The first four organizations will also receive baskets filled with shampoo, laundry detergent, dish soap, deodorant, cologne or perfume, tissues, toothbrushes, toothpaste, band-aids, coffee cups, soap, and any free samples people and corporations will donate—these items packaged nicely in a basket could be presented to people living with HIV and cancer during their hospital stay or upon leaving a hospital or attending an organized meeting of AIDS sufferers or cancer survivors.

Fish Farming and Related Training and Economic Development in Kenya
For several years Susan has been traveling to Kenya at her own expense, and volunteering her time to train and support local people in fish farming. Susan’s expertise as a fisheries biologist enables her to deliver this program. Funds raised are used to cover the costs of training, materials, the set-up of a micro-credit system and for local assistance to oversee the success of the initiative. In recent years additional economic development programs such as a training center where girls learn sewing through a women’s tailoring co-operative, and a micro-credit program so that fish farmers can buy nets and other supplies, have been added to this project. Provides a nourishing diet, jobs that allow parents to stay at home, and reduce the spread of AIDS.
