are looking for a unique holiday or birthday gift, contact Judy at:  judysteed51@hotmail.com
• Rhonda & Dave Rider, owners & operators of the best little goat farm you'll ever see, out in Winlock, WA (www.bluerosedairy.com [2]) They taught me to make goat cheese & outfitted me with supplies to bring that skill to Kenya.  For an amazingly delicious product, order from their website. 
• Bev Pierce & John McCarthy, after spending many hours, much cash, and great energy helping with fundraising...what would we have done without you!
