Bonnie you are as much a part of it as everyone else. Talking about
AWF is the way to get us noticed in the community. That brings in
donations which is what we all want in the end ~ the same end
result. This IS a volunteer organization and that is what keeps it
going.

The article is the property of @u2 so if u2.com wanted to put up the
article they would have to contact the @u2 site for permission to do
it.

As long as we all remember here at our group, which started out as u2sangel2001 that it took MORE than 10 women who put this group together and sustains it. What about those of us who are merely foot soldiers for the AWF?(we are part of this effort too) But it IS a wonderful article and should bring more interest/awareness/money to our endeavors.

Take good care, everyone, and God bless the AWF always!

Debbie,

I think if you go back and read the article again you will see that
the article's whole focus is about how volunteers ARE the AWF and
how we want to remain true to the grassroots fundamentals that have
brought us all together.

Thanks so much for your continued support

Debbie - I thought that came out very well in the article! There
were many mentions of the volunteers all throughout the article,
particularly in Julie's comments, and Kelley took the time to talk to
several people who do not serve on the board to help make the point.
I think that 10 women thing was only related to the one quote from
Africare about how the board came up for the dinner - the people
Africare has actually met.

I loved this article! It's awesome!

I just want to second that! What an amazing group of people you all
are! Thank you so much for all that you do to keep the AWF going.

I'm proud to be a part of this...if only on the fringe. I talk about
the Fund to everyone.

Is there any way this article could get wider circulation? Perhaps at
U2.com or even in the newspapers?

I think this article could really help us become more well known in
the greater community.

The kind words that Africare people had about AWF was very
heartwarming. I feel "elevated"...thank you Bono!

Subject: Possible Media Lead


Hi All!

I wanted to let everyone know of a POSSIBLE media lead I just received from a friend of mine in Atlanta who works at Turner Communications, the parent company of CNN. I met my friend when we both were covering Bono's appearance at the King Center's "Salute to Greatness" awards ceremony in January - I was reporting for Interference.com and my friend was reporting for CNN.

I was just FINALLY able to get hold of them and I will be emailing Julie and Jo the contact info they gave me in order to reach the PRODUCERS of the various CNN shows. This is in hopes that they can be persuaded to give our Bono Birthday Well project a mention, an interview, etc. ON THE AIR! I don't know if this will work - but it is DEFINITELY worth the time to try.

Hopefully, this will ONE MORE sign of my undeterred commitment and friendship with and for EVERY member of the AWF. We ARE ALL ONE and if we ever attempt to separate ourselves from each other, we diminish our power and effectiveness for the People of Africa.

And because I really do not "toot" my own horn very much, I think this is an appropriate time to mention what has been happening with me quietly over the last several months. In February, I accepted a position with a Sister Cities International program that the city of Austin(Texas) has with Maseru, Lesotho. Lesotho unfortunately has the 4th highest HIV-infected rate in the world.(33% of its adult population is HIV-infected.) Because of my friendship with the chairwoman of the committee and her knowledge that I am a longtime AIDS activist with a LOT of determination, she asked me to accept the title of Co-ordinator, HIV/AIDS Projects.

I staff booths at community events, do outreach at churches and schools, talk to our local media and will be a public speaker next month at a Global AIDS function in town - this is besides co-ordinating with the rest of our Committee on direct links with Lesotho.
Just this past weekend, I staffed a booth at our local "Marleyfest" in honor of Bob Marley and I raised $100 for an AIDS orphanage in Africa, collected over 50 signatures for DATA's petitions to Keep America's Promise to Africa AND PASSED OUT 27 copies of our Bono Birthday Well info!

This IS NOT to brag - I don't do that. But it is to say that, if given the chance, I DO PRODUCE MEASURABLE RESULTS and would like to become an even bigger part of the AWF than I have been able to be in the past. I am making contacts that can be helpful to the mission of the AWF but I would like to TRULY feel that I am fully accepted and appreciated here.

Anyway, enough for now - we have work to do. Julie and Jo expect your personal emails asap. Take good care, dear friends, and let's ALL continue to support each other, especially as we approach 30 April. Let's keep our good thoughts and deeds going - the People of Africa need them and I think the B-man does too!

And remember, God blesses the AWF always.
ONE,
debbie

Hi all! I was late in getting my address out to receive postcards to
send - so when I was filling them out last weekend I also went to the
stations websites and sent e-mails to as many people as I could.

I was pretty happy to have received this e-mail this morning! (pasted
below. WBCN used to be the home of Carter Alan, author of the "Road
to Pop". I have an unplugged compilation CD that the station put out
and it includes "Staring at the Sun". In the beginning of the song,
Bono says something similar to "I'm on a beach in Dublin, let's face
it - without BCN we'd all be f***"

I hope to hear more!

Dear Friend,

I thought you'd be interested in what DATA's doing to raise the issue about the crisis of AIDS and poverty in Africa. Africa's at a critical turning point, and could go either way -- the crises could get far worse or YOU can be part of helping Africa turn these crises around.

Learn about how you can get involved and make a difference now: www.data.org/action/

Learn more about DATA and the emergency of AIDS and poverty in Africa at: www.data.org

In particular, I thought you'd find the following item interesting:
http://www.data.org/archives/000460.php

Hi Everyone! I thought this article from DATA would be most appropriate as we continue to advocate for as much money as possible for our Bono Birthday Well project! It is VERY heartening to me that DATA keeps finding little ways in which tto support our efforts at the AfricanWellFund! Take good care and God bless always! ONE, debbie

Hi Debbie -

Thank you for forwarding that. I'm not sure we could say that DATA
specifically wrote that to assist the AWF, but we're sure glad that
to hear about the focus on water needs.

We're already planning to link up to that series of articles
regarding Erin Chapman's travels.

I really didn't say that DATA specifically put that up to help us, Elizabeth, but if we remember even from the beginning of the AfricanWellFund, DATA used to run a little interactive piece on its frontpage with Bono's quote about the need for clean water in Africa. I guess I was just pleased that Erin's piece coincides with the AWF's attempt to build Birthday wells for Bono in Ethiopia - I still think it might help us. Take good care and God bless. ONE, debbie
