----------------------------------------------------

12,000 antibiotic tablets (amoxicillin and erythromycin) were given to me, but these were expired and the West Africa AIDS Foundation would not receive them. I passed most of these to Dr Robert Scott in Oakland and he is taking them to his clinic in Zimbabwe in February 2007.

I was able to distribute some smaller amounts of the expired medication at clinics and one of the orphanages that had a clinic. The non-expired HIV medications donated by Dr Richard Cazen of San Francisco were well received by the WAAF.

Of course gifts for friends and their family were also packed. Without the assistance of my friends there, this project would simply not be possible. In addition to hosting me for 2 weeks, they provided transportation and assisted with the distribution. They are my cultural liaisons and also provided me with a sense of security as I walked around Ghana and Togo with cash to distribute.

Thanks to the Montclair Soccer Club (http://www.montclairsoccer.org/), the Midwest AIDS Prevention Project (www.aidsprevention.org), and PjurUSA (www.pjurusa.com) for their very generous contributions.

I must also recognize all the people in the USA who contributed greatly in the form of cash, clothing, or other in-kind donations. Your generosity has been incredible. You helped touch a thousand lives this holiday season. I do not know how I can thank you......except to ask you to give more.

I return to Ghana on February 28. Your donations will never go farther or more directly than through your tax-deductible contribution to the TransCap Africa Relief project. I get 100% of your contribution to take directly to Africa.

Thanks to the TransCap Foundation for recognizing the important work we are doing in Africa. Working with trusted local liaisons, we personally place medicine in the hands of doctors, books in the hands of schoolchildren, and clothes in the hands of orphans.
