Battery powered torture devices

I used to call them toys and would have wanted one when i was little but now i think their sole purpose is to drive me crazy. The dr bought his kids telitubby shaped phones that play music make noise. They start playing them at 6:30 am and don't stop all day. I hear them at home, when i'm down town in the afternoon, at home in the evening as i try to listen to the bbc. Now another doctor came to visit and brought new toys. The torture continues. At least its good motivation to leave my house.

I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Bolivia, '66-'68), and founder and COO of Water Charity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that does water, sanitation, and public health projects worldwide. We have just started a new initiative, Appropriate Projects, to fund small water and sanitation projects very quickly.

Please check out our website at http://appropriateprojects.com and submit an application. Even though you don't work in water/san, you may want to do a small project at a community facility, clinic, or school.

If you have any questions about the appropriateness of a project, just ask.

Could you pass this message on to your fellow-PCVs in Guinea?

If you like what we do, could you tell others in your social networks about us?

Thanks. Best of luck in your work.
