SpiritWalkers, founded by Tim Bullock and Myrna Munchus-Bullock, is
working to bring hope and goodwill to the village of Gege in Swaziland
with an initiative to purchase an unused clinic to support those living
with HIV and Aids, and to support school children in the surrounding
villages. HIV infection is estimated to be about 42% in Swaziland, one
of
the most affected populations in the world. Schools are now provide
two
meals a day for children and are not able to afford the costs. The
medical clinic, which could be so helpful to those infected, sits
unused
and for sale.
We invite the community of the Pioneer Valley to this event to raise
money
to send to Gege to help start these initiatives and build a bridge from
our community to the vital communities in Swaziland. For $150 a year,
a
single child is schooled and fed two meals a day. For $40,000 the
medical
clinic will be purchased to operate as a central support to the
region.
These two initiatives are within our easy reach if we all work
together.
Join us for a potluck dinner at 6pm, followed by a slide show and
presentation by Tim and Myrna to learn about their year living within
the
community of Gege.
At 8pm, boogie down to the Reggea Disco beats of DJ Ras Jahn to raise a
bouyant spirit of hope and goodwill to send with Tim as he returns to
Gege
in October.
