I was glad to hear from Senator Daschle. If you have a chance check out the video of Senator Daschle and Senator Frist talking about Rwanda and One. It seems pretty clear that both Senators are dedicated to help One in any way they can. I suspect that when everyone gets back to this country they will have a lot of ideas about how all of us can help. I will be ready. Again, my thanks to One and everyone connected with it. One is making a difference, and we can help them achieve their objectives.

I have just returned from two weeks in Rwanda with a delegation of English teachers from the United States, under the auspices of People to People Citizen Ambassador Programs,so am following the ONE visit with great interest. Our group visited genocide sites, schools, and orphanages, and the experience has inspired me to help with the obvious needs of the children: books, learning materials, notebooks, pens, chalk, clothing, money for uniforms etc. While it is a challenge amassing the materials to send, it is an even greater challenge raising the funds necessary to meet mailing costs ($7 per pound). Since there are few street names in Rwanda, all mail needs to go to post office boxes, so thus far I have only used the US postal service. I would appreciate any suggestions for ways to mail materials at a lower cost (the US post office has discontinued surface mail). My email address is: hkweskin@klht.org.
