MAG/09/050: Power generator and water pump for school
I’m writing on behalf of Mother Virgilia Trasatti, general Mother of the “Istituto Suore Pie Operaie” who confirmed the receipt of the 1% donation to their mission in Madascar for the purchase of one power generator to transport water from a well to the school run by the nuns and to the building where young girls of the village carry out various activities. She thanks the group for the financial support and since she’s traveling to Madacascar in May she hope to send photos of the mission very soon.

ETH/09/051: Supplementary feeding for school children
In January 2009, I surprised even myself by deciding to go to Ethiopia as a volunteer worker for three weeks. I had never been there before, and I admit I was anxious about what awaited me. But in the very instant the plane landed in Axum, all my fears dissolved. How could I not feel at home, when the first thing I saw was the familiar Axum obelisk, which had stood guard for so long in front of the main gates to FAO! (click the link above for the full story)

PER/09/08 : Calapuja (Puno) Alpaca Rearing Project
I was in Rome over Christmas and came to FAO to meet Mr Stephen Dowd and to describe the wonderful progress made by the Asociación Civil Artesanias de Calapuja in their efforts to make better use of 85 hectares of land they own at 4,000 metres. My thanks to the 1% Fund for their support of the project that will help the community by providing shelter and water for 60 alpacas of the “Huacaya” breed and by introducing two superior breed stud Alpacas to the herd to improve the quality of the wool produced.

KEN/06/054: Construction of a School Library
I am writing to thank you, on behalf of the Got Matar Community Development Group, for all your help and encouragement! The development of the school continues to move forward in line with the schedule on which I and the Community Development Group agreed in September 2006. It is extraordinary to look back over the past 3 years and see what an enormous amount they have achieved in such a short time under very difficult circumstances.
