| And the cost of a
thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be
exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run. – Henry David Thoreau

| OCF Announces Fundraising Goal |
The
Oregon Conservancy Foundation is currently raising money
for our Africa Project. This project has
been in existence since 1995. One of
our earlier efforts for this project involved the training of Lukas
Kariongi,
of Larmatak Lor-Konerei (a Masai human rights organization located in
Tanzania)
as a renewable energy technician. Lukas, a wonderful kind and modest
human
being, completed this training at Solar Energy International in
Carbondale,
Colorado, and presently is the director of his organization's Solar
Energy
Project. We are hoping to provide Lukas and Larmatak Lor-Konerei with
two solar
powered vaccine refrigerators, startup funds for equipment for a
solar/LED
lighting business for rural local Masailand residents, assistance in
developing
a renewable energy workshop taught by Africans for Africans, and
assistance in
developing a wind-water pumping system that will provide water for two
Masai
Villages (approximately 5000 people). The total estimated cost is $46,100.
Your generosity is truly appreciated. A donation from the heart is gratefully accepted. Little by little, step-by-step, together we can create a better and more hopeful world.
