Iván and I wanted to go volunteering for a month to Africa in an area where no international help was already available. We had been searching on the Internet and found an organization called "BOHAPO". The foundation is located in a rural area called Kabula (western Kenya, Bungoma District) and the website can be found at the following address : http://bohapo.cfsites.org/
We contacted the founders, Edwin and Jacky in March 2008 through the Internet, so as to get information and let them know that we would be happy to go and volunteer for their organization. Before flying to Kenya in October 2008, we decided to organize a fundraising at our workplace and within a period of 2 weeks, we could raise a total of 2000 US $ among our colleagues. Iván organized the fundraising within Aer Lingus while I was collecting the money amongst my workmates at Hertz Europe Service Centre.
I take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to all the people who have donated !
In the picture above you can see one of the two notices we made to introduce the donation project to our colleague
